Using XDarwin with Apple's X11
Authored by: adashiel on Mar 03, '03 03:09:42PM
If you installed XDarwin prior to Apple's X11, you should already have XDarwin and XDarwinStartup in /usr/X11/bin/. At least I did. You'll probably have the XDarwinQuartz symlink, too. Since these were pretty old, though, I decided to download the newer binaries from the 4.2.99.901 snapshot. The required files are contained in Xxserv.tgz and Xquartz.tgz. I had to delete my .Xauthority file first before I could get it to work (not sure why), but otherwise it co-exists happily with Apple's X11. I haven't tried it from >console yet, but it works well in Quartz fullscreen and rootless.

Using XDarwin with Apple's X11

My ~/.Xauthority was an empty file... so I doubt it caused any trouble. It look slike VLC and `mplayer' don't work... that's a shame.

And I'm slightly reluctant to go >console again since the last time it got messy. Otherwise things seem to work.

Oh, `mplayer' doesn't work on fullscreen mode regardless if you are in a normal login or >console.

Okay, so maybe not

I couldn't get XDarwin running from the console using the 4.2.99.901 snapshot. I tore out the Apple X11 stuff, recompiled xfree86 (using Fink), then reinstalled Apple X11. It wasn't elegant, but everything works now.
