Re: Drawing in Darwin...

Hi,

Mac OS X has its own windowing environment, Quartz. It is not
available in Darwin. I do not believe it has much in common at all with
the X Window system, maybe someone else can be more specific.

http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/SystemOverview/SystemOverview/
SystemArchitecture/The_Graphic_Environment.html talks more about it.

I'd point you at some FAQs for X11, but the site seems to be down
at the moment.
