Re: Possible problem with X11

First off - thanks for all the work on the Leopard X11 package. X11 is working pretty well for me except for my configure scripts not knowing how to detect OpenGL anymore (it sounds like lots of other people have related problems).

This is not an X11 bug. This is a bug in the linker. Hopefully an Xcode update will fix it soon.


I am using X11.app 2.1.1 (xorg-server 1.3.0-apple5) and OS X 10.5.1. I have enabled fast user switching.

Fast-user-switching in X11.app is a known bug (our only known regression, sorry). Ben is looking into the cause / fix.


This morning I switched back to the admin account and the Finder became unresponsive. I couldn't restart Finder, so I had to reboot the Mac. I took a look at /var/log/system.log after the reboot and found it started this way:

...

This pattern persisted for thousands of lines.

The screen flashing I noticed probably happened once per attempt to start the X11 server.


Is there a way to tell the X11 server to give up when it can't launch instead of going into an infinite loop?

This is a launchd issue, I believe... I'm not sure how we can address it, but I am aware of the problem. I've just kill -9'd the client trying to connect to get it to stop.


Thanks,
Jeremy
