One complaint I have about the current X11 is Xforwarding has YET to work properly for me. no matter how I try to slice it.

Normally you have to execute xhost + to allow connection. . . when you do that it launches X11. . . then you try to remote ssh into a machine. . . it completely locks up the shell, I'm assuming it's causing Xauth to hang.

Has anyone got a proper procedure to get xforward to work in 2.0 . .

I gotta say this is a MESS. . a complete and utter mess. . . this X11 will NOT behave properly.

I think I may definitely revert back to 1.1.3 if I can do so without causing problems with the Leopard X11SDK package installed by XCode. . . has anyone seen issues that have reverted back to 1.1.3?

Thanks,
Bobby

Hey everyone,

	I just caught the X11 list of several emails about Leopard and X11.
Can anyone kindly summarize what's going on with X11 and Leopard?


- X11 will no longer work effectively with dual monitors (or an
external monitor plugged to a laptop in combination with the
builtin lcd)

- X11 won't even start in some circumstances (it is started by the evil / magic / smoke and mirrors launchd daemon, and requires $DISPLAY not be setup by your dot files)

- X11 will no longer enter full screen mode.

- There are problems with using arguments to applications in the
X11 Applications menu.

And has anyone gotten from Apple what's up?


Apparently, the X in Leopard was based on a new Xorg code base and
was not ready for prime time.

There are various workarounds which involve installing X from Tiger.
