Re: X.org / X11.app source code distribution available; cursor fix binary, too

The following steps should work to build the Xquartz that comes with Leopard, assuming you're on a Leopard system. (It's possible to do this on Tiger, too, but is much more difficult and the subject for another conversation.)

curl -LO http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.22.tar.gz

If I have the Leopard X11 installed, I don't need this pkg-config, right? It's the same version.

As an added bonus, I applied the yellow-cursor-fix patch that I dropped on the floor and it's present in that source tree. A compiled version of that binary is available at http://people.freedesktop.org/~bbyer/x11app/Xquartz-cursorfix.bz2.

I'd be interested in hearing if that binary fixes the cursor problem (I still have never successfully reproduced the problem, and not for lack of trying). I would also like to hear if those instructions work, and I would love any other patches thrown my way, too.

Your instructions work perfectly. Less than 10 minutes to get a new Xquartz.


Both the self-compiled Xquartz and your precompiled one fix the yellow-cursor problem for me. I am testing it with gcompris (available from Fink), where it is particularly blatant.

For a message to this list a couple of months ago I made screenshots with the good and the bad cursor colors:
Here are two screenshots of the gcompris window showing the mouse pointer in the form of an eraser tool (the sponge in the rectangle left of the center):

Thanks for fixing this so quickly. Now to the mouse button emulation... :-)
