Re: Software Update for X11



Hi Craig,

Thanks for understanding. For the record, X11 is now owned by Kevin van Vechten's BSD team (along with most of our other Open Source projects), which should help us respond better to the community.

Best wishes,

With Leopard right around the corner no one should be holding their breath waiting for a patch. But I do hope a fix makes it into Leopard, at least.
In any case, thanks for responding. I didn't realize that the problem was anything more than the timelessly entertaining low- level X11 routines.

Hi all,

As mentioned in the README, this special X11-only update was driven by two urgent issues associated with GLX:

though, we did our best to squeeze in additional fixes where feasible. The problem with 8-bit color, unfortunately, is due to lower-level system components that are not part of X11 per se, and thus not appropriate for this Update. We'll see if we can get that fix into a regular Software Update, but with Leopard right around the corner I can't promise anything.

Best,
