I want to thank those who posted the instructions and tips on
reverting to Tiger's X11, especially the excellent <http://aaroniba.net/articles/x11-leopard.html
> write-up.
Prior to this I was having multiple problems with the new X11 in
Leopard. One of my projects is on OpenSUSE 10.1, and I connect to that
machine via "ssh -XY". I was seeing the annoying yellow cursor issue
as well as occasional (but significant) repainting problems with the
OpenSUSE 10.1 apps whose displays were being sent to my Mac (Mac Pro,
3.0GHz Quad Xeon, 4GB RAM, X1900XT). When I installed Ben Byer's pre-
compiled patched Xquartz, the yellow cursor was gone but I was getting
frequent crashes of X11.app...
Reverting to Tiger's X11 solved these problems, and I can work on my
OpenSUSE 10.1 system again!
Thanks!
I do look forward to the new X11 server, and I hope Apple gives Ben
Byer's group the resources to fix these serious issues in a timely
manner. Thanks too to My. Byer for patiently answering questions and
giving advice on the mailing list; it makes dealing with these issues
a lot easier knowing that someone knowledgeable at Apple is aware of
the problems and really wants to fix them.
