Hope this has not been asked before (but likely has).
I have X Darwin 1.1.1 running with twm as the window manager.
Downloaded Apple's X11 public beta 2-12-03 (which uses
quartz-wm). The Apple X11 runs fine but the X Darwin now won't
work. Can't remember the error msg (if any) but I had a hunch
it might be the window manager.
Long and the short of it is that if I edit the cshrc file and use
twm as a window manager then X Darwin 1.1.1 works but Apple X11 public
beta 2-12-03 will not. If I use quartz-wm then Apple X11 works but
X Darwin 1.1.1 won't.
In an "ideal world" shouldn't the window manager be more independent
of X11 (IE ideally a window manager should work with any X11 version).
Is there a quick and easy fix to get both of these to work with either
twm or quartz-wm?
None of this is of earth shattering importance to me. It is more an
exercise of curiousity.
