FWIW, I have a working version of X11.app running on top of the
Darwin DDX in the top of the X.Org tree. This allows you to use the
X11.app UI but get the advantages of the newer extensions and bug
fixes in X11R6.8.1.
Directions: The patch is available at
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1032282&group_id=18034&atid=318034>.
You should apply x11app.diff in xc/programs/Xserver and then unpack
apple.tgz in Xserver/hw/darwin. The tarball will create a new
darwin/apple directory for X11.app support.
Limitations: Of course this does not make the Darwin DDX grow
features it does not support. So the X11.app built this way does not
have an identical feature set to the standard X11.app. The main
features that Darwin DDX is missing are rootless full screen support
and the option to track Aqua keyboard layout changes as they occur.
Lines using unsupported features in darwin/apple are commented out
with DARWIN_DDX_MISSING.
This is just a proof of principle at this point. The build is
aesthetically ugly and the application UI needs to be abstracted from
the Darwin DDX. Ie. unneeded parts of XDarwin get built into X11.app
for no good reason. If we ever decided to support this for an X.Org
release the build system would be substantially cleaned up.
Have fun,
Torrey
