Iam still on 10.2.8 with the same problem. Is there any easy
workaround available?
No - at least I have never found one nor have the other people I have
talked to that experienced this problem - it appears to be a OS problem.
Since upgrading to Tiger this no longer happens.
Let me ask about general experiences with X functionality when
upgrading to Tiger (this may be a stupid question, but I am not
familiar with technical "details"):
Can I be confident that all my current X-applications (under
Xdarwin on 10.2.8, most of them installed via fink) will be working
fine with Tigers X, or do I have to go through a tricky updating/
configuration marathon with my apps?? I cannot really afford to
spend too much time on that now...
I would not be confident of that at all.
I personally have not had any problems with X and my X programs on
Tiger but going from 10.2.8 --> 10.4 is not as trivial as some people
might think and 10.4 has broken some of my apps. (updates are on the
way from the respective companies)
It is an easy upgrade to perform but it may break some of your
applications.
If you have the resources I would reccomend cloning to a bootable
external drive and then (after verifying the external clone is
bootable and complete) I would upgrade to Tiger and see if it broke
anything.
If not - great your all set.
If it did - then you have the option to revert back to your backup.
Be sure and check your hardware is supported by Tiger prior to
purchasing.
