FWIW, You might want to try the legacy ("Tiger") version of X11 for
Leopard:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/X11_Legacy-1.1.4.1.pkg
Read the README, btw:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/X11_Legacy.README
I'm not saying it will work, but I suspect it might.

Dear X11 developers,
this is not a bug report but my personal view how important a
working X11 stereo on Leopard would be. Most of the scientific
graphics programs that support hardware (or quadbuffered or
sequential) stereo display via an emitter and stereo glasses use X11
for that purpose. These programs worked well in stereo with X11 on
Tiger, but fail with X11 on Leopard. Asking the developers of these
programs why X11 stereo on Leopard fails usually results in the
rather helpless reply that Leopard's X11 doesn't report its stereo
capability to their programs. In a scientific environment, X11
stereo is one of the most important features if you work with
complicated 3D objects like big protein or DNA structures. The non-
functional X11 stereo in Leopard creates a lot of headaches amongst
scientific software developers and users that have to use X11
stereo, and keeps me from upgrading to Leopard on my MacPro.
May I express my urgent wish, probably also in the name of my Mac-
using colleagues world-wide, to get a working X11 stereo on Leopard
as soon as possible?
Many thanks to all X11 developers who have addressed and corrected
so many bugs in X11, thus far!
Best regards,
Dirk Kostrewa.
