They can live side-by-side. You need to start it manually. It is
completely independent of launchd (starting something from
Terminal.app will cause Leopard's X11 to pop up). If you want to use
Legacy in that case, you will need to set DISPLAY and have Legacy X11
running, just like on Tiger.
This isn't very thoroughly tested... and there is a weird annoyance
with the close button on windows not working for some reason... =/

Dear Harald & Jeremy,
many thanks for the pointers to installing Tiger's X11 on Leopard!
If I use the legacy version of X11, do I have to start it manually
and does this prevent launchd to start Leopard's X11, or does
launchd start the legacy version instead? In Tiger, I had to set the
$DISPLAY environment variable - is this also true for the legacy
version (I guess this is coupled to the previous launchd question)?
Best regards,
Dirk.

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.
