Hi All,
I'm running Xquartz from the Macports build on High Sierra.
Lots of things don't really work well
1) I have to run /opt/local/bin/Xquartz manually from a terminal, then start
quartz-wm from the
xterm it fires up. The Applications/Macports/X11.app just bounced endlessly.
2) Even when up, the drawing/rendering speed makes all X11 apps unusably slow.
See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/issues/188
Since X11 is my workhorse, this makes the whole OSX+X11 platform experience
rather
unworkable for me. I've taken to running linux via a VM on OSX - at least the
X11 works well, but it's a heavyweight solution.
It seems to me that without a fix this disqualifies OSX as a platform for
people who depend on the huge legacy set of X11 codes.
Are other people as plagued by these issues as well. Is there any hope of
remediation for Xquartz
or substitute/workaround people know of?
Best wishes
James.
