Xquartz on 10.6.8 Server (problem)

2015-04-06 Thread JF Mezei
I installed xQuartz on a Yosemite laptop (X11 was zapped by upgrade) without problem. I installed xQuartz on a Snow Leopard desktop that still had X11 without problems. So, I did the same on my Snow Leopard Server (xServe). However, the xQuartz.app refuses to start and the log files fill up with

X11 2.7.9 doesn't listed to port 6000 anymore

Got prompted to upgrade to 2.7.9 today which I promptly did. After the update, the xserver on my desktop is no longer listening to port 6000, so scripts from my server can't pop windows onto my Max. the defaults show: "nolisten_tcp" = 0; The SECURITY tab in Preferences for Xquartz

If the problem occurs only on certain screen drawing activities, one possibility is that the remote system thinks your are 8-bit-controls enabled but the terminal emulator (xterm) doesn't, si it receives from remote host escape sequences that it doesn't process and hence gibberish on screen. vi

I have a desktop which acts as X11 server for a number of windows from other machines/servers. With recent versions of OS-X ^H^H^H^H macOS, there were some changes made to allow some activity during sleep. I am not entirely familiar with the mechanics but it is called "Power Nap". One of the

Notes: "wake for network access" is a protocol where one sends a carefully crafted Ethernet packet and the ethernet card, upon receiving it, sends a "wake up" signal to the machine. Normal apps don't send those packets that cause a wake up. And in terms of "keep alive" a connection, there would

Couple of generic comments: Since ARM and Intel share little-endian and 64 bits, the code should compile cleanly. However, Apple has mentioned that it will be using its own graphics cards on the new ARM-based Macs I am more concerned about whether the graphical API used by XQuartz continues to
