It should be possible to add better support for retina if anyone wants to spend time on it, but not much work has been going into XQuartz for the past five years or so. > I use ~/.xinitrc instead of ~/.xinitrc.d/*.sh and I thought that > might be causing a problem but when I moved ~/.xinitrc to > ~/.xinitrc.disabled and restarted XQuartz and entered > full-screen mode, all I got was a solid black screen with > nothing at all happening.

It should be rather easy to add, but unfortunately, I don't have much time for such things any more. If you're interested in fixing it, I'll gladly take your patch. > 3) Also, when XQuartz starts (after entering full-screen mode), > the keyboard focus doesn't start to follow the mouse until after > I have clicked once in a window.

This was > the other reason that I kept using the old X11.app. Also the first I've heard of that one... this is likely an issue in quartz-wm rather than XQuartz. The source for that is at https://github.com/XQuartz/quartz-wm. At minimum, file a bug report for your problems. > 4) This applies to the old X11.app and XQuartz: I execute xset > in my ~/.xinitrc to change the keyboard rate among other things > but it doesn't work there and I have to execute it manually from > an xterm for it to work. Any idea why that might be happening? It's likely getting overridden when we setup your keyboard settings. We derive the repeat rate from macOS, and that's likely happening slightly after your xset in your xinitrc. > 5) Last question: I use a lesstif/motif version of vim all the > time (Lesstif is from macports). Lesstif is super duper deprecated and no longer maintained. I suggest you stop using it. I believe we were just talking about removing it from MacPorts. > So I want to test XQuartz > 2.7.10_rc5.

That depends on what problems you mean. You'll have the bugs present in 2.7.9 that were fixed in 2.7.10_rc5. If you have any issues with the flat_namespace, do report them ASAP. > > cheers, > raf > > _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.
