MacOSX and Xfree86
In anticipation of providing support for OSX when it ships, our Mac gurus have been running beta releases on some G3 powerbooks. With the death of MacX, one of the things a lot of our Mac users want is some XWindows app. So, that's how I got into the act - I mentioned that Xfree86 4.0.2 had been ported to OSX. Naturally, I was asked to try and set this up, get it working, and document the episode.
Well, I sort of have it - installed Xfree86 4.0.2 and Xdarwin 0.4 - BUT - all I can get is a blank (and hence useless X window). Logging in as ">console" and playing with exporting paths and setting DISPLAY, we did get an X session going (with an AIX machine) with consoles, BUT only the mouse would work, the keyboard gave nothing.
Anyone try this? Any suggestions? I need to read more, clearly, and maybe need to install the older 0.3 Xdarwin instead. Plus, I can only run X by executing "./Xdarwin -quatrz" so either need a script solution to this, or to find a X-related file to edit for this (I could not find the .xserverrc file mentioned on the http://mrcla.com/XonX/ site).
TIA
Michael
