X.org rather than XFree.org, but, yes, Leopard's X server is X.org-
based
rather than XFree86-based.
ok I screwed up the names in my posting but basically what you say is
what I see.
However I'm running into crashes
saying:
intelix:sources afink$ wireshark --sync
The program 'wireshark' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 57553 error_code 8 request_code 152 minor_code 4)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported
asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
X server bug. See
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1953
for details and, at the end, for information on where to get a fixed X
server.
(Summary, for X geeks: the server temporarily set the depth of a
drawable for some purpose and, in some error cases, failed to
restore it
to the correct value when done.)
ok. So I can safely blame Leopard of bringing me a broken X11.app... ;-)
by the way I think it happens when it starts scrolling lines.
I also noted that it happens also with Monitor set to thousands of
colors instead of millions in my case.
I'm running it on a 23" external monitor while having the internal
monitor of the laptop as secondary screen. And yes I set both monitors
to thousands of colors at testing (usually its set on millions on both).
