This didn't resolve my problem. Thank you soo much for your help. I hope someone will be help me out of this mess. Thanks again. Reply Helpful Thread reply - more options Link to this Post. User profile for user: Frank Caggiano Frank Caggiano. What OS you running? Feb 4, AM in response to Harikasaba In response to Harikasaba Sorry,for reasons unknown to me I am not command language literate every time I open terminal,the first mesage appears as process completed.
Feb 4, AM in response to Harikasaba In response to Harikasaba Silly question but have you logged out and logged back in since you installed XQuartz? Feb 4, AM in response to Frank Caggiano In response to Frank Caggiano I am not sure whether is this the right way to communicate to a forum. Feb 5, AM in response to Harikasaba In response to Harikasaba I would suggest you make a new user account on your machine, log in as that user and try starting X.
I tried to launch manually just to check if it opens. I crashes immediately after I launch. Post by Gustavo Seabra How about when I need to install a new port? Gustavo Seabra Post by Ryan Schmidt There would be nothing to switch because both would be installed.
Post by Ryan Schmidt Yes, select which MacPorts installation by using the absolute path to the port command in that installation.

I just taught myself these x11 commands on Here are a few examples. If anyone could tell me how to get this working with Quartz on Mountain Lion, I would be grateful. Otherwise, I would have to run a VM on my Mac with either Windows and putty in, or try to figure out how to use x11 on my Ubuntu machine.
XQuartz is just a distribution of X11 and is completely compatible with what was previously included with the OS X. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams?

When OS X was first released, there was a long post by one of the Quartz developers on Slashdot explaining why they chose not to use X The argument was quite long, but it basically boiled down to this fact: To get the features that they wanted, they'd have had to implement so many extensions that they'd basically be running an entirely new windowing system anyway, just using X extensions to communicate with it instead of their own system.
Now, all of those extra extensions exist and are well-supported by X. That hasn't stopped Google from implementing its own display system with Android. The saying about those who fail to understand UNIX being condemned to reinvent it poorly is even truer when it comes to X There are architectural similarities between Quartz and X One process mediated access to the display, allocating regions to other processes, and the other processes drew into these directly.
The obvious disadvantage to this was that all processes had access to the frame buffer, so could corrupt the display easily and synchronizing drawing between applications was very difficult. Display PostScript worked in a very different way. This had its own problems, such as the fact that the display server effectively needed to be a complex multitasking virtual machine to prevent programs from taking over all of the display's time.
The design of Quartz is conceptually much simpler. Just as a filesystem virtualizes the disk by providing virtual disks files to applications, Quartz virtualizes the screen by providing virtual frame buffers windows to applications. The window server provides a region of shared memory to clients for drawing and then composites this into the frame buffer on the GPU. It's a little bit more complicated than that, because this buffer is now an OpenGL texture and can be the result of rendering OpenGL graphics to the texture or compositing other textures together.
So what advantages did Quartz have over X11? Over a modern X11 system, none, and several disadvantages that come from tying the policy into the window server. These days, the window server is implemented on top of OpenGL, and the 2D drawing is handled either in software or by sending OpenGL commands to the window server, exactly as would happen with X Unlike X11, the policy for compositing and managing windows is implemented entirely in the window server. With X11, this is handled by a separate processes or two; the window manager and compositing manager, which are sometimes combined into a compositing window manager , and so you can use the same mechanisms on a handheld device or a multi-monitor workstation, just with different policies.
Many improvements have been made over the kind of X11 implementation that was present when Quartz was introduced. Back then, X didn't have any kind of compositing model. There was no sensible support for buffering. Applications each had a region of the display reserved on their behalf, as with QuickDraw, but drew into it with commands sent from the client.
If one window covered another, then the data from the lower window was lost and needed redrawing later. Font rendering was a mess. Quartz fixed all of these and provided much of the inspiration from the later X extensions which served a similar purpose. In terms of current capabilities, Quartz and a recent version of X.
