Comments on: Modular X.org for Mac OS X http://pogma.com/2007/04/11/modular-xorg-for-mac-os-x/ Pogma's blog Thu, 06 Mar 2008 02:39:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: peter http://pogma.com/2007/04/11/modular-xorg-for-mac-os-x/comment-page-1/#comment-5 peter Sat, 21 Apr 2007 02:03:48 +0000 http://pogma.com/2007/04/11/modular-xorg-for-mac-os-x/#comment-5 I don't believe that there will be a working, released x.org until release 7.3. What is available currently is still under development.

I think libtool might have pieces of the necessary mojo squirreled away in a dozen bits of m4 code that expands into bash code that can be evaluated by posix sh... ;-) I didn't realize you were keeping a blog until you favourited me at technorati by the way!
