I've only got access to 32bit hardware, so I haven't seen this myself. However: I'm pretty sure Apple's not going to bother to update X11 on Tiger. However, Fink has packages for XFree86-4.5 and Xorg-6.8.2, if you want to try them. ***WARNING*** If you do try one of them, and build any packages linking X11, if you go back to Apple's X11 you'll have to rebuild those packages. If you want to go ahead: JRemove /usr/X11R6 and /private/etc/X11 as well as X11.app (e.g. under /Applications/Utilities). Then you can use Fink to install 'xfree86' or 'xorg' -- Alexander K.
