No, MacOSX doesn't use X11. Apple implemented a completely new GUI on top of FreeBSD (just like Wayland wants to do). Apple also implemented a X11 server on top of its GUI, so you can run X11 apps on a Mac, but you need to start that server process first (manually). Wayland wants to do the same - so existing X11 based apps can continue to run. MacOSX also has a RDP/VNC style protocol for remote desktop access - but again it is not something built-in like under X11. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
