Hi Colin,

I had a brand new iMac with M1 chip last year, set up by the IT team at my 
university, and I had the same problem when I tried and installed xQuartz 2.8.2 
on it.

That computer now had a different issue and was wiped and reinstalled by our IT 
team, and I haven’t yet tried to install xQuartz, but I intend to do it soon.

I have no idea of the answer, but I’d be very interested to know as well!

Best wishes,

Tharin

I have X11 (xQuartz) 2.8.2 installed on MacOS Mojave.  Up until recently I had 
no issues, but I have done something or installed another package that has 
caused it to keep restarting over and over.
Every time I quit X11 it restarts within about 3 seconds.

I did the 
xQuartz.org<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fxquartz.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ct.blumenschein%40uea.ac.uk%7C8422a397231e4b837b2b08dab162b77d%7Cc65f8795ba3d43518a070865e5d8f090%7C0%7C0%7C638017334910445121%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=NYCwcuejLH%2FBO2sDOu2RpXjf4BqRvJpXb%2B84WWb3dkA%3D&reserved=0>
 install, and I seem to have X11 related files in /opt/X11 and /usr/X11/.  I do 
NOT have any .xinitrc file in my user directory however.  I have made no 
changes to any X11 setups.

I have checked the
  /usr/X11/lib/X11//xinit/xinitrc
and
  /usr/X11/lib/X11//xinit/xinitrc.d

and they seem to match completely an install I have on a Big Sur MacOS machine 
where I can launch and quit X11 with no issues.

What might be relaunching X11?  Are there any ideas of where to look to see 
what process is keeping it alive?

Thanks,
Colin Law
