As of version 2.8.0, XQuartz does not provide support for high-resolution Retina displays to X11 apps, which run in pixel-doubled mode on high-resolution displays. The current version of XQuartz is a DDX (Device Dependent X ) included in the X.Org Server and implements support for hardware-accelerated 2D graphics (in versions prior to 2.1), hardware OpenGL acceleration and integration with Aqua, the macOS graphical user interface (GUI). Some source code is available under the Apple Public Source License while the bulk is licensed under the MIT License. The source code for X11 is available from Apple. In Mac OS X Leopard, X11 was updated to use X.Org Server (X11R7.2) rather than XFree86. 'Rootless' means that X window applications show up on the Quartz desktop, appearing like any other windowed Quartz application (that is, not in a virtual desktop contained within another window). This implementation includes an XFree86 4.4 based X11 window server, Quartz rootless window manager, libraries, and basic utilities such as xterm. In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Apple's X11 implemented X11 protocol release 6.6 (X11R6.6). Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion installed X11.app by default, but from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on Apple dropped dedicated support for X11.app, with users being directed to the open source XQuartz project (to which Apple contributes) instead. In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger X11.app was an optional install included on the install DVD. The Solaris 9 box has * for access in Xaccess, so I'm not sure what more to do.X11.app was initially available as a downloadable public beta for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar and later included as a standard package for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. No matter how I adjust the command, it's the same old story - gray screen with the X cursor and these endless loops on dead xdm sessions. XDM: too many retransmissions, declaring session dead _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to rootĬould not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) So, I opened/mapped ports 6000-6010 and then I started to get this instead: I found out that I was originally being denied due to firewall issues.

Two years later - did anyone figure this out?!
