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.

X11 for Mac OS X 1.0. An implementation of the X Window System that makes it possible to run X11-based applications in Mac OS X. Based on the open source XFree86 project — the most common implementation of X11 — X11 for Mac OS X is compatible, fast, and fully integrated with Mac OS X. It includes the full X11R6.6 technology. Current Version: 1.0 (October 28, 2003) / 1.1.3 (November 14, 2006) / 2.1.6 (May 12, 2009). X11 for Mac OS X - from Apple itself - offers a complete X Window System implementation for running X11-based applications on Mac OS X 10.3 Panther (users of prior versions of Mac OS X should use XFree86, and Tiger users have the latest version on their installer DVDs).

Publisher's Description

Mac X11 App

X11 for Mac OS X offers a complete X Window System implementation for running X11-based applications on Mac OS X. Based on the de facto-standard for X11, the open source XFree86 project, X11 for Mac OS X is compatible, fast and fully integrated with Mac OS X. It includes the full X11R6.6 technology including a window server, libraries and basic utilities such as xterm. Native Aqua and X11 applications run side by side on the Mac OS X desktop. You can cut and paste between X11 and Aqua windows. You can minimise X11 windows to the Dock â?? even with the â??Genie Effectâ??. You use the Aqua window controls to close, minimise, and zoom X11 windows. And of course, each X11 window comes with its own carefully rendered drop shadow. Experts may choose to replace the native Aqua window manager with their own familiar, standard X Window Manager.

Mac Os X11

Cool... I was actually reading about this a week or so ago somewhere else. I know there was already another implementation of an X server for OSX, but from what I read, the apple release is much faster and feature packed.

What is X11 Forwarding?

X11 Forwarding is what gives you the ability to run GUIs from a server on your own local machine (neat, huh?). For example, you can run Emacs from homework.eecs.tufts.edu from the comfort of your dorm.

How do I use X11?

Simple! All operating systems have a quick process to setup X11 Forwarding. Please see below for specific instructions based on operating system.

X11 Forwarding in Linux/Mac OS X

– For Macs, your best option is to download xQuartz from xQuartz.org. This is free software which will allow you to forward X11 on a Mac.

Mac Os X11

• Download the xQuartz DMG, open it, and follow the installation instructions.
• Run xQuartz from the Applications folder.

– For Linux, depending on your distribution, there may be no pre-requisites.

Connecting With X11 through SSH

• Connect to your favorite EECS server using ssh, but remember to tell it to forward X by adding the “-X” parameter.
  • Example: ssh –X [username]@homework.eecs.tufts.edu
• To test to make sure X11 is working properly, run “xeyes” and a simple GUI should appear on the screen.
• That’s it! Any other application (Emacs, Matlab, etc) that you’d like to run the GUI for, simply start the program and a window will appear.

X11 Forwarding in Windows with MobaXterm

1. We recommend using MobaXterm for all your Windows X11 Forwarding needs.
2. Simply download the installer, or run the portable edition, onto your computer.
3. Follow all setup defaults for the installation.
4. Run MobaXterm and use the Start local terminal button to begin a session.
5. SSH to an EECS server as you normally would, but be sure to specify the -Y option. For Example:
   • ssh -Y [username]@[servername].eecs.tufts.edu
6. You’re now good to run GUI-based applications over ssh!

X11 For Mac

X11 Forwarding in Windows with PUTTY/Xming

Mac X11 Server

1. Xming is a lightweight and reliable X11 forwarding utility that can be used in conjuncture with Putty.
2. Launch Xming: A small program will appear in the taskbar; keep this running for the duration of the session.
3. Launch PuTTy, an SSH (Secure SHell) client: Start->Programs->PuTTy->PuTTy.
4. In the left-hand menu, expand “SSH”, open the “X11” menu, and check “Enable X11 Forwarding.” Do not forget this step!
   
5. Go back to the “Session” menu, and under “Host Name” type yourusername@linux.cs.tufts.edu, then press Open.
   
6. If a security alert pops up, press yes, then type your password into the open shell.
   
7. You’re in Linux! Everything, such as “emacs myfile &”, will work just like a Linux lab machine.
   If you want to ssh to another server during your session but want to keep X11 forwarding enabled, you must use the command “ssh -Y servername”.

X11 Forwarding in Windows with Cygwin/X

X11 Osx

There are some cases in which Putty simply does not have enough functionality, and a more robust SSH/X11 client is necessary. In these cases, Windows users are best off using Cygwin. While Cygwin is extremely powerful and versatile, it can be a little overwhelming or confusing to setup and use your first time. The steps below will walk you through installing and running X11 Forwarding with Cygwin.

1. Go to www.cygwin.com and download the latest version.
   
2. Run the setup.exe that you downloaded.
   
3. Select “Install From Internet” as your download source.
   
4. Leave the ‘Root Directory’ as default.
   
5. Choose where you want your package files installed.
   
6. Leave “Use System Proxy Settings” selected.
7. Select any Download site, though the top one will be fine.
8. Leave the default packages selected and change the View to Full.
9. Use the Search box to search for openssh.
10. Left-Click openssh: The OpenSSH server and client programs to set it to install the latest version. You can see that the New column has changed from Skip to the current version.
    
11. Use the search box once again to search for xinit.
12. Left-Click xinit: X Org X server launcher so that it switches from Skip to the current version.
    
13. Press next to Continue and review.
14. Note towards the bottom all the xorg packages which will also be installed. These are all necessary.
    
15. Press Next to install everything (this may take a few minutes).
16. Once installed, Open Cygwin to be presented with a terminal window.
    
17. Run startx to open a new X11-enabled terminal window.
    
18. In the new window, connect to the computer you would like to by using ssh -Y [username]@[hostname] – The “-Y” is required.
19. Once connected, you’ll be able to run any X-based gui applications in your Cygwin window.
