I’ve been trying to downgrade Leopard’s X11 to Tiger’s, under the introduction of Ben Byer and Tim Baur as mentioned in the last blog post, but failed. It gave me an quartz–wm controlled X11, still no full screen mode available. I tried to modify .xinitrc and org.x.X11.plist, also the preference parameterization, nothing better. I just gave up and forced myself to get used to it. One lightly good thing is that I could use Leopard’s Space function and associate X11 to an individual space. That’s all of it.
Once I faced a license problem with MATLAB, which cost me much more time than it should be to figure it out. There’s no license manager, say, lm/ folder installed, therefore I’ve noway to lmdown or lmstart. I thought there’s some files missed during installation or the installation isn’t completely successful. I uninstalled MATLAB, reinstalled it, but nothing happened. Today, I just asked someone whether the license has expired since it was passed to me. No surprise or much surprise, the answer is yes. So I’m now having the new license on and it starts working finely. It’s just that this time my MATLAB doesn’t need lm command anymore…
Whatever, my iMac is setup now, no matter how well the X11 part is functioning and that’s the whole story of couple days’ struggling. I hate it!
