XQuartz的一些问题_wizard_新浪博客

It's very convenient to use  Xserver for accessing Unix server applications. Unfortunately, the Mac OS  doesn't provide Xserver any longer now. So,  Mac users must install XQuartz as a Xserver to keep this working style. But the XQuartz has lots of weird behaviors that annoy us often. This article records solutions to some malfunctions of it.

1. The slow repainting speed.
