Leopard X11 on multiple monitors fix

The X11 that comes with Leopard seems to not work across multiple monitors. The following is a fix given to me by James Jackson, a PhD student here...


cp /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz ~/Documents/Xquartz-backup
curl -LO http://people.freedesktop.org/~bbyer/x11app/xorg-server-1.2a10/Xquartz-1.2a10.bz2
bunzip2 Xquartz-1.2a10.bz2
sudo install -b Xquartz-1.2a10 /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz
curl -LO http://people.freedesktop.org/~bbyer/x11app/libX11.6.dylib.bz2
bunzip2 libX11.6.dylib.bz2
sudo install -b libX11.6.dylib /usr/X11/lib
curl -LO http://cloud.cs.berkeley.edu/~jeremy/X11/X11.bz2
bunzip2 X11.bz2
sudo install -b X11 /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/
