Re: [Fink-users] x11 fullscreen with leopard

[David A. <al...@cs...>]

good old linux.  i don't miss it with x11 fullscreen, but i certainly
would have to looking into using parallel if i couldn't use fullscreen...

so, let me get this straight, i can use my tiger version of x11 on 
leopard?  is this right?  how do i update my tiger to leopard without 
mangling my current version of x11?  won't upgrading the developers tools 
replace x11?

thanks alex,
dave
