In the Mojave time-frame the xorg server was updated from 1.18 to 1.20. Performance for xterm scrolling tanked. It was unusable. I complained on macports-users on April 1st 2019. There was a thread about it and Christopher Jones created a xorg-server-1.18 port, which made things better for me.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">When I upgrade to Catalina, the xorg-server-1.18 port stopped working. I also had big problems getting Full Disk Access working for the X11 apps I was running. So, I switched to VNC to Linux.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In my opinion, X11 support has been going downhill for a long time. Since at least Yosemite. You MacPorts guys are doing a great job, but I wish Apple would pitch in more. It sounds like Jeremy H. knows exactly what to do, but Apple won’t commit to the work.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
