Under MacPorts 2.1.2 on Mountain Lion, after updating ports including
xdotool, I got the message:
To use xdotool (and avoid the error message "Error: XTEST extension
unavailabl on '(null)'") you need to enable the XTEST extension. If
you're using Apple's X11.app, the command to do so is:
defaults write org.x.X11 enable_test_extensions -boolean true
If you're using the MacPorts X11.app, use:
defaults write org.macports.X11 enable_test_extensions -boolean true
This only needs to be done once.
But I've directly downloaded and installed XQuartz.app rather than
Apple's X11.app. And I don't have any port named x11 from MacPorts; I do
have xorg-libX11 from MacPorts.
What should I do?
