xorg-server @1.20.11_1: Problem displaying x11 windows in Tahoe
| Reported by: | fvaccari | Owned by: | jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia) |

Description
After updating to Tahoe, x11 windows don't show up/refresh properly. A simple gs of a PostScript file leads to a completely black window. Resizing the window updates its content, often with glitches. Same problems using gv or other third-party x11-based apps.

I can also confirm that this issue is fixed with the release of macOS 26.5. I tested it with xdot, xschem, and KLayout launched in the IIC-OSIC-TOOLS container executed by podman.

I just tested the display of PostScript files with gs and the refresh problem I had in Tahoe is apparently solved thanks to macOS 26.5. See release notes in:

and see also the recent comments in:

I must say that the same .ps files visualized with gv appear with a wrong aspect ratio, but this may possibly be a different issue. In any case no refresh problem in gv either.
Give it a try if you faced the refresh issue with some X11 apps.
