The current version of XQuartz is a DDX (Device Dependent X ) included in the X.Org Server and implements support for hardware-accelerated 2D graphics (in versions prior to 2.1), hardware OpenGL acceleration and integration with Aqua, the macOS graphical user interface (GUI). Some source code is available under the Apple Public Source License while the bulk is licensed under the MIT License. The source code for X11 is available from Apple. In Mac OS X Leopard, X11 was updated to use X.Org Server (X11R7.2) rather than XFree86. "Rootless" means that X window applications show up on the Quartz desktop, appearing like any other windowed Quartz application (that is, not in a virtual desktop contained within another window). This implementation includes an XFree86 4.4 based X11 window server, Quartz rootless window manager, libraries, and basic utilities such as xterm. In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Apple's X11 implemented X11 protocol release 6.6 (X11R6.6).
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion installed X11.app by default, but from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on Apple dropped dedicated support for X11.app, with users being directed to the open source XQuartz project (to which Apple contributes) instead. In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger X11.app was an optional install included on the install DVD. But there must be a simpler was initially available as a downloadable public beta for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar and later included as a standard package for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. The representative told me the only advice he could give me was to erase and install everything on the computer. Making me download XQuartz to run an application from the Mac App Store is not "it just works." Not to mention the inability to uninstall. They said they support no third-party applications, which I understand, but the representative I spoke didn't even understand what I was trying to tell him about this having apparently been an Apple technology in the past and it being the OS itself that prompted me to install it. Given that XQuartz has something to do with graphics, I wondered if it could be the culprit. I compared it side by side with a MacBook Pro running Lion, and things like switching spaces and scrolling are not blurry at all compared to my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. The reason I'd like to uninstall XQuartz is that I've noticed everything in Mountain Lion with motion is blurry. These are the instructions, but they seem to only specifically mention Snow Leopard w/ regard to a complete uninstall: I downloaded it and installed it, and I would like to uninstall it now, but the only instructions I can find to do so are for former OS versions. In Mountain Lion, I downloaded Bean's Quest Final from the Mac App Store, and when I tried opening it, it said it required XQuartz.
