I've had enough of Lycos, so I'm moving away from them. Their mail is so slow with irritating pop-up ads. The web space is OK, but produces bad HTML and irritating pop-ups. I'm migrating this blog over to the google space too.

I then used Pacifist to install the update from 10.4.3.<br> false Shaun McDonald 2006-02-03T10:19:00+00:00 2006-02-03T12:53:48Z 2006-02-03T10:30:00Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964771.post-113896260062451205 Xdarwin on Tiger for OpenOffice.org2.0



As you will see from the pictures you can run OpenOffice.org through XDarwin on Mac OS X Tiger. I would however recommend that you use Apples X11 instead as it is more up to date, is more reliable and has a nicer look and feel.

I am now left with the annoying X11 behaviour, even after reverting to my backup of the X11 files, so I take it that there is some hidden config file somewhere. Hopefully I'll be able to get the Apple X11 behaviour (windowing environment) back soon as I miss it.

A few other notes though.

You need to install X11 through your Tiger DVD. Then, if your using a machine that came out with a version of Mac OS X before 10.4.3 run the 10.4.3 updater. There are numberous reports about the fact that 10.4.4 does not contain the update for X11.

EyeTV 2 looks like a fantastic improvement over previous versions. I can't wait until I have looked out the proof of purchase coupon.
