Just as a note.. Xquartz is going to have RANDR capabilities in Xquartz 2.6.0, thanks to the work of Jeremy Huddleston and Jan Hauffa. Right now on Macports if you install xorg-server-devel it will be a build with what is currently in of RandR... its still not totally finished, but it would be nice if some Mac Users could test how it works so far with Wine... if we find bugs now, it could help lead to a better initial release :-) for those that don't know... RANDR will allow you to have fullscreen/rootless and resolution switching correctly. While it seems to be working rather well for me in a X11 way.. Wine isn't too happy with quartz-wm window manager.. or something between them, so best to turn off window decoration. xrandr is also working better than Wine is... and I'm not sure if some of the issues are with Wine or with Xquartz

well I can get it actually working with OSX 10.6 ... but 10.5, it wont work at all for me... even on 10.6 where it "works" ... it still has problems and white screens and multitasking problems... most of the problem is just between rootless and fullscreen switching. if its a game launched in fullscreen and always run in fullscreen, it usually works good, though some games aren't able to pick up available resolutions right... yet others do.
