I can't typically make the call, but here is a status on Mac OS
X/Darwin support. Currently libGL and XDarwin do not build on Panther
(http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=897). This is a
release blocker for Mac OS X support. I have a (large) fix for this
on my own machine which just needs a bit more testing. I also plan to
update the XOrg tree with the latest XDarwin features/fixes from the
XFree86 tree. These are all confined to Xserver/hw/darwin.

I would like to ensure that in addition to any options you add to the
configuration file, you also preserve the tradition of having
switches on the command line. XDarwin does not use the standard
configuration file.

As before, you can sign me up for Mac OS X/Darwin. I typically test
on Mac OS X 10.1 - 10.3. I'll also try to get the pure open source
Darwin 7.x PPC and x86 tested as well.
