X11.app is Apple Computer's implementation of the X Window System for Mac OS X. Apple's implementation of X11 is based on XFree86 and adds support for hardware accelerated 2D graphics, hardware OpenGL acceleration and integration with Aqua, the Mac OS X graphical user interface (GUI). X11.app was initially available as a downloadable public beta for Mac OS X v10.2 and later included as a standard package in Mac OS X v10.3. In Mac OS X v10.4, installation is optional.
As of 2006, Apple's X11.app implemented X11 protocol release 6.6 (X11R6.6). This implementation includes an XFree86 4.6 based X11 window server, Quartz rootless window manager, libraries, and basic utilities such as xterm.[1] "Rootless" means that X window applications show up on the Quartz desktop, appearing like any other windowed Quartz application.
The source code for X11.app is available from Apple under the Apple Public Source License.
