I am running R under X11 on the MAC OS X 10.4.11 and have been having
problems with X11 graphics since upgrading to  2.8.+ 


> plot(1:10)
Error in X11(d$display, d$width, d$height, d$pointsize, d$gamma, d$colortype,  :

  unable to start device X11cairo
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg,  :
  X11 protocol error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
2: In function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg,  :
  cairo error 'out of memory'
> 

I run R under emacs so the display is being set correctly and the device would
open
under previous verions.  
I am also encoutering a related problem with running R  2.8.0/2.8.1 on a
remote unix box and displaying back to the MAC, where any attempts to
open an X11() device causes R to hang.

Thanks,
Merlise Clyde
