Not so. Wine should build with Tiger.  Functionality on the other hand is questionable.

This is an outragous lie. XQuartz 2.5.3 IS available for Leopard.  I have it and downloaded it from the site.  Xrandr functionality may or may not work properly with Leopard.

If you want xrandr and other functions, this is true.  

Wine builds and runs on Leopard/Snow Leopard.  Some functions, such as full screen and desktop windows may experience problems with Leopard.
