Did anyone notice this? http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php?id=568003838&fp=16&fpid=0 I don’t think X is going away as it has a powerful infrastructure and throwing it away would be stupid. And its network transparency is good. It’s likely that X will be the 2D interface to a lower-level graphics system that is based on OpenGL. The Linux desktop wants to have 3D as the base and X as the interface to 2D. The fact that X and kernel development have been separate is good; one could evolve without the other but DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure) has made them not completely independent. As a developer, having the two separate is good, because different people are good at developing for each. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl-/[email protected] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
