What about third-party drivers (like nVidia)? Will they run with these new libraries? What about performance? And how would people deal with building X software outside of the ports tree? Is there a test suite available? I don't want to make this a bike shed (though I'm afraid that it will probably become one, unfortunately). What I know is that a functional X is very important to a large number of users. I use FreeBSD as my desktop system, and would hate to have to install Linux because of a lack of a functional X. I've done it before, and it's not a pretty experience.=20 Thanks in advance for your response. And I apologize if this seems like an attack.
