Is that the only new functionality that KGI will bring? A graphical console? I used Debian a few times with the framebuffer enabled and it was a mess on my laptop. I couldn't even see the bottom 10 lines of the console. :) I like my text console just fine. :) Or does KGI also promise video driver interoperability between Linux and FreeBSD? That would be pretty neat, but doesn't X11 already provide this? I'm just not seeing the benefit to KGI. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
