Meaning ? How would you like to see the GUI "handled" ? Having spent the whole evening fighting X again (I will get direct rendering to work on my card if it kills me, I know it can do it...) it certainly could do with some work on it's configurational interface. But I don't know if that is what you are talking about. And yes I do see the X Window System surviving several incarnations to come. But in 10 years we will all be using Plan9 anyway... -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
