That hs been discussed a number of times on various mailing lists and forums. You should really politely take up that decision up with the Xorg folks. Complaining on here isn't going to do any good (though, very likely, complaining on the Xorg mailing list won't either, but at least that's a more applicable place). <snip> > I'm not expecting you to do this.

For the most part, they are all using Linux, not FreeBSD. They either use Linux because they want to or, for quite a few developers, because hardware vendors pay them to. AMD and Intel pay open source developers to write Linux drivers and to improve the Xorg stack for their linux users. Thankfully we have someone like Robert who is working so hard on trying to maintain a level playing field. Adam
