Look at the KGI (Kernel Graphics Interface) project http://kgi-wip.sourceforge.net/ Although they aren't looking to make X the standard interface it's something around what you're thinking about. However, there is a very good reason WHY the standard interface is still the console, the fact that most UNIX computers are probably still being used for servers rather than workstations. Adding a GUI to a server is a pointless consumption of resources in most cases. -- Ryan Sommers ryans@gamersimpact.com
