I don't think that this will happen anytime soon. There are way too many Linuxisms in Wayland: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=19081 But I may be wrong: they could have started moving towards other platforms recently (?). IMHO, there's much more pressing need for some really *useful* work on FreeBSD, like, say, finally getting Xen/Dom0 support. This, and ZFS, would be a killer app in data centers all around the world! ;-) Let the Linux guys get Wayland up and running smoothly enough, then we may think of porting evdev and other Linuxisms into a new compatibility shim. > matthias > -- > Matthias Apitz | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: www.asciiribbon.org > E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail > WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X - No proprietary attachments > phone: +49-170-4527211 | / \ - Respect for open standards -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
