,--- You/Robert (Thu, 29 Jan 2009 08:40:11 -0500) ----* | I've had patches available for probably a couple of months now posted to | freebsd-x11@. For the few people who tested it, I had no real issues | reported. We were stalled for a long time, While X kept moving, so the | amount of change was large. This update also brings in support for a | lot of people who are running newer hardware. | | I realize that there are some issues with the mouse driver... I'm | trying to look at and resolve, but I don't really know input drivers, so | I doing a lot of guess work. On top of that I do have a day job, so | time is limited. Understood. Would you have spent more time if the new X was introduced as two (?) new ports: xorg-server-devel and libxcb-devel. Is X less complicated, less dangerous, less "user-binding" than firefox or emacs? -- Alex -- alex-goncharov@comcast.net --
