The thing i've kicked around from time to time is building the X server as a library. I.e. i want to mess with the card directly, I realize that there's a lot of value in the x server as regards hardware control, but i want direct access with no IPC in the middle. If i had the x server as libxserver.a then i could hijack the server and make it do something else. You would mainly want to toss the X IPC protocol stuff. ron Ron Minnich |" Microsoft Word: It does so little and it does rminnich@sarnoff.com | it so slowly" -- Maya Gokhale (609)-734-3120 | ftp://ftp.sarnoff.com/pub/mnfs/www/docs/cluster.html
