Why do they have to be anywhere besides the X chapter? They're certainly not relevant outside of X. The reason that everything is all split up for Xorg is the client-server nature of X. The headers are in separate packages because they define the protocol between the client and server (and the datatypes used). They are equally relevant to the server or libraries. Without a defined protocol on both sides, X doesn't work. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
