If you wish to switch to OpenBSD for X Window system, then you might wish to revisit your decision, as the focus of OpenBSD is not "pretty-fancy-UI-that-just- works". Plus, X Window system is inherently flawed from the security point of view, so not many OBSD developers are inclined to add more X support. AFAIK, DRI is not supported on OpenBSD as of now. -Amarendra _______________________________________________ bsd-india mailing list [email protected] http://www.bsd-india.org/mailman/listinfo/bsd-india
