If I'm wrong assuming this, then my question is wrong ;-)
Things have been made 64-bit when there's a reason a 64-bit version is useful. In the case of Xorg, it's because if you have enough money, you can buy things like this: http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2008/11/10/nvidia_unveils_4gb_graphics_card/ (and before that particular one, you could run into the 32-bit memory limit with various multi-card configurations as well). -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
