For other platforms and embedded systems, there is a variety of different solutions. X11 design is dated and clunky. Yes it still works, but the concepts and the implementation are out of touch with today's use cases. So people keep hacking at it, trying to somehow improve it, however modern applications need a modern graphics stack. I would prefer for X11 to be frozen in time and be used as a simple 2D graphics engine. Applications like CDE (Common Desktop Environment) can still be used on my old Sun Ultra 10, because they keep it simple and don't try to render anything fancy. ------------------------------------------ illumos: illumos-discuss Permalink: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T0d2b921a75184a64-M244815e9c0395d16a134f54f Delivery options: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
