Ew. My mistake, then. I hopefully assumed that when I read a while ago
that it was designed to 'replace' it, I hoped it was an improvement.
I've always managed to avoid such braindamage by using the Nvidia
TwinView drivers. But of course you need an Nvidia card and the
'nvidia' driver to do that, which on some OSen (OpenBSD springs to
mind), you can't.

I'm seriously surprised no one has written a replacement for X that
doesn't consist of a large pile of shit from various standpoints.
