It also excludes OS X, which despite having "X11 support" isn't really what you mean by "supports X11". at some point, focusing on X11 will also start to exclude the next generation of linux UI systems which are not going to be X11 (even though they are re-using a lot of the internal code and can host X11 windows). once you've seen them in action, i think that even you will be a believer :) I'm talking primarily about Wayland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_%28display_server_protocol%29 it also excludes GL based systems, which to be perfectly honest appear to be have been a MUCH better starting point if you writing a GUI at any point in the last 12 years than X. i deeply regret not basing ardour on a toolkit that sat on top of GL rather than X11 - GL is more portable, and has lots of nice features that don't show up in a lot of programs but are real nonetheless. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
