in prinzipal that is the way it should be but this is not quite true as X utilizes user-space (SUID-ROOT) drivers quite a lot - so even though X is in its on VM it is fiddling with low level resources that are normally under kernel control (i.e. sti/cli). So this is actually the same problem in Linux as you noted for QNX. hofrat ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
