We have the "mega-bloat" implemented in the kernel. It's the KMS/DRM thing. The compositor is a userland program.

I dont' know why people are so sad. X11 should have died long time ago. Xorg is just a big keylogger and will never be secure. KMS bought some of time for Xorg but it should be die for good. -- Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado http://juanfra.info
