This issue of Linux not thinking across layers is pervasive.
I wouldn't say so... the kevent <=> hal <=> dbus <=> application chain spans the entire 'stack' and does so in a maintainable (modular with well defined interfaces), and generally RightTM way. Ditto for the entirety of freedesktop.org. The Linux (and larger FOSS) community has been actively thinking across layers (in the implied sense) for several years at least. It might be more accurate to say that, as the capability and flexibility of our software and hardware platforms increases, we've encountered new usage scenarios, and new problems. Who would have needed hotplug before USB? .01% of computer users? That said, we certainly have our share of legacy code that could make great use of all this fancy new infrastructure. --tim _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
