Ok if you have seen the freedesktop pages somebody is thinking of
moving x11 to dbus. now thats totally unacceptable.
Any url with that?
But even then, i wouldn't believe it. Who ever has said that
has no understanding whatsoever what X11 and what D-Bus is.
Both are in their needs and implementations quite ortogonal.
Well, if the kernel uses DBus to notify userland of changes in the
hardware configuration, then it makes perfect sense for the X server to
listen to the kernel via DBus and update its input device configuration
accordingly.
I hope some day it will be able to extend the desktop without need of
extensive configuration and restart. Something like dynamic multi-head
(not only turn on/off pre-configured screens, but support choosing the
resolution, in a way like Windows does). And also some support for
connecting graphic output on the fly.. for the usb/ethernet graphic
cards/monitors.
If the kernel already provides hardware drivers, why should the X server
duplicate all that? I think the whole idea of X talking to the hardware
directly is ugly from an architecture point of view.
I agree.
