As distro maintainer I hated monolitic X. It's was nightmare to patch it and fix some build issues.

And when it is fixed you would have to wait until new xorg release or play dirty games with including driver again. With modular drivers you just take new tarball. -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz PLD/Linux Team arekm / maven.pl http://ftp.pld-linux.org/ _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
