The benefit of using xcb is mostly that it includes all of the protocol definitions in a single module. Merging the existing proto packages seems like it would have the same effect. Not that changing the server to use the xcb definitions would be bad thing. > libdrm isn't too much of a problem distribution-wise since only the > server and mesa use it.

The issue at hand here is making it easier for users to test new bits without waiting for distributions to package them; the more external dependencies present, the harder it is to build new bits. -- [email protected]
