Xorg is not Linux only. However, the Xorg evdev driver is Linux only because the evdev kernel interface only exists on linux. If Solaris or *BSD or anyone else ever adopt the evdev kernel interface, then the driver will have to be suitably abstracted for portability. Until then, it's Linux only. -- Dan _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
