It's complicated. Pci-rework, through libpciaccess, cleaned a bunch of the mess that was living in our server. But that wasn't good enough. There's still some issues that don't let us remove the entirely Xorg's pci layer. And this is the point: there's a lot of pci users (VGACon, framebuffer, Xorg and possibly others) in your system fighting for the same piece of hardware. With lucky the kernel based modesetting will let the code more nice and trivial to remove more things from the server. Dave obtained a very nice demo recently starting a rootless X server. Cheers, PS: really, try to avoid a single machine to configure your multiseat box. No one needs text console in our current world. -- Tiago Vignatti C3SL - Centro de Computação Científica e Software Livre www.c3sl.ufpr.br _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
