1000-page developer documention. Yup. That's the approach to most things in Linux these days. fontconfig, Xft, udev, HAL, all screaming out loud POWER USERS: VANISH! THIS OS IS FOR DEVELOPERS AND UNDEMANDING IDIOT USERS ONLY! With so-called configuration files actually being program source code, often mangled into a non-programing language (XML) mess, and the mostly non-existent documention hidden within developer documention (as is the case with gtk, although with proper configuration files). The best configuration file is the concise and self-documenting one. -- In 1995, Linux was almost a bicycle; an alternative way of live to the Windows petrol beasts that had to be taken to the dealer for service. By 2008, Linux has bloated into a gas-guzzler, and local vendors and artisans have had to yield to "all under one roof" big box hypermarkets. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
