This already exists, it's just not bundled with X.Org due to the different license - TigerVNC uses current Xorg sources to build both Xvnc and a vnc.so loadable extension module that are compatible with current servers and extensions. http://www.tigervnc.com/ > 2) Low priority: Dynamic runtime loadable and unloadable drivers.

Graphics is harder, but do you really have systems where you're often hotplugging PCI-E cards while the system is running? (Yes, I know about USB-connected DisplayLink devices, but most work around hotplugging those has been configuring them as separate X seats/sessions, not incorporating them into a running server.) -- -Alan Coopersmith- [email protected] Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
