I'm planning on ditching X on my Linux-powered Zaurus. I can't code for X and it's got that horrible font-breakage which prevents me using any window manager I'd actually like, so it's going. I may well be wanting Inferno to output to the Linux framebuffer in the near future. Actually I'd really like to make my own somewhat Plan 9-like window system. It seems possible using Mesa, I'm much happier programing OpenGL than X, but it's the biggest project I've ever embarked on so I sure don't want to promise anything, even to myself. -- Ethan Grammatikidis Those who are slower at parsing information must necessarily be faster at problem-solving.
