Indeed, but this is impossible due to the fact Xfree acts like a monolythic block of concrete that relies on networking and stuff. As long as linux gets no decent separation between accellerated drivers and an X that supports this, (see also KGI, XGGI, fbdev) this is not an option. Mind that even in XP you can't log in untill your networking is up, if you are logging on to a domain. But it sure looks 1000 x faster and more smooth. Jos
