To switch to a technical question What are the differences between XOrg's monolithic tree and freedesktop.org's modular trees? Are they basically the same code apart from the (large) configuration differences, or is one behind/ahead of the other regarding drivers, core functionality, etc.? For instance, I know that XOrg has basically all the XFree86 4.4 functionality in it (they're advertising it). I have no idea whether the modular freedesktop.org trees have the same collection of code merged in (or whether they intend to). (I hope so.) Any idea? -- Make sure your vote will count. http://www.verifiedvoting.org/
