It appears that the MOX extension, is a proprietary X11 extension which only exists in that company's X server (Tech Source), at least that's what I see when I read that webpage. It has not ever been part of the official X11 standard, nor part of the X.org sample implementation nor XFree86 implementation at least to my knowledge, and as far as I can see from that webpage at least, it is not open source and never was. It has not been deprecated from XFree86, because it would have had to at one point been included in XFree86 in order to deprecate it, and it wasn't, so that's not possible. ;o) Keith Packard has been working on various X extensions lately on freedesktop.org, including the XFIXES extension, DAMAGE extension, and COMPOSITE extension, bits of which provide similar functionality in the freedesktop.org kdrive xserver to what MOX appears to do. This functionality is not available (yet at least) in XFree86 core X server, however it's theoretically possible that someone could port Keith's extensions to the XFree86 DDX in the future, once they're considered feature complete and ready. You may wish to investigate the freedesktop.org experimental X server, to see how the current development compares to MOX. It might be interesting to discuss any suggestions for improvement, etc. on the xserver mailing list on fd.o also, as things are in development and not locked in stone currently, and feedback is always appreciated by developers. Hope this helps. -- Mike A. Harris _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
