Not on my box. Nothing like it. Although to answer that question with a definitive example ELKS (a Linux like 8086 kernel in 64K) has IP demux in kernel space and tcp in user space. The v7 NCP stack also had much of the protocol in user space. So its a perfectly valid argument to build such hybrid systems for display management too ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
