n 1984 or thereabouts. Of course, in 1996, XFree86 would have ignored any such interfaces, in its insane quest for operating system independent user space drivers requiring no standard kernel interfaces (it is the second part of this where the true insanity lay).

Not at all. We're pursuing two courses of action right now, that are not mutually exclusive. Jon Smirl's argument is that we can satisfy both needs simultaneously with a GL only strategy, and that doing two is counter productive, primarily on available resource grounds. My point is that I don't

Certainly replicating OpenGL 2.0's programmability through Render makes no sense at all to me (or most others, I believe/hope). If you want to use full use of the GPU, I'm happy to say you should be using OpenGL. - Jim On Tue, 2005-08-30 at 23:33 -0700, Allen Akin

alue: the interesting question is should there be general kernel facilities to make this easy (we did it via ugly hacks on VAX and MIPS boxes) for kernel facilities to provide. "X is an exercise in avoiding system calls". I think I said this around 1984-1985.

t pages is a very good idea on most embedded systems. Getting the pages back is a (relatively) cheap operation: no disk seeks, some joules spent on decompression (if on CRAMFS or other compressed file system). There is an interesting question on such devices as to whether you are better off dropping
