I was wondering why video drivers are not part of the kernel like every
other piece of hardware. I would think if video drivers were part of the
kernel and had a nice API for X or any other windowing system, would not
only improve performance but would allow competing windowing systems

So, if the kernel had a card specific module that just knew enough
to put the card back into text mode, or if it
X. I could also argue
that if video was moved into the kernel in that manner, stability would
decrease, but performance could be dramatically increased.

This is a big topic. I think I can contribute a whole two cents worth
though...
Interesting to note that NT's windowing system moved from being originally
in userland to inside the kernel between V3.? and 4.0. Remember mom saying

Both options cause political troubles. Currently the X server is
shared with OS/2 and other crummy systems. If the Linux kernel had
serious video drivers for PC hardware, then driver support for the
other operating systems would
ssure hooks though.

See linux/drivers/video and linux/drivers/char/drm in kernel 2.4.

I was wondering why video drivers are not part of the kernel like every
other piece of hardware. I would think if video drivers were part of the
kernel and had a nice API for X or any other windowing system, would not
only improve performance but would allow competing windowing systems
