Sorry, I can't parse what you wrote. You don't know where I heard that Xorg is Linux-only? Is that what you said? My understanding *had been* that Xorg was trying to be compatible with as many Unixes as possible, and specifically avoid being Linux only, which is why seeing the depth of Linuxcode that is in your flagship input driver, evdev, surprised me so. I uderstood, from Peter's mail, that I'm wrong there, and the use of Linux-only ocde in that flagship driver was deliberate. Simply really surprised me, that's all. Or were you saying maybe that I was wrong stating that evdev.c had been made Linux only? All of the inclusions from Linux's input.h, which allows the Linux events interface, prove my point well enough, I think. Or, maybe you were saying I was wrong in thinking that you folks were trying to make Xorg not be Linux only? Damn, it's hard to comment when I can't figure out what you were saying. If I was correct, why don't you just let it go, then, we don't need to air this out any more, I was just surprised. > > Cheers, > Daniel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjSfWUACgkQz62J6PPcoOl2hwCfac/CnW01X5PmCfq7vrU4m1SC ILoAn0kqIbgRgaPPpmz1cO3XX9wlOWmQ =DD4C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
