Exactly, The X protocol (or any driver interface) should be lean, but there should be a library layer in between the clients and the protocol to hide the uglies. use libXv.so to hide the uglies and if you don't want a software fallback then you don't have to have one. -Matt _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
