Not to my knowledge. Contrary to what some believe, KDrive (TinyX) is a complete implementation of X11R6.5. There are three limitations of KDrive that you're likely to notice. First, it's currently Linux-only (but should not be difficult to port). Second, it doesn't have the XAA layer, which makes writing drivers for it much more tedious than for XFree86; whence the small number of drivers for it (although for many of the expected applications of KDrive the generic fbdev or vesa drivers should be enough); in addition, the KDrive drivers tend to accelerate fewer operations than their XFree86 counterparts. Third, it doesn't support the XFree86 module loader. By default, KDrive only contains some of the font backends and extensions that are available. For information about building KDrive with more renderers/extensions, please see http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/kdrive.html Regards, Juliusz Chroboczek _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
