It was a bit different. You said, for agreeing to do the project, you want to see more commitment. As you did not define what you meant (or I overlooked it) the entire thing died. If you permit me to, remind you, I had been very enthusiastic about it. Even though it basically destroys my hoped small "business opportunity" of hopefully selling 3 or ,4 Xorg ddx's. If somebody want's to check the archives, then feel free. If Sun releases Xsun's src, then I am in the boat. Exactly as I have stated back then. %martin _______________________________________________ xwin-discuss mailing list [email protected] List info: http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/xwin-discuss Unsubscribe: http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/options/xwin-discuss
