X Might Be Ready For IPV6
makapuf writes "According to linuxtoday, the X Consortium has published enhancement proposals to let X and IPV6 interoperate. This is surely a relief for the masses here that longed for X support for IPV6. Or the contrary? The proposal can be found here."

Maybe not FP... :)
Well... next one.
Once they add IPv6 support, maybe then they will fix the flaw in xfs that causes X to segfault on my computer all the time.

Hint: the srcpp buffer contains a name of a font and the buffer allocation is shorter than 1024 bytes-- thus causing the segfault.

Thanks for you post. I would never have guessed i would be this involved in this. I turned on Oprah last week, and saw this evil, and i just went ballistic.
What did it to me is "Uncle Curt". I see RIGHT THROUGH his little charade. and frankly, he made the WRONG guy angry with his BS.
Many many men believe in protecting children. As a matter of fact, that might be the definition of a real man. My male friends would lay down their life without thinking to protect their families.
But of course, there are men who are evil, and sexual abusers. Frankly, I am these guys worst nightmare. They are COWARDS, hiding in the shadows, full of lies, and deceit, and corruption. My own father was like this, and i saw to it that legal justice was served on him.
I was involved in the promotion of Unicefs Convention on the Rights of the Child. But i stopped being involved for some years now. But after this nightmare, i am back at it, and will soon align myself with an organization, and do my part to contribute.
Truly, the passivity, and denial being preached by those who want to sell this stuff is EVIL POISON. It truly is the banality of evil. This "Child Erotica Relationship Marketing Wonderland", is one of the worst abuses of the internet. It truly is.
It can't be allowed to continue like this. If one country can reign it in, others will follow, but some will not. but it must be beaten back as far as possible. One day soon, some powerful people will tune into this, and things will happen.
As the experts say, a pedophiles life is consumed with rationalizing his own behavior. As Uncle Curt so clearly says,
"We... sort of have our own way of talking and looking at things. It's an attitude. It's a way of life."
XXX Consortium has already fixed up all their porno servers for IPv6.

Personally I think a 3D GUI would be much more productive. GUI^3 > GUI^2...
Of those posts recommending the replacement of X, approximately one-half will mention the Windowing System Formerly Known as Berlin, one-quarter will babble aimlessly about the Linux framebuffer, and the remainder will offer no alternative, but merely observe that network transparency is unnecessary, giving their lack of need for this feature as the reason (e.g. "ive never neieded 2 use xwindows over the network, y would any1 ellse!!??").
This has to be one of the funnier things I've seen lately.

Just becuase some PC technician at "The Wiz" can't see the sense in ipv6 doesn't mean Nortel networks and Lucent don't have a use for it.
That's likely where IPv6 will be relegated, and even there, 128 bits is arguably a big, fat waste.
What it will not become is an end-to-end addressing scheme as originally designed, it's just not the best solution or even close to it.

If that's all you need, go play with DirectFB. It's even 3D accelerated if set up correctly, and has GNOME working.
