XFree86 Fork Gets a Name, Website

Piethein Strengholt writes "Today the Xfree86 fork is a fact. A new project has started and is located at: xouvert.org. Xouvert has been started due to the corporate structure and the slow development of XFree86. They hope to reduce the risk to XFree86 of incorporating new drivers and features."

    Yeah, bud, while you're posting on this US-hosted, US-funded, US-English Web site you may want to consider that a US viewpoint might carry some weight here.

    However, when you go to those immensely powerful European versions of Slashdot you might see other opinions represented with more strength. Now which Web sites would those be?

  11. command to shut off a flakey mouse without Xcrash? by ratfynk · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    A good idea would be to create a version of X that could shut off a flakey desktop mouse config that crashs X. Both Gnome and KDE becoming so mouse dependant is also a pain in the arse. Funny I can still navigate, albeit slowly in Win98 with out a mouse and not crash out.

    Will they use gdm for /etc/X11/XF86config, or will they take the sensible route to create a decent platform independant Xconfig? If they do create a decent sensible Xconfig that can quickly reconfig X all the more power to them. The ability to easily reconfig a flakey mouse would be great. What I hate about Redhat is that they took out good old Pico best of the easy to use editors, and have made installing to boot without X a pain in the ass. Jerks, and I have paid for RedHat in the past never again though. Thank you I will stick to Slack. I hope someone does finally write a killer X configuration tool. Slack is still the best that remains close to sensible.

    Linus is pronunced LIE-nuhs. Linux is pronounced LIE-nucks.

    Why the FUCK would you pronounce Linux as LINN-icks? Is it spelled Linix? NO! That's just wrong. Just because 80% or so of the tards say it that way doesn't make it right. If you were Finnish it would be LEAN-ucks (Linus' pronunciation).

    What the hell is so hard to understand about French pronunciation? I took French in high school and so should everyone else. It's not that difficult of a langauge given that it's very similar to Spanish and Italian. Sorry, but the "Zoo-vair" pronunciation sounds much nicer than "Ex-Oh". And "qua-saunh" sounds a hell of a lot nicer than Crassandwiches. (Note that CRASS is a big part of American "kulture".) Open your mind and realize that there is a whole other world out there that's been around a lot longer then the blasted U.S.A. Maybe you can learn a thing or two. Let's start with learning a little something about aesthetics.

  14. Re:For those who don't know... by Wolfier · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    French...what a redundant language...I've studied Latin and found that while other derivatives of Latin (Spanish, Italian, Portugese) simplifies the language somewhat, French is actually a step backward.

    Especially in the pronunciation department. (English is not much better, but alas, at least it has the excuse that it borrows from 1000 other languages)

    No wonder why the French spends so much time making up rules protecting the language (e.g. banning government use of "email"). Because it simply has no chance of survival in the battlefield of languages.
