Fedora Prepares For Xorg Instead of XFree86

ZuperDee writes "I noticed in the development branch of Fedora today that they appear to be in the process of creating new xorg RPMs, and from the looks of the changelogs in those RPMs, it looks like their ultimate plan is to switch from XFree86 to the XOrg Foundation's implementation of X11. Anyone else here think this could signal the beginning of a new trend in Linux distributions, and that XOrg could end up becoming the new de-facto X11 implementation?" (See this earlier story,too.)

i have an sblive. mandrake 9 detected it and had it working without and intervention from me ( winxp didn't work out of the box ). so your either lieing or you have dodgy hardware which boot loader, respond to what keyboard comannds? I've never had trouble like that even on old hardware I run a pathology lab off samba, it prints just fine. if your mouse is freezing, and all these other problems i suspect either your full shit and a troll, or your pc has serious hardware issues.

Time to move on, eh?
X works well for me.
But let me guess... ... your computer isn't just used for surfing porn and running Setiathome; you've already started coding a replacement, right?

Except you're talking bollocks

"Developed too long ago" - Bullshit
"Widgets and toolkits part of the server" - Bullshit
"X has outlived the usefulness of its design. It's time to move on" - Bullshit

Basically you're talking out of your arse.
