[This is my first time running this mail composing tool, tell me if it's doing something evil I don't see, ok?] I just got pointed at a URL, if you haven't, it's most likely worth your time to read this; http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=xorg_wayland&num=1 It's discussing a new X11 project, going by the name Wayland, a RedHat project. Among it's primary goals is to simplify the server, and since making things simpler (and hence more reliable) has been a lifelong primary goal of mine, I'm listening. My goal here, beyond trying to be helpful in pointing out something clearly important, is to find out of anyone has done any research with a mind towards finding out the ultimate compatibility between FreeBSD and this new Wayland. I'm always worried that a Linux-person is going to "innocently" write something that requires us to become a Linux lookalike. Has anyone got any FreeBSD info on this? Because, if I get s nice loud shot of slicne in answer to this question, I'm going to have to try to fix it. I wonder if it's just something that's going to need porting (my devout wish), or are more extreme measures going to have to be considered? Just being a worry-wart.
