Date: Tue, 21 Nov 1995 07:44:27 EDT From: "Kaleb S. KEITHLEY" Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk No, apparently not. I notice that the GENERIC config in 2.1.0R had option XSERVER commented out. Yet a (very) cursory look at the kernel sources shows that XSERVER is still used and pcvt* is built differently when it's defined. (The X server did run on the GENERIC kernel just long enough build my own kernel. I didn't try switching VTs though.) Can I suggest that the kernel use the opposite logic, i.e. assume there will be an X server and build accordingly? And for those who don't run X there should be an option NOXSERVER. If I did the work would it be accepted and incorporated into the next release? -- Kaleb KEITHLEY X Consortium
