What > effect would that have on X? I thought about that. In fact, I implemented something along the line but threw it away because 1) I was not sure of its expected behavior, 2) it is intertwined with syscons and I was afraid of breaking it, 3) it just hides Xserver problem (i.e., mixed uses of static/auto configurations) from an OS driver, 4) it does not provide fix for release users, 5) possible POLA violations, etc. Jung-uk Kim
