In the last few years the graphics card and multimedia environments have grow at such a rate the current X solutions can no longer keep pace nor do they focus on producing high performance X servers specifically for linux. Also the community has demanded for specific functionality which has never come to light. This project looks to start from scratch to develope a new X enviroment that addresses these issues. I posted here because we will addressing several issues about hardware management between the kernel and the X window enevironment. Of course the X enrvironment is extremly broad so this will require skills from several areas as well as many programmers. So we welcome anyone how would like to see a alternative to the current X implemenation. If you like to subscribe to our mailing list just follow the link below.
