Maybe you know about > it but well just in case.. :-) I didn't know about your page, but I knew most of the stuff on your page. I have been reading that DDX guide, but I didn't know where to find the "Strategies of Porting guide", it didn't come with the X sources AFAIK. I still prefer reading it in ASCII on screen, do you know where I can find an untroffed version of it? By the way, I have access to the XFree86 4.0 alpha (beta?) sources since I'm member of the XFree86 crew. > Although an X11 port seems at first sight quite difficult--in case > someone has a valuable ammount of information about--it seems > to be quiete easy. Full support would never be easy, and I'm not heading for that in the beginning, although it would be faster, I would probably end up with nothing at all in the end.. > Unfortunately, I cannot personally offer any other help in due of a > project I have to work during the period April-June at INRIA.
