Xorg deleted support for many video cards and support for older X11 apps
(Xcb is NOT compatible: it's cache scheme that is supposed to be "the
reason" admits its cache is broken). they deleted Xlib but stole most
code doing that. also: the move to make GL broken and side with CL ?
continual hacks also break Xt, Xm, (i have yet to see if installing
multiple versions helps - but is there an old Xt version 1.foo for new
Xorg? likely no)
But now Xorg is moving to wayland (they havent said so but i smell it).
Debain to "Unity" (another X rewrite). and Apple - they will continue
to use Japan G7 and do similar changes: all adds up to. all USA code
deleted (copy lefted though) and no hardware except ones "key holders"
approved. debian says X is insecure because any X app can talk to X:
but their "fix" is so that only ubantu "maintainer" software can do
"certain things" (likely, change IP and etc), no one else ! that's the
worst kind of security and also doesn't fix anything.
a few improvements yes Xorg. but what is the price and agenda ? and who
in the world is funding it ?
= all software that's working up in flames , by plan
= every year a hardware pc/cell requires it's own hardware
and breaks all software but the vendors - who happen to
come out unscathed
someone out there (not johannes) knows exactly what i'm talking about
= only news wares out there are designed failures and obstructions
they give you a few new wigets - they take away all your $$$ and
human rights
