The X.Org code base has no kernel modules, as it's user-space code portable to a range of OS'es, including Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X, Windows, etc. Kernel code for graphics is mainly handled via the related DRI project, which has it's own webpages & mailing lists hosted at http://dri.freedesktop.org/ (though at this very moment, they're down like the rest of the freedesktop.org web sites, while the admins try to undo years of spam damage that had left the webservers highly unstable, but should be back up later today). -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - http://blogs.oracle.com/alanc _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: freedesktop-xorg@progressive-comp.com
