Phoronix: Luc Calls For A Dead Linux Desktop If Keith Gets His Way
While X Server 1.10 is not being discussed at length until tomorrow (the final day of XDS Toulouse), besides today's notes, Luc Verhaegen who formerly was with Novell working on the RadeonHD driver and has also worked on the open-source VIA Unichrome driver and a few other X related projects, is preparing for another heated battle...

As a programmer myself (and a linux user), de-modularization X would be the dumbest thing ever to do!

Actually if the bindings are there you shouldn't see much of a performance difference in using Python for the Logic portion.
Reminds me of Visual Basic Direct3D samples back a few years. Everybody was sold that Visual Basic was too slow to do Direct3D when in fact it just made calls to the Libraries.
I'm surprised they're not using code-generation more these days. How many ways are there to initialize registers and activate latches?
InitVideo("Trident")
def InitVideo ( card ) :
ClockLimits()
IDentifiers()
Initialization()

I seriously believe the same applies here. Constant changing of the codebase is just going to push the features and fixes way out another two years. KMS really didn't solve anything that couldn't have been fixed in X. We don't need a boot splash. Vesa was handling that nicely.
Apple built Quartz in a few years time. Maybe one of the guys over there could step in and start a new initiative. Quartz is essential built on top of FREE/NET:BSD. So the frameworks may be easy to implement.
I found this interesting...

Ofcourse; everybody can question things, but it's the way how one questions things. If you're figuratively out to suck the blood beneath people fingernails, so to speak, then be prepared for a dejavu.
