Revision as of 01:35, 20 February 2008
is it possible to add Kdrive (tinyX) to the road map? i know Gentoo has Kdrive to it could be possible.
I thought Kdrive is a part of xorg nowdays? Is kdrive still maintained? There are no fb support in kernel either at the moment. I do have plans to get xorg working but i have not prioritized it. Might be after 1.8 stable release. --Ncopa 08:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Well I will volunteer for trying to compile tinyX (aka Kdrive) it will take me a while since i'm not used to Gentoo.
I will create a account damvcoool.
