It is a toy project of a +display server with an architecture resembling that of a +microkernel. + +The reason for having a display server architectured as a +microkernel is so that components of the display server +can be replaced online. That is, when you install a newer +version of the display server you can start running the +new version without having to restart the display server. +Moreover, it allows you to replace components with your +own versions or add new components, with exception of +parts that need the setuid flag set. + +Is this vaporware? Probably I often bored with graphical +projects. Graphics sucks. + |
