While it may arguably > be more civil and the current BSD-du-jour bickering, it's I just don't really like working under the XFree86 umbrella and I did contribute all my work to XFree86. My mission at the time was to provide workstation like performance in the *bsd arena. XFree86 had other goals on mind, later on they changed their mind. It is a bit long and complicated and I don't care to drag it out. One thing I wish to point, is that from the very beginning Rich Murphy and I divided the X work for 386bsd. I step out to provide XS3 and Rich stayed with the XFree86 as core team member. So we pursued two avenues a more solid release XFree86 and XS3 not as stable as XFree86 but good enough as a proof of concept. This approach kept XFree86 in check and the result with the help from many netters is XFree86-2.0. Jon Tombs did a ton of work in the S3 portion of the server and until recently him and I corresponded. Currently, I am investigating other very exciting technologies. Trust me some of the politics going on with XFree86 I really hate;however, I found a vehicle to work with them. And for the record, I am not supporting XFree86 nor do I run XFree86 (so send e-mail to the XFree86 team when support is required), I will merely repeat what I am saying here.
