One of the reasons why there was not a modularized source tree in XFree86 was that it was not allowed to happen. No? So XFree86 never could have it, while Xorg now does. And this lead to XFree86 development being harder than Xorg. To me this is a differnce, a major difference, regardless which version of Xorg has it. > (Although the former doesn???t have a modularized tree.) Did I not say that? Does XFree86 have a modularized source tree? No. Does Xorg 6.9 have a modularized source tree? No. Does Xorg 7.0+ have a modularized source tree? Yes. > > That means: if you want a monolithic X-server, you can have one with Xorg too. So its possible to have a monolithic Xorg X server. Debian does not package one. Who does?
