:It has come to my attention that Xi Graphics and VMware's X servers rely
:on FreeBSD 3 compatibility. I may be completely alone in this regard,
:but I have a number of computers with graphics cards that aren't
:supported by FreeBSD's XFree86 and hence the only way to run
:FreeBSD/Dragonfly + X on them is using one of the above 2 X servers.
:Hence, it might make sense bring the old signal code back in.

    Hmm.  Well, I hate to say it, but there's a point where we have to cut
    old cruft out and I don't think we can support servers that go 
    unmaintained for that long a period of time.

    What about linux compatibility?  Is it possible to run the linux
    version?
