David Dawes is maybe the most active XFree86 developer and he is also the lead founder of the project. He works for Tungsten Graphics, which is the main company working on the XFree, DRI and Mesa codebases today. We are happy to host an interview with David, discussing the present and future of XFree86 project. Update: Still confused how a VSYNCed desktop look like? Read here.

I just asked my husband (ex-Be Inc. engineer, used to work on that stuff) to share his insights about it and he told me that:
"You can't understand how it's like until you've seen it in action. I tried to explain the same issue 10 years ago when I was doing AtariST demos, and people wouldn't get it."
As for Strobe's comment, no. I believe that this feature can be added to XFree. The feature is not Quartz-specific. BeOS had it too on the version that never shipped. It just needs someone to sit down and code it. ;-)
