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 don't know when it is coming out, but I know that XFT 2 will be included, which includes native AA support and stuff. I think Mozilla will support the new library out of the box.
However, the new XFT library will be incompatible with both KDE 3 and Gnome 2, so these projects they will need to add support for the new font library in their future versions, in order to get native AA support.
