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.

Nah, XFree does a good job, I just think it does too much... Currently I'm in a very strong "less is more" mood. Gtk on DirectFB is buggy and useless but still damn impressive (fast). I whish I would understand a little bit more about DirectFB. They constantly have interesting news (like the rootless X Server) but I never really get what those really are, what they do and what they don't. For example I just don't get what "rootless" X Server means.
All I know is that it supports alpha blending:
