Original OSNews Interviews 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.

If all you have is pixels, and you have an imaginary videocard that can accelerate, let's say, font rendering - how are you going to take advantage of that? You'd have to create an extention, and make sure all libraries that use fonts use that extention.

Repeat that for every advance in graphics hardware. Painful.
