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.

Fresco

rajan_r: I wasn't saying Berlin/fresco's development cycle was slow. It is, but considering the scope of the project I think they're doing very well. I just meant it was currently unoptimized.

Unoptimized in what sense?
Well, if you mean speed, at it's unoptimized version, it runs pretty damn fast in comparison with optimized XFree86 :-).
I think the major problem with Fresco is that it doesn't have enough developers working on it. The developers really have ideas, they really know how to make things work, but as we all know, code doesn't write itself.
