X11, Window Managers Over the past couple of months, and especially over the past couple of weeks, I've been working very hard to write and complete my thesis. I performed all the work on Windows 7, but now that the thesis is finally done, submitted, and accepted, I installed Ubuntu - and immediately I was reminded of why I do not do any serious work on Linux: the train wreck that is X.org.

So? fglrx is developped by the X / compiz team? Don't mix all that and fire on the ambulance...
I did use X with a triple screen on 2 graphic card and I don't experience any crash at all.
You want X to reload when a driver crash? What for? to crash again? And yes THE big problem in Linux is that vendor don't provide (except Nvidia) good drivers oss or not.

So the vendors are the bad guys because software cannot gracefully recover from a driver failure?
