Ubuntu Working Towards A Rootless X Server

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the benefits of kernel mode-setting on 
| Linux besides providing a flicker-free boot 
| experience, faster and better VT switching, 
| and a cleaner architecture is that it removes 
| a requirement against the X.Org Server from 
| needing to be run as root. With Ubuntu 10.04 
| LTS now utilizing kernel mode-setting across 
| Intel / ATI and AMD / NVIDIA graphics 
| hardware, they are looking to make the X 
| Server run as a normal user in upcoming 
| releases.

X.Org Project Has Five New Summer Projects

,----[ Quote ]
| Back in March we talked about the possible
| X.Org projects this year during Google's
| Summer of Code, for which X.Org is a
| veteran participant (in the past items like
| the ATI R300 Gallium3D driver and generic
| GPU video decoding have been tackled), but
| the list of accepted projects for this
| summer have now been announced. Gallium3D
| H.264 video decoding, an OpenGL 3.2 state
| tracker, and porting of the DRM code to
| GNU/Hurd were among the talked about
| possibilities, but none of those will be
| addressed as part of GSoC 2010.
