hi all, I'm having a wish to make the booting and rebooting/halting of desktop un*ces nicer... So for xfree it's basically a two things: - fade-in/out possibly with a delay (so everything is drawn when in-fading starts) - maybe a way that X can run (from memory only) till the actual reboot/halt. I think these features can polish the look/feel of desktop un*ces a lot. What do you think of these ideas? Please let me know if it's possible/ feasable... I also would like to point out a project called systemservices by seth: http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/2003/Sep/27 http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=4711 This project will use a multithreaded init-like program that can be used to start X ASAP. Then X can be used to communicate the boot process info (the starting of the services) to the 'end-'user. (Please note that this is only for desktops) Regards, Cies. P.S.: I'm also looking into the possibility of having LILO/GRUB fade-in/out... _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
