Hi all,

No i will not make an other release of  X 8 bits it does 4Mb with flwriter , 
Xd640 all libs my server bandwish is like a commercial one :-) i have 10mb on 
internet

As steven said i'm interesting in BL but i also make packages for my own 
distribs who are compatible with BL like also Deli linux i discover it few 
days ago

I Think if someone else do a package as you ask it will be about 3Mb but 
without all interesting think like XD640; flwriter, filemanager and so . the 
difference in download for you should be about only 10minutes ( 40min for 4mb 
as you said )


Yes it replace the all packages you need to have a X working .... you do not 
need anything else all libs are include .

so i think it's short , fast , easiest to install than all parts of X 
packages from slack and give you a good X starting point.

The XF86Config is also relatively universal to work on a lot of graphic cards 
- monitors couple .

You only have to adapt it to you'r keyboard, and mouse protocol

after that you can if you wich change the customized XF86_SVA for those you 
want but with old hardware it's a good compromise. ( it works also with my 
nvidia graphic card so it's realy an quasi universal one )
