xcb has been around for ages. Almost everyone uses it, as it's an improvement over plain Xlib. It's still X11. Using xcb does not mean retiring X11. Furthermore, Qt already uses xcb. Just do: ldd /usr/lib/qt4/* | grep libxcb (Or wherever you have the Qt libs installed.) You'll probably see that your Qt is using xcb already. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
