Shared memory X11 server for Mach
Regarding this task: http://savannah.gnu.org/people/viewjob.php?group_id=3972&job_id=194 Does anyone have any idea on what this shared memory feature is for? What exactly is the shared memory X11 server supposed to do, compared to an ordinary X11 server, by being implemented in shared memory? Why is it desirable? Thanks for any clues. :) I'm working on a full set of VESA VBE 3.0 features for Mach/Hurd, including audio (VESA's VBE 3.0 also aims to standardise the interface to audio devices), so this is very interesting to me.

PowerPC port
I have been searching for a project about making a port for powerpc of the gnu-Mach microkernel, the only thing I have found is a project for making run the osf-mach into Hurd, that seems crap, because I have read that osf-mach doesn't have a GPL license. I have knowledge of C and POSIX, so what can I do to help in Hurd, finishing the POSIX support (semaphores) seemed nice, but I can't install the Hurd system, because I only have a mac. bye. -- José Salavert Torres E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.telefonica.net/web/josator ___ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd

PD: Will Hurd have a boot sound? Something like a south-african gnu shout (muhuhhu!) when the soundcard is detected? XDDD Like a war shout. Macs have a boot sound too, but would be ridicolous compared with this ... I think I'm getting mad... -- José Salavert Torres E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.telefonica.net/web/josator Join us now and share the software ...la la, la la ___ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd

What kind of apple do you have? If it can run mklinux it is possible to run GNU/Hurd on it. -- Marco ___ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd

Most work is now being done to port Hurd to the L4 Microkernel (which is already ported to PPC bye the way). There has been some work done toward PPC already but it has stalled temporarily waiting for some of the other L4/Hurd servers to be completed.
