When X11 locks up, I can still kill it and my box lives. When
framebuffers crash, their is no recovery save rebooting. Back in 1995
I thought that linux VTs and X11 implemenation blew Solaris out of the
water, and now we want throw away our progress? I'm still astounded
by the whole "oooh I can see a penquin while I boot-up" thing?
Granted, frame buffers have usage in embedded systems, but do they
really have to be so deeply integrated??
