Sam Bent, 8 months ago (at this time), covered XLibre, which is essentially a fork of XOrg that wants to clean up the codebase, modernize it, and fix the security holes that lasted for years on XOrg.

Meetux, the developer, became persona-non-Grata in FreeDesktop, IBM, RedHat, and possible GNOME circles, simply because he wanted to fix Xorg so people have an option on what they want to use.

It’s also why I won’t kowtow to IBM, GNOME, and FDO’s demands, due to technical merit being moot.

    Basically, take Xorg, improve security and usability, but don’t go the Wayland route and break almost everything that requires certain permissions.

      Sure, but how have they improved security and usability?
      Which changes over Xorg convinced you to switch?
