kde.o. 2.5?

Good idea! Graphics needs to be in the kernel to be fast. Windows proved that.

thought SGI proved that :-)

Is Graphics really in the Windows kernel? I think GDI.EXE runs in user mode.

GDI.EXE was moved into the kernel in winNT 4.0 and has been there ever since. M$ released a white paper about this claiming the "performance boost". worked great for me, but was one more thing to go wrong in kernel space, although they touched on that as well.

it'd take me a bit to find a refernce or link for you, but i remember it well.. ;)
