XO-2 software plans

[Jim Gettys]

Bert...

Part of the problem is the X driver model is pretty broken, causing much
more to be done in software than should be necessary; and it isn't clear
we're even using X efficiently at the moment...  The driver stuff is
getting fixed (in general in X: this is the EXA/DRI2 work); profiling of
our entire software stack is in order to see where our real problems are
at the moment.
