If not, I'll grok the sources and try to put together a decent patch. I know there are bindings to Gtk and such. I'll use those later. Right now I'm interested in OpenMotif and straight X/Xlib/Xt hacking. On a side note, has anyone done any straight framebuffer hacking using Ada? I've been using C, but I wanna try it with Ada. Using the Linux FB drivers right now. Should be an interesting experiment with Ada's representation clauses as far as pixel pushing, shading, and such. Shouldn't be too difficult to get started as the Vesa/VBE standards are pretty well documented. Ideas? Freejack
