Message-ID: <200502281801.j1SI1Vkv032526@turing-police.cc.vt.edu> From: Valdis.Kletnieks at vt.edu (Valdis.Kletnieks@...edu) Subject: Xfree86 video buffering?

Umm... what's stopping the user from looking at the F7 root session and getting the information *before* you hit alt-F8? If the user is there in time to see the vt7 session info before the X server wakes up and draws the vt8 pixels, they were probably in visual range before you did it too. Unless of course, ctl-alt-F8 is really your "the boss is coming, hide the pr0n" key sequence, in which case you *do* have a problem, but it's not the X server. :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
