 > Anything that needs X11 will not work.

 To be precise, anything which requires monitors (X or otherwise) will not
 work. The problem is the monitor/driver architecture, not X. We already
 have libW11, which allows the use of XDRIVER under Cygwin without
 requiring X.

 In practice, it doesn't really matter, as anything which works with the
 PNG driver will likely work with direct rendering. I only mention this in
 case someone is thinking of fixing the issue, in which case it needs to be
 remembered that it's not X which is the problem, but the communication
 between the client and the monitor.
