@ -8,6 +8,14 @@ various kernel trees. Note that if you are interested in video card drivers
you should probably talk to XFree86 (http://www.xfree86.org/) and/or X.Org
(http://x.org/) instead.
.. note::
This document is old and has seen little maintenance in recent years; it
should probably be updated or, perhaps better, just deleted. Most of
what is here can be found in the other development documents anyway.
Oh, and we don't really recommend submitting changes to XFree86 :)
Also read the Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst document.
