Michael "Mouse" Parker

I've been working with X since the '80s, gaining some small notoriety on the X mailing list back then. I did the first implementation for NeXT 2bpp Cube and Slab hardware. I've written a ddx layer for SPARC cgfourteen framebuffers, supporting 8bpp and 24bpp on the screen simultaneously. I was one of the reviewers for Israel and Fortune's book about the server.

While I've been less visible in recent decades, I'm still noodling around X, with this talk's subject as an example.
