    That's not really the answer. What I'm asking is what does Aqua run on?
    Is it a FB or is it X? If it's not X11, then I'd assume it's either
    using something like Accellerated X, but then that's a proprietary of
    X11 anyway. If it's not X11, in the broad or narrow sense, then It must
    be hardware frame-buffer. Does *anyone* know? The reason I ask, is I was
    curious if it was possible to login to a OSX box, using SSH, then run
    Abiword through a SSH tunnel to some target machine, and vice versa.

    I've heard it is *not* possible, but I don't have a Mac, so I don't
    know.
