I would like to move xorg to extra soon. The state of X.org in testing is a lot better than the packages in extra. This means problems for some users though:
- nvidia-96xx doesn't work - nvidia-71xx doesn't work - catalyst doesn't work
All the other drivers should work fine, as they're either opensource drivers or binary drivers that support X.Org 7.4 by now. People affected by this should either stick with the old xorg-server or install free drivers with support for their hardware.
I don't wish to wait for new non-free drivers, as the non-free vendors don't give any information about X.Org 7.4 support on their roadmap. We can wait for 6 months if we keep waiting on this.
I just got mail from a user claiming catalyst 8.10 working with Xorg 7.4 which is also in OpenSuSE 11.1 beta2.
OK, I see you've updated catalyst to Ubuntu's secret version :-) which supports Xorg 1.5 according to Phoronix. So... is it ok to release Xorg 1.5 now?
There's still some issues with catalyst: - the libdrm.so symlinking crap is weird, I got different reports about ati and/or xorg version of this one working - somehow the ATI driver looks in /usr/lib/dri instead of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri. Besides that, I'd like to have some wiki documentation about the input hotplugging so people know how to tune it or turn it off if they don't want it.
