2007/9/3, Alexander Baldeck <kth5@archlinuxppc.org>:
Hey all,
X.Org 7.3's release is about to happen in the next few days/weeks. For that reason I've built the latest xorg-server snapshot which is at version 1.3.99.2 and most of the drivers and newly introduced packages.
A lot has changed, primarily in the area of driver ABI. For example nvidia is broken, it does build but xorg-server rejects it when starting up with an API mismatch error. Forcing it leads to hardlocks. I am using xf86-video-nv for now but this issue needs to be addressed.
I have no idea how well fglrx & unichrome-dri plays with the new server. So I'd like to hear about it.
Anyone wanting to take part in testing, should add this repo:
http://kth5.telekommunisten.net/xorg/
The PKGBUILs will soon be available with the same URL, just need to clean them up a bit.
I guess you didn't put it in Testing because nvidia/fglrx won't work with this version, but why not put it on ftp.archlinux.org and let it be mirrored? (like JGC did with Gnome 2.19) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
