I would like to inform people about the current status of X.Org on archlinux. At this moment, we have some client libraries and protocol definitions in extra targeted at xorg-server 1.6 already. I've been busy with xorg-server 1.5.99.903 today, which is supposed to be the last release candidate before 1.6 comes out. So far, the packaging looks good, but there's some nasty side-effects on this upgrade: - all input drivers need a rebuild - all video drivers need a rebuild Besides these rebuilds, I think we're going to have problems with binary drivers again. X will refuse to load them, unless you tell it to ignore ABI mismatches. I will be pushing xorg-server 1.5.99.903 or 1.6 to testing this week together with libdrm 2.4.4, mesa 7.3 and a rebuild+update of all free drivers in our repositories.
