New Xorg has Xinput 2.2, Mesa 8.0 and many major library updates. Expect some bugs and broken packages. Most recent Xorg stuff is used in Fedora RawHide for a while where fixes can be found.
Most noticeable changes will be:
- Mesa 8.0 drops 3D support for some chips. These packages are gone now: unichrome-dri, mach64-dri, mga-dri, r128-dri, savage-dri, sis-dri, tdfx-dri - I couldn't find patches to get Xorg 1.12 support in xf86-video-sisemedia and xf86-video-xgi. Both should be of very low interest (not included in FC at all). We might drop them if no fix can be found. - State of closed drivers: Nvidia has a beta pkg out with Xorg 1.12 support. Let's pray it's already in usable state. Catalyst (AUR) users will stay in the dark as on every major Xorg release for a while.
Synaptics 1.5.99-1 is completely fucked for me. 1) Circular scrolling direction is reversed. This can't be a feature, really. 2) Speed/acceleration behaviour changed, my touchpad is now much faster than it should be (I could reconfigure that, but I shouldn't have to). 3) The cursor keeps "coasting" when I keep the finger on the touchpad but stop moving. Coasting is disabled in the settings as far as I can see (and it should only be coasting if I move towards an edge of the pad). I managed to build 1.5.0 against the newest xorg-server, but acceleration breaks then as well (touchpad is completely unaccelerated in this case). My touchpad: AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad This is a blocker for 1.12 for me.
