Following drivers need further fixing and are not yet rebuilt: ... Current NVidia blob driver + NVidia-304 series claims to be ready for new Xorg. No idea about catalyst.

Happy testing and upstream bug reporting.

-Andy

Catalyst doesn't support Xorg-server 1.14.

This was one of the reasons why catalyst was dropped from the repos some time ago: https://www.archlinux.org/news/ati-catalyst-support-dropped/

Users will have to wait until a compatible version is available. Mesa drivers are an alternative, or they can block the upgrade. ++

I'd like to move Xorg 1.14 pretty soon, best would be together with the kernels. It's up to you whether you want to announce to hold the update for catalyst users or remove it from the repos.

I just noticed that Virtualbox does not work with the latest xorg-server due to ABI mismatch. Is this known? It's possible that rebuildig the driver might fix this. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

Why was this moved to extra regardless of the known issues it causes? -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

i'm building it right now. I didn't even know that xorg-server was moved... -- Ionuț

I suggest to use the video api dependency + conflicts like we do in all other driver packages to avoid the xorg-server update for catalyst users. But this is your choice.

-Andy This was my first choice, to block updates through api dependency until an api compatible driver (packages will follow today in community-testing).

So what is the best choice (final vote): * keep it and block update * remove it

For both choices, there is mesa as an alternative.

I'd keep it for now and block update. AMD has been better the last 2 years. Maybe they'll follow up on this problem soon enough?

There's already a beta driver out with 1.14 support ;)

But I don't want to wait until they will release it as final.

You can move it in "stable", catalyst-utils in community won't let you upgrade xorg-server to 1.14 ++
