[arch-dev-public] Xorg 1.12 moves soon to testing for stabilization phase
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. -Andy

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.
Final Xorg-server has been released. No major issues have been reported to our tracker. Touchpad issues seem all solved, right? I'm going to move this soon to extra if you don't raise any stopper. -Andy

I'm still getting bursts of reverse scrolling using two-finger-scroll (synaptics). Makes trying to scroll using the touchpad highly annoying. The burst happens at the start of the scroll, iff the secondary pointer (trackpoint) has been used since the last scroll event.

I see some more workarounds in git: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/log/ Can you try this? -Andy

Same here with any scrolling method (there was a fix posted to the bug report recently that should solve this, IIRC). Furthermore, the scroll direction for circular scrolling reversed, and the buttons 6/7 on my mouse are reversed.

Can't reproduce it anymore. I think it's fixed.
