[arch-dev-public] [draft] xorg-server 1.16 is now available
The new version comes with the following changes: * X is now rootless with the help of systemd-logind, this also means that it must be launched from the same virtual terminal as was used to log in. Please note that launching X through a login-manager (gdm, kdm, ...) doesn't yet provide rootless access. The old root execution behavior can be restored through the Xorg.wrap config file (man xorg.wrap). * Better glamor accelerated rendering, deprecating glamor-egl package. * A new package xorg-server-xwayland that allows running X applications inside a wayland session. * The xf86-video-intel package doesn't yet provide dri3 support because of multiple rendering bugs. -- Laurent Carlier http://www.archlinux.org

Please mention that redirecting stderr breaks rootless login. It worked for such a long time that it's not so simple to find the culprit. -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski http://bpiotrowski.pl/
