[arch-dev-public] [draft] xorg-server 1.16 is now available (v2)
V2: - add a note about redirection of stderr and rootless login - add a note about configuration file change Please check for typos/errors/... ---8<--- 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, redirecting stderr breaks also rootless login. 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). * The default configuration files are now in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, all host configurations are still taking place in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory. Please note that files 10-evdev.conf and 10-quirks.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d could be renamed with .pacsave suffix, which could break your configuration, then just rename them and remove the .pacsave suffix. * 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. --->8--- -- Laurent Carlier http://www.archlinux.org
Hi Laurent, I'm not sure if you follow arch-general, but Karol raises a valid point there (see attached). For short: non-root users seem to be unable to run two X servers concurrently. Is this a bug or a feature? Cheers. -- Gaetan
