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.

Are nvidia beta drivers being built with this release ? I think I will do an IgnoreGroup = Xorg for some days ;)

Yes, nvidia drivers are in the same repos.

Ok. Even if I am an old testing user, I will wait a day or two this time :D

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.

Another datapoint - I just updated and have no problems at all with my (different) touchpad:
SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
No other issues so far with xorg 1.12 - (lenovo W520 using Intel graphics).

I have the same issues. My touchpad: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint
So, can this be a Alps only issue?
In case it helps, here's another datapoint I am also seeing these issues. (1,2,3 as in Thomas' email) 1) In addition to circular scrolling being reversed, so is the right-edge vertical scrolling. 2) Haven't noticed any speed changes, but I don't use the touchpad much, and could easily have missed this. 3) I see the same here.

I didn't notice this at first, but yes, same here.

Wrong again. It seems to change direction at will.

I don't think this is a problem with synaptics. On my mouse, buttons 6 and 7 are exchanged.
I noticed after upgrading to xorg 1.12, one scroll up/down on my mouse occasionally become many scroll ups/downs

I also had this problem with the testing/xorg-server-1.11.99.903-1 package. Compiling it using the latest subversion PKGBUILD and the patch from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45611 applied solved the problem for me.

Confirmed using "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" on Asus K52JT, although it remains usable if slightly annoying.
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.

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.

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