[arch-general] testing xorg-server 1.8 [xorg18]
Thank you for a great job, Jan. I can confirm the xorg-server 1.8 works great for me! :) I'm running on [testing], i686, kernel 2.6.33.2, xf86-video-intel, touchpad(synaptics), keyboard, usb keyb/mouse hotpluging works as well, sound(intel hda) & guvc video webcam .... just upgraded and voila, works like a charm! :) Happy Easter to all of you! Marek ...well, here's an update after a deeper tryout :) *touchpad(synaptics) - issues with tapping which does not work /buttons do/ *a note for testers, one can disable !hal from rc.conf but make sure to include dbus instead(hal used to start it up) otherwise policykit fails *I have troubles with resuming from suspend/black screen/ but have to make sure if it is not a problem of kernel. *as I'm using kde, here's a problem: battery monitor is disabled and i'm not sure if cpu freq scaling under kde works(probably problem of kde?, acpi command shows correct info), also there is a dependency on hal- pacman -Rcsn hal would remove a great bunch of packages(including kde), how do I figure, whats the dep.? Thanks once again, Mark PS: I would reply to arch-dev-public thread but i don't have write access to it -- Marek Otahal :o)

Afaik, kde need hal, for exemple for the battery monitor, which seems to be build upon hal. I have heard that next kde's release will allow hal-free build, but I can be wrong. -- Cordialement, Coues Ludovic 06 148 743 42 -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

For the previous synaptics package, we used to include default configuration that enables tapping. With the release in the xorg18 repo the only configuration done is driver assignment. I haven't noticed this problem as GNOME overrides synaptics settings anyways.
Ok, thank you Jan. I had to enable it manually by adding Option "TapButton1" "1" to xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf and it works now. On Tuesday 06 of April 2010 15:03:23 Jan de Groot wrote:
