I've been trying to update xorg-server to version 1.18.0 and have been
having problems.
It builds fine.
When I started it, I got an error that the modules (xorg drivers) were out
of date. I then started to rebuild the drivers.
There's no problem with the basic input libs and drivers, but I had to
hack the intel driver to get it to build. I have not tested that yet.
sed -i "/PixmapSyncDirtyHelper/s/, &pixregion//" src/uxa/intel_driver.c
I couldn't get the nouveau driver to build at all. A google search
doesn't come up with much, but I do see some updates in the git
repository. For example:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/commit/?id=1f8b2b348526d94e9bde4a285f331a4934c11078
I did remove my old nouveau driver and built fbdev-0.4.4. That at least
got xorg to come up on my development system.
I have not tried to build the ati driver.
I'm inclined to move the xorg-server-1.18.0 ticket to hold status until we
get updated drivers.
What do you think?
