Hi, We're working on the transition to xserver 1.18, which is already available in experimental.
For the drivers in main, all build fine except for: xserver-xorg-input-aiptek xserver-xorg-video-openchrome xserver-xorg-video-intel builds fine for the experimental version, so we may just upload that to unstable when the transition starts. I didn't check the drivers that don't build on x86: xserver-xorg-video-freedreno xserver-xorg-video-geode xf86-video-omap Please check those. As for the non-free drivers, nvidia-* already supports this new version. fglrx doesn't though, that needs an update. While we have tested the new xserver, we have limited hardware and haven't tested most drivers. So please give your driver some testing against the new xserver. I'd like to start this transition ASAP. We will binNMU the drivers that can be rebuilt unless you say you want to do a sourceful upload for some reason. The packages that don't get support for the new xserver promptly may need to be removed from testing. Cheers, Emilio
