See the linuxwacom-discuss mailing list archive for active threads over the last few days.

I much prefer my brown paper bag errors to look like typos than to look like I knowingly crashed the entire system of a few thousand trusting users. And you probably don't want to carry that sort of karma away for something that you already have working ok without a package from the distro. This release isn't experimental anymore, its a known failed experiment that I'm glad I didn't upload more hastily. When we have a new experiment we'll judge the right group to experiment on with it again. > > Sorry. Big transition to a new xserver ABI.

The most appropriate thing right now is to wait and see what Magnus hears back from the XOrg devs about what he's found so far. Then we'll have a better idea of how bad it is and what we can do about it. Ron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
