This may be problematic. The server's ABI version will change, requiring the old drivers to be rebuilt or new drivers. This may or may not happen every upstream X.org release, I can't really say without more experience, but the ABI did break between 7.0 and 7.1. The server should work fine without too many additional backports of the libs or protocol headers though. The 7.1 server only requires an update of one lib and two protocol headers from 7.0. I'd imagine that this will be more or less the average. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
