Anyone tried 16.7.1 enlightenment with the 6.8.0 xorg release? Just
wondering if there are any glaring gotchas.
     

None that I know of right now!
   

I merged in Xorg 6.8.0 last night.  So far I've regretted it.  I was
moving from XFree86 to Xorg and Xorg didn't really care for my XF86Config.
I decided to do things "right(tm)" and use xorgconfig to get a nice clean
config and edit it up from there.
I've had acouple of crashes for seemingly no reason (nothing is logged,
just drops out and locks my console).  I also had a serious crashing issue
when I first fired it up.  After installing Xorg and getting it running
you must use "fc-cache" to do some cleaning.  If you don't, X will crash
when you resize windows.
My biggest complaint so far is that my GLX frame rate (nvidia 4600) has
dropped off by almost 3,000 fps.   I think I've got a config errror
somewhere but I'm still trying to find it.
Never the less, E 16.7.1 is working perfectly.  So upgrade away, but don't
blame problems on E.

were you aware that you could just copy your XF86Config to xorg.conf and 
leave it as is? That's what I did, and it worked fine. No loss of fps 
anywhere.
Cheers
John
