err - the new xservers are not breaking compatibility so i don't see that this
affects e in any way :). the x protocol is still a standard and right now e17
work is not using any new extensions and thus not even making USE of features
added to x in the last few years - as in either x.org or xfree86 the useful new
features (mainly xrender) is so slow on basiclly every single driver, that it's
utterly useless (please see renderbench for info). other features like damage
and xfixes aren't a LOt of use without xrender as well, so this is the
bottleneck - and it has been so since it came into existence and to this date as
best i know has not changed. (caveat - it has for a particular driver on 1 gfx
chip only - the issue is the software fallbacks that are used if full accel is
not feasible/possible/available yet). i wont go into details here though.
