The interfaces are granted to be backwards compatible and that was always the case. I ran full build into other directory and everything appears to work. I am currently running Xorg Server 1.14.0. I don't notice any change except that AMD's binary blob doesn't (again) work. In most cases, things that break with new XServer releases are drivers - nothing else. Libraries and protocol headers are only extended to include new stuff - old interfaces aren't touched in an incompatible manner. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
