X11R7.6 Release Candidate 1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It's a bit after 11pm, on the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, so what better time for a new release of X11! Release Candidate 1 of X11R7.6 has been posted at: http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6-RC1/ This includes all the source tar files for the versions of the modules currently considered part of the core release set (aka the “katamari”) and the documentation files from those modules (other than the man pages) At this point, only some final bug fixes, documentation updates, and janitorial cleanups are expected between now and the final release of X11R7.6, including final releases of several modules for which release candidates are included in this set (including libX11 1.4.0 and xorg-docs 1.6.0). The full list of modules included, and the versions compared to X11R7.5 is provided in the following list. Update releases of the modules not included in the core/katamari set will continue to be made as needed. For further details on the changes since X11R7.5, see the Release Notes and Change Logs posted at the above URL. -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering __ - not included in katamari* release needs to be made from git MODULE 7.5 7.6RC1 -- - -- applewmproto 1.4.1 1.4.1 bdftopcf 1.0.2 1.0.3 bigreqsproto 1.1.0 1.1.1 compositeproto 0.4.1 0.4.2 damageproto 1.2.0 1.2.1 dmxproto 2.3 2.3 dri2proto 2.1 2.3 encodings 1.0.3 1.0.4 fixesproto 4.1.1 4.1.2 font-adobe-100dpi 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-adobe-75dpi 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-adobe-utopia-100dpi 1.0.2 1.0.3 font-adobe-utopia-75dpi 1.0.2 1.0.3 font-adobe-utopia-type1 1.0.2 1.0.3 font-alias 1.0.2 1.0.3 font-arabic-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-bh-100dpi 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-bh-75dpi 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-bh-ttf 1.0.1 1.0.3 font-bh-type1 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-bitstream-100dpi 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-bitstream-75dpi 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-bitstream-type1 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-cronyx-cyrillic 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-cursor-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-daewoo-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-dec-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-ibm-type1 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-isas-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-jis-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-micro-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-misc-cyrillic 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-misc-ethiopic 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-misc-meltho 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-misc-misc 1.1.0 1.1.1 font-mutt-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-schumacher-misc 1.1.0 1.1.1 font-screen-cyrillic 1.0.2 1.0.3 font-sony-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-sun-misc 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-util 1.1.1 1.2.0 font-winitzki-cyrillic 1.0.1 1.0.2 font-xfree86-type1 1.0.2 1.0.3 fontsproto 2.1.0 2.1.1 glproto 1.4.101.4.12 iceauth 1.0.3 1.0.4 inputproto 2.0 2.0.1 kbproto 1.0.4 1.0.5 libAppleWM 1.4.0 1.4.0 libFS 1.0.2 1.0.3 libICE 1.0.6 1.0.7 libSM 1.1.1 1.2.0 libWindowsWM 1.0.1 1.0.1 libX11 1.3.2 1.3.99.903 libXScrnSaver 1.2.0 1.2.1 libXau 1.0.5 1.0.6 libXaw 1.0.7 1.0.8 libXcomposite 0.4.1 0.4.3 libXcursor 1.1.101.1.11 libXdamage 1.1.2 1.1.3

It's a special case we made last year when we stopped shipping the xf86-video-via driver it replaced, since no one was maintaining the via driver anymore, and at least then the openchrome driver was still maintained. (Though with no driver update in a year either, maybe it's just time to declare VIA hardware to be stuck with the VESA driver instead.)

Multiseat config performance
My aim is to build a multiseat config with 2 nvidia boards, 2 monitors, 2 keyboards and 2 mouses for 3D CFD data visualisations. I'm using the nvidia driver. To launch my test config I had to setup /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers with: :0 local /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -config /root/xorg.conf.new -layout seat0 -nolisten tcp -br vt7 :1 local /usr/bin/Xorg :1 -config /root/xorg.conf.new -layout seat1 -nolisten tcp -br vt8 -sharevts I've read on several discussions that the -sharevts should be used (it does'nt work without it) but I do not understand what this option does and it is not documented in xorg man page. But I've still some problems with this config. To run a first test, I've used glxgears. Even if I have 2 graphic boards, if I launch glxgears in the 2 sessions the application is 30% slower tan if it is runing only in one session from7370 FPS to 5290 FPS. The server is a 6 cores Xeon with 24Gbytes of memory with two nvidia FX4800 and each glxgears is on a separate core, runing at 100%. Thanks for your advices.

How to limit view area on display?
Hi! I've got a hardware problem that maybe could be solved with xorg. I have broken my LCD screen on laptop. The area that don't display picture is 135 px wide on the left. I want to use it for a while, till I buy a new LCD. The question is: can i resize display area to 1231*768 that is moved 135 px right with resolution 1366*768? I can use it how it is, I just created an empty panel 135px width on the left in ubuntu, but when i turn something to full-screen, it displays under the broken area. PS: Sorry for my english :) Thanks, Alexander ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

I meant to note: among the known bugs being fixed is broken support for cross-compiling in a number of the modules. Fixes are in git, so are available for testing. It must be noted that none of the main X.Org developers seem to build in cross-compiled environments ourselves, and no one who cares about cross-compiling seems to be tracking git - the changes that introduced these problems were committed in July, but it was not until the tarballs were published 3 months later that we found out cross-compiling was broken. If you are interested in making sure future software releases from X.Org cross-compile out of the box, or build on a platform other than the ones the core developers build on, it would be in your best interest to occasionally compile the modules you use from git. Even better would be to set up a tinderbox client, so when a failure is introduced, it's brought to our attention right away on http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org/ and in our RSS feeds of errors from there. http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Tinderbox has more information on setting up a tinderbox for X.Org. - -- -Alan Coopersmith-alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (SunOS) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkzeGFUACgkQovueCB8tEw7uHwCfcH7b9T64Pf1pRTrmSbsnnW4U c0AAnRRnbBWoNMD+alO6xgM8XpPGNs5Z =3ugE -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
