Hi all!
One of the things which still needs to be decided is the full set of
packages that we'll need to backport in order to take the 12.10 X stack
to 12.04.
Bryce has a prototype backport script in xorg-pkg-tools¹ which gets a
list of package mappings from a lookup table². I think this list is

It's that time of the cycle again - the time to switch to a new X
server, when the Ubuntu-X team conspires to break everyone's system for
a day or so while the archive settles back into consistent state.

Hey all
As a part of the drive to Xserver 1.10, I've noticed that the fglrx and
nvidia proprietary drivers don't have the appropriate Depends: to
prevent the X server being updated from underneath them. (nvidia bug: LP

A simple fix would be to add ${xviddriver:Depe

Hello again!
For Lucid we asked the kernel team to blacklist KMS on i830, i845 & i855
to try to work around the instability in the intel drivers on those
cards.
This instability (while, apparently, slightly reduced by the 2.12 DDX)
is still present in Maverick, so I asked the kernel team to re-en

No. As I mentioned in the preamble, that branch still has some
problems. We also can't reasonably ship a branch of the intel X driver.

Hey all.
To keep everyone up to date with what's happening with bug #565981, the
GLX 1.4 backport patches, and Lucid.
The testing wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Testing/GEMLeak and
comments on the bug suggest that dropping the GLX backport is an
appropriate solution to the GEM memory leak.

Hi all,
After a little bit of teething trouble, it seems that the -nv ->

There are a couple of things that I know remain to be done:

We're aiming to ship Nouveau as the default driver for nVidia cards in
Lucid as a better nv. Towards this end there are now packages ready
for wider testing in the xorg-edgers/nouveau PPA[1].
To test the nouveau drivers you just need to add the PPA with
“add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/nouveau
Now that Alpha 2 is out of the way, I'd like to raise the status of
nouveau in Lucid again. As far as I can tell there's nobody on the
kernel team responsible for driving nouveau in Lucid at the moment,
and everyone's busy with other tasks. I'm happy to help, but at this
point I'm not sure what I
I've been following what's happening upstream with respect to nouveau,
and there have been a couple of interesting events.
Firstly, nouveau is now in staging in Linus' tree[1]. Commit id is

So, for Lucid+1 it looks like we won't have to do anything special
