Was a bit shocked when I heard driver will be merged back into xorg. When it they were taken out I had the possibility to install new drivers without upgrading my distribution, I guess that opportunity would be gone. It least I won't install git xorg just to test intel driver's RC releases. For the "we have soo many #ifdef's in our code" argument, well isn't it up to the driver devs how late back they intend to support xorg. - Clemens _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
