Dear Frugalware-current users out there, You probably noticed that we did not update X.Org for a while. This happened as in our opinion the version we already have packaged was still more stable then any of the newer versions, so we sticked to ... [More] X.Org 7.2 and decided to maintain it, instead of upgrading to a newer version for some time. Now it's time to upgrade! Finally upstream released an updated X server which seem to be: 1) as stable as the good old one we currently have, 2) featuring no more blocker problems like the ones in X.Org 7.3 did. So in short: time for testing! We prepared a separate testing repo for this purpose as this update currently features more than 350 little changes. If you want to help, please: 1) Add Include = /etc/pacman-g2/repos/xorg73 to /etc/pacman-g2.conf, before the frugalware-current line. 2) Create a file named /etc/pacman-g2/repos/xorg73 with the following contents: [xorg73] Server = http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/krix/xorg73/frugalware-i686 3) Issue the usual # pacman-g2 -Syu to update your system. 4) You can restart X by rebooting, or running # init 3 && init 4 If no major problem occurs, we plan to merge the xorg73 branch at the end of the weekend. Thanks for your help! [Less]
