Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Just wanted to make you aware that xorg-server 1.1 (and all release |
| 4 |
candidates, including 1.0.99 and up) breaks the server-driver ABI from 1.0. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
This means drivers are not compatible following an upgrade of |
| 7 |
xorg-server, and both sides will require an update to work again properly. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
This also means that all binary drivers (nvidia, ati, etc) will be |
| 10 |
broken with xorg-server 1.1 and RC's until their upstream vendor |
| 11 |
provides a compatible update. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Everything with the new ABI is currently masked, but when X.Org 7.1 is |
| 14 |
released, will come out of package.mask. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
We are working to ensure the dependencies work as smoothly as possible, |
| 17 |
but I expect there will be some issues since it's difficult to require |
| 18 |
updates to all these optional drivers following an update to the server. |

Thanks, |
