 yes, sure I can compile and install the newer libpciaccess library.
 But my question is that why do the X server developers want libpciaccess.so
 separated from the X server.
 
 Any good reason to do this ?

It's used by a few tools outside the X server.

Why libpciaccess separated from X server ?

2011-04-21 Thread Kevin Master
Hello Freedesktop fellows:

I am now using a Linux distribution RedFlag6  on my PC which carries X server 
1.7, after a while, I found the system carries a  very low pciaccess library 
which version is 0.10.2.
libpciaccess-0.10.2 have  no vga arbiter function support at all. So I have 
been 
kept thinking why the X  server developers decide to separate the 
libpciaccess.so out of the X  server
itself? 
This will certainly make some thing not working under  special situation like I 
am currently running into.

Any help will be appreciated.

 Best Regards


Kevin

If you can upgrade the X server, then you can upgrade libpciaccess, so I don't
see the problem.
