I'm still stucked on Xorg-6.8 and not intending to upgrade anytime soon unless there is a lot of good things to expect out of it. Right now, as long as there's no exploit/bug for xorg-6.8, I'll keep it that way. My 2 cents anyway. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

There are plenty of improvements to expect, but you'd need to read the ChangeLogs for details. Addition of the new acceleration architecture (exa), accelerated indirect GLX, and many fixes to drivers are just a few. Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to upgrade, I just don't have a test box and I just don't want to go through some hell to get my laptop to work for work. :-) There are plenty of improvements to expect, but you'd need to read the ChangeLogs for details. Which changelogs? Xorgs or the one in portage? I can't seem to find the changelogs for xorg 7.0 in www.x.org. Addition of the new acceleration architecture (exa), accelerated indirect GLX, and many fixes to drivers are just a few. I see, you mean xorg's changelogs. I just looked at the modular x upgrade howto and the wiki, seems pretty decent. But the Block List and the # of packages is just huge :-) What are the caveats during the upgrade? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
