Why do you hate to say that. I use the nvidia binary driver too. I use
propritary code when it seems appropriate. For me, I like to use open
source as much as possible, but it's not a religious thing.
First they took away the accelerated 3d open drivers, but I didn't care
because there was a binary driver. Then they gave me an unsupported
network card, but that was ok, there was a binary module shipped with
RHEL. ... (sorry, I've just come from catching up on my lkml backlog)
Anyway, to answer your question about changes, the only one I've found
so far is the following for host.def
#define BuildXterm YES
(unless you really don't want xterms, of course). I think DJ pointed
me to that.
Actually, -rc3 is out now - they always do that just after I've got the
previous version. Hmm, I think I'll have to play with that on powerpc64
this week (902 was ok, but I screwed up some of the definitions for
lib64 so my install looked slightly unusual - it picked up the need for
lib64, but used lib as the main directory, so fonts were in lib, and
libraries were a few levels down in a lib64 subdirectory). At least 6.9
builds with gcc4 and on ppc64.
The xorg foundation will release the X11R6.9,which will be the last
monolithic version,about Xmas,together with the new X11R7 modularized
source tree.
The modular version will be interesting.
You bet it will - I've chickened out of trying to understand how it all
fits together, but I'm sure I've seen a post from someone who tried it.
