I am slowly working my way though xorg with gcc5. My intent is to build a relatively minimal installation and then press on to kf5/plasma5.

I've got xorg working, but the most recent package updates have changed some messages that I would like to confirm.

I have a nvidia based card so the only xorg drivers I've built are:

libvdpau-1.1
libevdev-1.4.2
mtdev-1.1.5
evdev-2.9.2
nouveau-1.0.11
libva-1.5.1

I did set up an xorg video section to skip the search for nv, vesa, etc drivers.

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Nvidia"
    Driver      "nouveau"
    Option      "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

The system works fine with twm, but checking Xorg.0.log, I see


[   720.981] (II) glamor: OpenGL accelerated X.org driver based.
[   721.131] (II) glamor: EGL version 1.4 (DRI2):
...
[   721.277] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[   721.277] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
[   721.278] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast
[   721.278] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0

glxinfo confirms that DRI is working, but I just want to confirm that the 2nd set of messages above are bogus.

--------

In a related matter, I see Ken has made a slight change to building sessreg-1.1.0 in xorg apps. I did not get any line numbers in filenames.sed:

$ cat filenames.sed
/__BEGIN_UTMP_ONLY__/,/__END_UTMP_ONLY__/ d
s|__utmp_manpage__|utmpx|g
s|__utmp_file__|
s|__wtmp_manpage__|wtmpx|g
s|__wtmp_file__|
s|__ttys_file__|"/etc/ttys"|g
s|__lastlog_file__|

Although lines 3, 5, and 7 do not have the sed command properly terminated. I do confirm that the change to building fixes the problem, but the explanation is not clear.
