Hi David, when I read your blog entry http://www.livejournal.com/users/gravityboy/14794.html I got interested and wanted to try your new X.Org packages. I'm using an up to date Debian sid system and tried your packages from http://people.debian.org/~dnusinow/xorg. All in all the upgrade was pretty smooth, I just noticed some minor issues I wanted to tell you: 1.) The transitional package xfree86-common was selected automatically but didn't install/upgrade (and uninstall) cleanly. I had to add the flag -f to update-rc.d in xfree86-common.postinst on line 810 and to xfree86-common.postrm on line 798/805. 2.) I still had the old xfree86 entries in /etc/X11/Xsession.d, namely 20xfree86-common_process-args, 30xfree86-common_xresources, 50xfree86-common_determine-startup, 90xfree86-common_ssh-agent and 99xfree86-common_start after the upgrade. I deleted them manually and had no ill effects. 3.) There was no replacement/smooth upgrade for xfree86-driver-synaptics. I had to uninstall it manually. Maybe you could talk to Mattia Dongili (the Debian maintainer) to provide a corresponding xorg-driver-synaptics package to provide a smooth upgrade. As a workaround I installed the xorg-driver-synaptics package from Ubuntu which worked fine. All in all I was quite pleased by the upgrade and the quality of your packages. I hope we will see them in unstable very soon. Keep up the good work!
