If they don't, the drivers will drop out of other major linux distributions and I really doubt that is going to happen. It might take a while (if I recall correctly, the binary nvidia drivers were broken with current X.org for something like 8 months at one point) but it's probably a good bet that newer releases (two or three times a year) will support current or near-current kernels.

If noone will use our X.org 1.5 exheres in a few months, keeping them around in x11.git just means more maintenance work. If only a few people still need 1.5, keeping it in a local repository (or even just their own branch of x11.git) seems the best way to go. ... unless Ingmar really really wants to keep working on it, of course ;) -- Anders Ossowicki _______________________________________________ Exherbo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.exherbo.org/mailman/listinfo/exherbo-dev
