Those of you who like your Gentoo hot and fresh will be glad to hear that 6.8.1.904 is in the tree just about four hours after it was posted to the freedesktop.org Web site.
If other arch folks would like, I'll gladly file a test-request bug. This will probably be the last RC before the 6.8.2 release. Also, please let me know whether you need any patches added for 6.8.2 -- especially SPARC people.
Again, it's got the migration from /usr/X11R6 to /usr. It still works great for me and it should work well for most people, after Ferris McCormick and I tracked down a few annoying problems.
a huge (non-Gentoo) build completes. If it works for me, I'll add ~sparc to it.
The only patch I'm aware of that sparc might want but might not be present
is the 092_Xserver_sunffb_xaa_extension.diff which is said to be in freedesktop's CVS but as of yesterday, not in released version.
This requires some feedback and advice from the sparc user base because: 1. sunffb definitely works better in general with it applied; 2. It disables DRM for Creator (ffb) graphics cards; 3. But we recently discovered a pretty bad (kernel related) problem with ffb+DRM if you happen to have two Creator cards present (unusual but certainly allowed. I'd have caught it much earlier, except that my system with two graphics cards has Creator+Elite. So, both are using sunffb, but only one of them uses DRM.)
In addition to the upstream stuff, I also added a patch for a BIOSHotkeys option to the radeon driver, which re-enables things like Fn+F7 (Read bug #79033) and a patch to fix some unresolved cfb* symbols when running X -configure or xorgcfg (bug #79497).
Enjoy!
Thanks, Donnie
