Re: [sabayon-dev] xorg-server-1.11 in Sabayon 8?
if you are going to bump it to this version, please take care of the security bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399347 (CVE-2012-0064) =x11-base/xorg-server-1.10.99.902 x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-2.4.1-r3 : screen lock bypass via XKB debug hotkeys (CVE-2012-0064) by updating to x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-2.4.1-r3 PS it's nice to see a fast reaction there!
Re: [sabayon-dev] xorg-server-1.11 in Sabayon 8?
As we speak it xorg-server-1.11 is in Limbo now. No problems on my system useing the OpenSource ati driver. I'll check out x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-2.4.1-r3 and bump it if needed.

Re: [sabayon-dev] xorg-server-1.11 in Sabayon 8?
I'd agree with Wolfden, but be sure to have a good disclaimer warning for possible failure with legacy nvidia cards, otherwise n00bs could think we are the problem... 2012/1/18 Wolfden wolf...@gmail.com On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 5:55 AM, Fabio Erculiani lx...@sabayon.orgwrote: I would really like to bump xorg-server to 1.11, but as stated in my previous post here, nvidia legacy drivers would stop working.

just do it Joe
Re: [sabayon-dev] xorg-server-1.11 in Sabayon 8?
I''ve heard people say nouveau is a good enough alternative for legacy NVIDIA cards. Either way I'd go for it. On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 2:31 PM, Josef Odenthal joe.odent...@gmail.com wrote: just do it Joe

I have recompiled xorg-server-11.3 and all that it needed to be compiled. I can confirm, on my Nvidia 9650M GT 1 gigs integrated and running proprietary drivers that xorg-server-1.11.3 works like a charm. No corruption/error. And compiled with march=native, vomit-frame-pointer and graphite. Green light on my lappy :) From: miciam...@hotmail.it To: devel@lists.sabayon.org Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:51:31 +0100 Subject: Re: [sabayon-dev] xorg-server-1.11 in Sabayon 8? I don't have any legacy Nvidia hardware, but I still think compatibility should be a big concern for serious and reliable OS, so my vote is negative on this. Bleeding edge disregarding compatibility and lacking any good motivation (and version X version Y isn't enough) is no good to me. If this is such mandatory decision and there are good reasons to do this, I would go on dropping an email to Nvidia to see if they are actually interested in updating their legacy drivers for newer xorg, if they aren't (or don't respond) the least we should do is providing an automatic way to switch to nouveau for those cards.

Anyways the oldest video card I have is two years old, so for me it's ok :) mic -- Lorenzo Cogotti
