Re: [gentoo-dev] X.Org 7.1 is Stable
I was running evdev under Xorg 7.0 and 7.1 for my mouse without problems. It works if you use it the way they intend it to use it. Read the man page. Otherwise yea it will crash. I used it under 7.0 fine but when I upgraded to 7.1 it started causing xorg to crash on startup same configuration. I'll try it again, maybe this weekend. I confirmed it was evdev removing it's module from the xorg.conf fixed the issue. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-dev] X.Org 7.1 is Stable
is evdev (for 7.1) stable now? and by stable I mean can I use it without it crashing xorg? I should probably test this because I don't recall it getting updated which means it is still broken. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Also, NVIDIA doesn't require AIGLX to run compiz. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=77030 Before running compiz for the first time, you should configure it to your tastes. Again, there are several sites that cover configuring compiz and its various plugins, so I will not cover that here. Note: an exception is direct vs. indirect rendering: when using the NVIDIA graphics driver, you do not need to use the --indirect-rendering option; it limits the number of extensions exposed by the driver, disabling some plugins (e.g. water). -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Note that this applies to AMD64/x86 only. Many platforms have had this stable for awhile, and some still have 7.1 in the testing tree. Joshua Baergen signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
