As long as you properly fulfill dependencies, Xorg devs script can
fetch the source and build it for your system.
< https://www.x.org/wiki/Building_the_X_Window_System/#index9h3 >

You must adjust paths to the location of your newly built Xorg binaries.

On the other hand if you have a subscription to SuSE enterprise, they
may provide you with solution(s).

Niltze [Hello], Mark-

If your ChromeBook has AMD64 architecture (i.e., x86-64 is the 64-bit
version of the x86 instruction set) and you wanna give a spin to
Debian Jessie (8.x) on Reiser4 (< https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/ >),
please try < https://sf.net/projects/debian-reiser4/ >

Please make sure to observe the screenshots and if (if you will)

After Debian upgrade, X will hang machine showing only a black screen

2014-07-22 Thread Jose R R
Niltze!

After a Debian distribution upgrade [apt-get dist-upgrade] my
3-month-old X build [X.Org X Server 1.15.99.902 (1.16.0 RC 2) Release
Date: 2014-04-08] does not function properly anymore in a machine with
Intel i915.

I have since then built X from section: Build Process Based on
build.sh Script at http://www.x.org/wiki/Building_the_X_Window_System/
[X.Org X Server 1.16.99.1
Release Date: 2014-07-17]
with no success either.

I've noticed in both old and new Xorg.0.log files the following lines:

[   374.377] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 1366x768@60.0 on LVDS1
using pipe 0, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none
[   374.377] (EE) intel(0): failed to set mode: Permission denied

Thus I assume that my Debian upgrade changed something that affected
the permissions to set X adequately.


Any insights suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.



Best Professional Regards.

Re: [PATCH 6/6] Xwayland DDX

 Hi Kristian,

 This direction seems to conflict with our plans to continue running our DDX 
 driver under XWayland.  If we can't run  our DDX, we don't have a path to 
 support GLX direct rendering under Wayland.

 I know we don't have anything publicly available for Wayland at the moment, 
 but as I've alluded to publicly a few  times, we are actively working on 
 support and this certainly throws a wrench into things.
[...]

Perhaps if NVidia worked in an *open environment* (i.e. 'publicly')
the 'wrench' could be avoided?

 So SuSE patched their package to solve it and hasn't pushed the patch

 upstream.


 Was it actually necessary? Fedora works too:

 Fedora patches it too, see the end of:
 http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xorg-x11-drv-sis.git/tree/sis-0.10.7-git.patch

 Can you build xf86-video-sis strictly from upstream git without a patch?
 I can't, and no one else seems to be able to either, so I'm not sure why
 you're arguing this.

Indeed, can't build strictly from upstream git:

After newest xserver build, Google Chrome Chromium browser issue.

2014-01-26 Thread Jose R R
Niltze-

X.Org X Server 1.15.99.900 (1.16.0 RC 0)
Release Date: 2014-01-09

After the latest x.org build (
http://www.x.org/wiki/Building_the_X_Window_System/ ) on GNU/Linux
Debian, *both* Google's Chrome and open source Chromium display window
become corrupted -- either immediately or subsequently upon moving the
pointer across the browser: (
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Be5ixAxCUAA5Arl.png:large ).

The changing image in a YouTube video is not affected until *after* it
stops: ( https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Be5rORXCYAAEKu1.png:large )

Oddly, the other browsers, i.e., Iceweasel (Firefox), Opera, and
Epiphany, are not affected.

I have repeated the build on a clean directory and the issue remains.
I have no idea what is causing it but

X.Org X Server 1.15.0
Release Date: 2013-12-27

did not exhibit that issue.
