Latest running Stack ? | NV Driver

2009-05-14 Thread Florian Lier
Hello everyone, I've two questions concerning the current Xorg master-branch from GIT. 1) Is there any evidence why the current xorg stack doesn't start-up (http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org), e.g. a particular module or driver which prevents X from starting up... As far as I can see xcb,
