fejes, I think you have misunderstood quequotion's point of view: His opinion is that the X-Server that is used in Jaunty should be held back on this release until the fglrx drivers have had time to catch up and are compatible. He was neither criticising the X developers not the STI team but stating their point of view thus explaining why releasing the older version of X would be the saner point of view.
One could argue that Ubuntu's only priority should be the open drivers and that the closed source drivers should be secondary but that is somewhat a closed perspective as it does seem to me that most use the closed drivers as they are superior to the open ones. This does not help the development of the open drivers but is an unavoidable way that things work. One could also argue that if the ATI team do not have the imputus to develop for the new version of X (because no one is using that version of X) they never will and X will become stagnant. I do not see this as the case as the fglrx drivers have continued development with no other impetus than normal market forces and I don't see that changing. My point (and quequotion's) being is that holding back X should be considered as it would aid to stability and compatibility with the X server that we have at the moment. -- MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
