With xorg-server 1.17.1-0ubuntu4 we have a new XMir codebase. This is the code that was used for the MWC convergence demo [1].
There is now a special XMir XServer (/usr/bin/Xmir) in the "xmir" package. The xserver-xorg-xmir package which had a plugin for /usr/bin/X is now an empty transitional package. "/usr/bin/X -mir" no longer works. The old XMir code is now no longer supported. At some point there will be a mass-closing of bugs - if you can reproduce an issue in the new XMir please re-open. Do to how cursors are now implemented you will currently not see cursors when running inside unity-system-compositor. This will be fixed [2]. Unfortunately since the new XMir requires cutting edge Mir features we can't SRU this change to older releases. So if you want to play with XMir please run wily. --Robert [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3PUYoa1c9M [2] https://code.launchpad.net/~robert-ancell/unity-system-compositor/new-xmir/+merge/260908 -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
