I understand that. I was not referring to the proprietary drivers. Hopefully, those will supported in the near future.
What I was referring to was X running on top of Mire called "XMir". As I have understood, Both X and Mir will be available for 13.10. If Mir will not work on some hardware, for whatever reason, then, the system will rollback to xorg. Going forward, the X rollback will be replaced by XMir. Please, tell me if I'm mistaken. I am here to learn. Istimsak Abdulbasir On Sun, Jun 30, 2013 at 11:36 AM, Scott Kitterman <[email protected]>wrote: > I think you're missing the point.
