Hi guys, May I ask if we have made the decision already?
PS: We're developing x driver for arm devices on Ubuntu Karmic and going to to move to Lucid ASAP. As EXA and XRandR are in active development, we haven't enough time to support various versions of them - these two extensions are evolving too fast, aren't they. :) >From a driver developer view (instead of LTS), we prefer the latest version because that means we could put more time on functionality implementation instead of spending time in back porting EXA/RandR patches. Anyway, either is fine as long as it's in LTS.
