Corrected, via a combination of rebuilds, a new wacom upstream version, and (temporarily) dropping -siliconmotion and -openchrome from xserver-xorg-video-all. The proprietary fglrx and nvidia drivers obviously don't work against this new Xserver. Due to packaging bugs, they *also* won't prevent the upgrade going through, leaving a non-functioning X until they are removed. Please remove the fglrx or nvidia drivers before testing. If you're not using a proprietary driver, -siliconmotion, or -openchrome, xorg-edgers is good to go. > Bryce > > On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 04:13:48PM -0500, Felix Kuehling wrote: > > Hi Bryce, > > > > The PPA is still not usable: > > > > xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion, openchrome and vmware are broken > > (still depend on the old xorg-video-abi-8.0). > > > > If I try to remove them, other packages break due to unresolved > > dependencies: > > > > * xserver-xorg-video-all depends on xserver-xorg-video-* > > * xserver-xorg depends on xserver-xorg-video-all > > * xserver-xorg-core depends on xserver-xorg-video-all > > > > In the end the only way to resolve the broken dependencies is to not > > update at all or completely uninstall Xorg. > > > > Similar story on the input side with xserver-xorg depending on > > xserver-xorg-input-all depending on xserver-xorg-input-wacom, which is > > broken due to a dependency on an old xorg-input-abi-11.0. > > > > Regards, > > Felix > > > > On Fri, 2011-01-14 at 15:54 -0500, Bryce Harrington wrote: > > > We're going to be moving natty to its new X stack within the next week > > > or two.
