| Hello,
my congratulation to the team too. However I was not as fortunate as the
Sean.
What about the xlibmesa-glu packages? Can we expect them to enter the
archive again? Else I have to remove some of my shiny GL applications
(crystalspace, freewrl, libdevil,...)
Greetings Ben

Build-dep on "libglu1-xorg-dev | libglu-dev", and it should work.

Me too, at least on this machine I had to explicitly install
xserver-xorg to complete the move. BTW, I see the rendering of some ttf
fonts looks not so good. For instance I used happily this resource:
XTerm*Font: -monotype-andale mono-medium-r-normal--15-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-15
and the visual quality of that font is now less good.

Same for -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*.
The hinting defaults for TrueType fonts probably changed.
Apart from that, the transition went fine. (For a couple of days,
I've been struggling with ion3 and it's effect on mouse focus, but
this is unrelated.)

My only gripe is that the upload did not have pciids for
radeon X700 etc.

The server hasn't been modularised yet, it's just that I split up all
the packaging. I've been working closely with Josh Triplett on the
libraries, and keeping David fully in the loop with everything I'm doing
in Breezy, and I'm pretty sure that we're going to arrive at a common
base for packaging when Debian gets over to the modular tree.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for clarifying the topic.=20
About the split up, is there a consensus in what to install exactly ? See,=
=20
the user will install all the packages related to video drivers and dexconf=
=20
will do its job and it's up to the user remove what is not needed ? I'm ask=
ing
about Debian, because i guess that in Ubuntu you'll autodetect as much as
possible in the install and just keep there what's necessary maybe using a
different approach if the user change his video card, plug a new input devi=
ce
or whatever.
Closing, what are the side effects (if any) that this split up and
modularization will
put on the loop for stuff like lessdisks and ltsp ?

It's exciting stuff, but my primary goal is to get the current X.Org
release in to etch.

Yes, Daniel and I have been working closely together, and while I haven't
looked at the modular stuff yet, it's very much something I want to see
done in Debian if possible. I may produce one more set of monolithic
packages (6.9 series) to tide us over during the modular transition, but if
I do it's likely that these will be unofficial unless for some unexpected
reason we're not able to complete the transition to the modular tree for
etch.

Thank you very much.

Yes, several people have reported this issue, and I plan to look in to it
as soon as the packages are updated to build properly on all arches where
they've failed.

Thank you very much :-) Hopefully we can get them moving in to etch and
then push ahead towards getting the upcoming X.Org release in to the
archive as close to its release date as possible.

I also get screen corruption with the Radeon driver:
http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/Screenshot.png
Galeon is also similarly afflicted. It's either a GTK+ bug, or a
Radeon bug (ati driver).

Yes! I am in the same boat and as ecstatic about said X.org X server.
But, I don't see the rendering problems others see. Of course I have an
Oxygen card. Old, costly, but still damn fast 5 years later. Faster in
some operations than the new ATI and nVidia cards. But generally overall
slower than them, but not much.

For the time being -- both in Debian and in Ubuntu -- everything will
continue to be installed. It's more about not having to update
everything at the same time, really.

| FWIW, I previously had xorg from Ubuntu installed, and upgrading from
that to Debian's xorg _didn't_ go smoothly: the file "/etc/X11/Xsession"
was created by two packages, x11-common [debian], and xorg-common
[ubuntu], and in upgrading tried to install x11-common before removing
xorg-common.
I ended up downgrading to xfree86 from testing, and then upgraded back up
to xorg from unstable (and all that went smoothly).
[I know none of that is supported, but just FYI... :-]

Also congratulation from me too. I thought of many think that whould be
broken but only few packages I liked very much did not work anymore as
they need xlibmesa-glu:
xine
openuniverse
planetpenguin-racer
audacity
flightgear
ssystem
stellarium
xscreensaver-gl
I will try to make a dummy-package which provides xlibmesa-glu and
depends on libglu1-xorg. ;-)

Please don't do this. We're trying to transition the libglu1-xorg packages
and the above packages should be fixed by their respective maintainers in
time.

Why do people think that xorg broke library dependencies for our
entertainment, and that patching over the dependencies is an ok solution?
The package name changed because it is *not* *compatible*. No one said the
C++ transition was supposed to be fun, did they?

I'm mainly depressed that people aren't reading Planet Debian, or are just
ignoring it. Is there a better place to post this sort of thing so that
users don't keep repeating the same non-bug? The BTS obviously isn't
working for us here either, nor is posting to debian-x.
I think I'll have to put something in X.Org's NEWS.Debian about it at the
very least, but if anyone has any ideas for this, I'm all ears. I refuse to
resort to a debconf warning for this, but I'm running out of ideas.

Because there was no recent announcement on debian-devel-announce
which provided some guidance for this transition?
The packaging itself appears to be really nice, but this kind of
information seems to be a bit too hard to find at the moment.

Not a single developer has mailed either myself personally or debian-x to
ask how to go about this. Given that the C++ transition was already laid
out in full in debian-devel-announce, I assume that developers know what's
going on. It's the users who are clueless this time. That said, if any
developer does have any questions about the X.Org C++ transition I'd be
happy to answer them.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to describe the transition in a
short posting to debian-devel-announce.
Anyway, where on Planet Debian can I find this information? Is it in
one of the referenced blogs?

You could add a news item to NEWS.Debian which is removed before
release, I think (provided that apt-listchangelogs can handle this
situation).

Well, dosn't work either. It was just a idea that all the packages don't
get deinstalled and maybe can be used. Also pdl which is needed for
gimp-perl has wrong dependencies.

And yes, this information about some packages which could be brokesn
could be good filled in the NEWS.debian.

Well, true that kind is nothing to fill in the bts (Maybe for the broken
packages but not for X).

http://planet.debian.org. Specifically, I had a blog entry
(http://www.livejournal.com/users/gravityboy/16446.html) that referred to
this very problem. This isn't an official means of communication, but a
great number of users read the site and my hope has been that it would be a
good way to communicate directly with them. I still have a lot of faith in
this approach, but it's obviously no panacea.

I agree that d-d-a is probably reasonable for this. I'm sure it won't give
you 100% coverage, given that there are users posting to random lists like
debian-testing about the matter (...), but I imagine it will help more
people get a grasp of "unstable".

Hello,
I think you'll just need to accept that out of n users at least n/50
will not read wherever you put it and a (small) percentage of these will
pester you about it.
There is nothing to do about this except for writing a canned response
_once_ and resending it when necessary.
cu and- thanks, BTW -reas

Ok I can confirm that apt-get dist-upgrade does not remove
xserver-xfree86 and install xserver-xorg. I know that aptitude is the
way to go, but currently its ask for removing a good deal of more packages.
If interested I could replicate on a third box and follup a verbose report
on BTS. I'm not completely pesuaded it is not a transient issue, anyway...

I took a diff against current upstream and ended up with
same content with ati driver as with the diff that was
removed.
Took me less than two minutes to look up the exact upstream
revision in which changes against xf86PciInfo.h for example
were made:
http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/...h?r1=1.5&r2=1.6
Is there something I'm missing here?

I already applied a patch reported by Harald Welte to incorporate the X700
PCI ID's. This was uploaded in the -4 revision of the Debian packages a few
days ago.

Hello,
I was also using ubuntu's xorg on Sid, but unlike you I am still
unable to install xserver-xorg and xserver-common or even
xserver-xfree86 from testing. This means I can't run GNOME. Can you
help?

Er, well, what goes wrong?
I think I had to temporarily de-install a bunch of random Gnome packages
and the like too. Of course I just re-installed them after I was done.
I use aptitude BTW, which is generally a bit smarter about things than
other package managers.
