[TESTING REQUEST] Xorg in -current (yes, again)

EDIT!! Thse links are no longer valid, as the -current tree has all of this (or newer) in it now.

HTTP: link removed
RSYNC: link removed

Install glew (it's new, needed by mesa).
Upgrade everything else *EXCEPT* the intel driver.

The 2.8.0 intel driver is perhaps worth a test, but frankly, I don't give a rat's rectum whether it works UNLESS the 2.7.1 driver that's in the stock -current tree doesn't work for you.

Working great for me, using all of those packages except 2.8 driver.
Performance in Extreme Tux Racer is up, compositing is working in KDE again (in -current xorg-server 1.6.2 breaks it for me).
I have an Intel 945GME, using UXA and KMS (custom kernel).

To clarify something:
I *really* need testing with the stock kernel and such - not custom configs and kernels.
I'm not saying that other feedback isn't useful -- it IS -- but the primary concern is this:
If we were to ship this stuff in 13.0, would it work "out of the box" on your hardware?

Works here.
Slack64-C
AMD 7750
GeForce 7300 / x86_64-185.18.14
Stock Kernel

Installed everything @:
http://connie.slackware.com/~rworkma...esting/x86_64/

Thanks for a great distro!!!

Slackware64-current
GeForce 7300 LE with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run
2.6.29.6 kernel

I no longer have the desktop cube effects.
All else seems OK at this time.

Did you reinstalled nv proprietary drivers after upgrading?

New testing branch don't break anything here(ATI Xpress 200M), unless 50 more FPS in glxgears

Did you reinstalled nv proprietary drivers after upgrading?

Ah no!
My bludner. All OK now. Thanks grissiom!

glxgears shows ~1600FPS. (Seem to remember ~1520FPS before).

Hmm Savage S3 on a T21 does not report direct rendering at all (not no nor yes) but glxgears seems to work (~320fps).

That's the only thing I've noticed, but this is only on a test box and not in constant use.

Oh, good
Thanks Robby, very thanks

in notebook (with intel x3100) everything is back to work, with kernel huge and "my" kernel. I used all your packages

With "-current" xorg 1.6.2 not working composite and other problems
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...41#post3615041

in desktop (nvidia 6200) all ok, but in desktop everything works even with the -current packages

For me is a good update

everything working fine here on both slackware32 (stock kernel, nvidia) as well as slackware64 (custom kernel 2.6.30.1, nvidia)

I hope this will solve the composite problems Thank you robby...

EDIT: Yes, it works, thank you robby

That's my PC(Toshiba Satellite L300), well guys, they work perfectly, I even activated some desktop effects, just to see what the result was They work perfectly, I tested them with my custom kernel, and with the huge(2.6.29.6):

X.Org 1.6.1 still works wonderfully. Latest updates moved RC1
back a few weeks.

Works excellent. Tested with stock generic kernel 2.6.29.6-smp, kernel 2.6.30.3-smp (KMS enabled) and Intel-drivers 2.7.1 and 2.8.0 on EeePC901 with 945GME.

HW: amd780 integrated (hd3200)

No obvious lock-ups or unexpected error/warning messages in xorg.0.log.

One observation regarding xine in full screen: plays dvd but interactive menu and controls become sluggish or non-responsive. This using either xf86-video-ati (radeon) or radeonhd. I haven't seen this response with the open source or proprietary driver before with this hardware. I'll reboot in a few and try it with this same movie with other drivers.

The linked packages work perfectly for me with a stock -current tree on a MSI Windbox appliance. Well done, and in record time, too. Awesome effort.

[edit] Graphics hardware on the Windbox is Intel 945GME.
