As you may have noticed, ajax just announced the release of X.org X11R7.2.

There are a few things left to do for me before it is ready for inclusion in ports, some of them are: update a few ports, write minimal support for XORG_LITE, fix nvidia-driver, send a new tarball of the tree to kris to [...]

I’d like to kick in the butt that guy who decided that setting XKB_BIN_BASE to XKB_BASE as default was a good idea.

If you’re using X.org 7.2 from the experimental tree and you tried to use anything special in keyboard properties, you probably got an XKB error. I spent a significant amount of time trying to [...]

I’m finally back from France so I can focus on (important) work.

I’ve added compiz 0.3.6 to the exp tree and updated beryl to 0.1.4 (still have to add heliodor and aquamarine). I’ve also updated a few ports and fixed some issues (dri detection on !i386, removed sun drivers from the build on !sparc64). At the [...]

Didn’t take too long but still was a necessary step. At the same time I had to update Mesa ports to 6.5.2 (and create a missing libGLw port which was needed by a few ports). X.org 7.2 is due on the 11th of December so I guess we won’t have a release candidate again.
p. Kris [...]

I’ve been talking to Kris yesterday since the ports are almost ready, and he asked me to send him a tarball of the tree. After some INDEX commits fixes, I sent him one. Not sure when he will start building it on pointyhat since he’s currently travelling (everybody has the right to take some days [...]

As I said, I upgraded the beryl/emerald ports to 0.1.2 and pushed them to the shared git repository. It builds/packages fine but I actually haven’t run-tested them yet. This will have to wait a couple of hours again. I hope to get as many bugs reports (or better success reports) for beryl as I got [...]

i just pushed my local changes. Not much to say. There are still a few packing list issues with fonts. I’ll investigate this week end. Starting in 5 minutes, I’ll work on updating my beryl ports to 0.1.2 and create the missings ones.

Have a look at the x11@ archives for more information.

I’ve been quite lazy since I came back from EuroBSDCon. Things were in pretty bad shape when I left for Milan. The latest update of libX11 depended on libxcb which had a broken dependency on pthreads. Most xf86-input ports were broken after the latest inputproto update. I couldn’t build latest xorg-server because it required a [...]

After 3 days of fight with xorg-server, mesa, dri and beryl, I’ve finally managed to make it work on my Dell Latitude D620 (with Intel i945GM). Here is the screenshot. Agreed, there’s not much to see, and the screenshot isn’t the nicest one you have seen. The laptop is running -CURRENT with all the debugging [...]

I’ve tried to get things done lately. I’ve installed xorg-modular on two of my laptops. Worked fine so far, but maintaining it was a real PITA, since I had the new xorg ports in a separate stripped ports tree (with the only necessary ports to compile xorg).

I finally set up a cvs to git importer, [...]
