Quoting George Sherwood <pilot AT beernabeer.com>:

I keep hearing of problems with some of the xorg-server spells in test.
There was definitely a problem with libxfont and a
missing header file. I reverted that, but I keep hearing grumbles that
there are more that are causing problems.

If needed we should revert as needed to get xorg-server working reliably
in test.

Currently the libxcb update is causing me major headaches. Most of my machines I ignore the update, but my work machine is halfway through and some of my important apps still aren't working (I can't even get tiff to compile). :/

xf86-input-evdev 2.1.3 causes X to crash within a few seconds, but that's only on one machine, I haven't tested the others. I recall hearing that 2.y branches from X.org, if y is odd, are the 'devel' branch, so we may want to avoid those.
