Hi,

i just submitted a xorg spell for the X.org X server[1], a full replacement
for XFree86. It works fine here (with some quirks in gnome 2.6 related
to keyboard which seems to be a gnome bug), so everyone is encouraged to
test it. The spell is in devel and test for now.

I noticed one sorcery problem after switching: changing the provider for
a service like X11-LIBS doesn't work too well, all spells still wanted
to install xfree86 when run with a cast -c.
I fixed it for me with a
$ sed -i 's/:xfree86:xorg:/'  /var/state/sorcery/depends
But there should definitely be a way in sorcery to do this, either with
a seperate command or automatically when sorcery detects you installed a
new provider (don't know how hard that would be).
