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.
I can say that 2.1.3 works wonderfully on my laptop. No problems whatsoever.
I'm also going to note that I've read that evdev is eventually going to be the default for X to use. It might be wise to test it at least.
