Problem with xorg 1.15 upgrade
Hello everyone,
I have to upgrade xorg to the version 1.15 because the latest catalyst driver is compatible with this version of xorg.
But when i try to upgrade using pacman and xorg115 repo there is a problem of compatibility with xorg and xf86-video-intel driver.
Is there anyone who know to solve this problem?
thanks
p.s.: i have a radeon card model 8470 with driver catalyst-total-pxp 14.4-21

Why do you have the intel driver installed?

Well then, I would expect the repo to provide the things that need a specific version of xorg, but if it doesn't, you'll have to build the package yourself.

Re: Problem with xorg 1.15 upgrade
Have you placed the [xorg115] entry above all the other repositories (or above [extra] at the very least) in /etc/pacman.conf?
The only thing I can think of is that you placed [xorg115] below [extra] (resulting in [extra] taking priority over [xorg115]), where placing [xorg115] above [extra] results in [xorg115] taking priority.
The Intel driver is definitely in the [xorg115] repository.
