[x11] Xorg 6.8.0

jochu · 2004-09-13 07:42:21

Yay! Package moved out of testing!

... but umm...

$ pacman -S xorg

Targets: xorg-11R6.8.0-2

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] 

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts... 
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  /usr/lib/libGL.la: exists in filesystem


errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

:shock: Is this supposed to happen?

jochu · 2004-09-13 09:12:36

I upgraded using force but now when I start X...

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error: No Symbols named "us" in the include file "pc/us"
> Exiting
> Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

[edit]: fixed it. xorg settings messed up. I set the XkbVariant wrong. (it was set to us when it was supposed to be set to err.. I have it blank right now.)

libGL.la problem?
do you use nvidia drivers?
you can force the install of xorg and it is possible that you have to reinstall the nvidia drivers with pacman -S nvidia
that should help
i try it this evening
with testing package it worked without rebuild

Maybe transset and xcompmgr should be add to extra/current?

I got it too, and I don't use nvidia drivers. I just forced it, and it works.
Did somebody put this in the bug tracker?

How to use xcompmgr and transset?
transset reports:
opacity 0xc0000000
Set Property to 0.75
and:
20:25:22 fopref@~ $ transset/transset
Found property: 0.75
opacity 0xffffffff
Set Property to 1

after clicking on a window.... and does nothing

xcompmgr reports:
No composite extension

in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR
(II) Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE
(II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE

Have you added the following to xorg.conf?

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection

Change:

Viola! (said the conductor)
Seriously, though, I found this out by backing up my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then running xorgconfig and checking the Driver field in the automatically generated xorg.conf file.

Does anyone have a problem with trying to switch VTs from within the new X.org? Another issue i am running into is trying to run x.org with mergedfb, supposedly it should work, but it is not recognizing my second monitor. Weird.

kakabaratruskia · 2004-09-15 20:26:01

I tried downloading 6.8.1, but it looks like they haven't uploaded it yet.

mak · 2004-09-15 20:31:45

i have started the SINGLE-bz2-file, but now the whole sub-dir is gone ...
however i did finish the 35k patch, they also released, must also be a FIRST-time.

hopefully the dir will come back

mak · 2004-09-16 19:09:07

looks like xorg-6.8.1 is BACK.

u can download it at: http://freedesktop.org/~xorg/X11R6.8.1/src/
there a multiple versions to get the src this time.

... hope they keep this up >> 40mb-bz2-file !!!

is the latest arch package 6.8.1-1 or 6.8.0-3 - if you see what i mean? don't tell me someone added the new package but missed the security patch?

mak · 2004-09-17 17:15:49

hiho.

it's 6.8.0-3 without the libXpm-security fix as far as i see,
that's why i posted the link to 6.8.1, however i'm not SO sure
that this is the _final_ version of 6.8.X ...
'cause it had been released - unreleased and released again ... :?

the xorg-devs aren't sure either i think ...
