libxi-1.2.1-1 issues
Hi all!
I have 2 issues with keyboard indicator 2.24.3.1:
1) indicator keeps showing initial layout though actual layout gets switched
2) same layout is kept across different windows though appropriate option is enabled to have different ones
Before today i had libxi downgraded to 1.4.1-1
But after todays upgrade, gtk2-2.16.0-1:
:: gtk2: requires libxi>=1.2.1
Any solutions except downgrading them all?
Thanks!

Re: libxi-1.2.1-1 issues
xorg-server 1.6 (testing repo) solves this problem

@ NForce: You have to use catalyst 9.4 from AUR if you want to use xorg 1.6.

Re: libxi-1.2.1-1 issues
No catalyst 9.4 for me, i have an integrated r500 video card But i heard that it is possible to compile xorg-server 1.6 with catalyst 9.3 support, is that true?

You should have thought of that, before you bought an ATi graphics product.
Use the open-source radeon driver.
Support is very good up until R500 chipsets.

Open-source driver's performance is...ehm low.

Build the latest git version.
I have a few friends that use it, and their experience is very good so far.
CAUTION
I am talking about the ati-radeon driver, NOT the radeonHD.

Experience is good if not to play 3d games...The only reason i'm stuck with catalyst - is Urban Terror((( With ati-radeon driver i get 20fps, while with catalyst i get around 60-70

I do not think they play games.
However they have been running Compiz-Fusion all the time, with a very good experience.

That's true, KWin's performance with compositing on is the same or even better with open-source driver. Nevermind, when i grow up, i'll use the open-source driver
