https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D214591 Bug ID: 214591 Summary: x11-servers/xorg-server: Update to 1.18.4 Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Reporter: matthew@reztek.cz Flags: maintainer-feedback?(x11@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 177097 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D177097&action= =3Dedit update x11-servers/xorg-server to 1.18.4 I'm moving the local diffs I've been maintaining for far too long into PRs since the flow to and from the external repo has become too slow with only = two partially active members of graphics team remaining. I have tried to incorporate most of the work from the external repo that is ports-ready in = my local patches. It is my hope that making the changes available in reasonable chunks and visible in PRs will lead to quicker commit to the ports tree than leaving the updates to languish in an external repo. This patch is an update of Xorg server to 1.18.4 that has been in progress = for a solid year. There were previously reasons to not update Xorg server, such= as the Nvidia binary drivers and VNC servers not being compatible, but those blockers were resolved months ago. We had an opportunity to finally catch to current on Xorg server, but we missed that now that 1.19 is released. Since those same compatibility issues with modules will come up again, ther is no reason to rush for the new; we have plenty to gain from 1.19, e.g. much improved Glamor and integrated modesetting driver (an alternative to Intel = DDX, which could be the only possible remaining hold up). The main patch is a straightforward update that includes removal of a couple obsolete patches and the addition of a patch to fix an uninitialized variab= le. The experimental DRI3 present in the external repo is not included as the kernel DRM is not ready to support DRI3. Also, I have included a second pat= ch which makes xorg-nestserver and xorg-vfbserver slave ports, as they are in = the external repo, but application of that to the ports tree is optional; it ma= y be beneficial to be able to update those ahead of xorg-server, but hopefully we can keep all the Xorg ports reasonably up to date including xorg-server. QA: I have been running xorg-server 1.18.x on multiple 10-STABLE, and now 11-STABLE, amd64 systems with Radeon and Intel hardware since its release a year ago. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
