IMO, 7.3 is a regression on 7.2 in both reliability and functionality. The underlying problem seems to be that X.org are no longer doing any integration testing: They produce several hundred software packages but don't bother confirming that they actually work. My breakage list is: - 7.x introduced a whole pile of hard-wired modelines which can't be disabled without patching the source code. - xdm default directory was broken (later fixed) - Files installed into /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm broken (maybe fixed by above) - /usr/local/{share/examples,lib/X11}/xdm/Xresources was unparsable due to a block of missing lines - VTY/X11 switching on my ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M is dodgier (the display is corrupted more frequently) - system clock gets screwed up (it can lose several seconds during a VTY/X11 switch) - DPMS display off/on can corrupt display - The Xserver seems to call abort() when it should call exit() So far, I haven't found anything that is actually an improvement over 7.2. --=20 As a computing professional, I believe it would be unethical for me to advise, recommend, or support the use (save possibly for personal amusement) of any product that is or depends on any Microsoft product. --uxuisgdDHaNETlh8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHIO5T/opHv/APuIcRAjAuAKC3OvTGa5/iQ2xsaBDgtJ7yPvmi1wCgq/XI /R+bZpWet6KUGUUBDaOEojM= =NWZ5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --uxuisgdDHaNETlh8--
