This support has only recently been added to the Linux kernel +(sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.30 and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5). +Thus, you will need to run a recent enough kernel to use recent versions of X11 +on an alpha. If you only start programs on your alpha, but the display is on +another machine, no upgrade is necessary. + +Furthermore, not all graphics card drivers have been updated to work with the +newer X server API. One example is the glint driver used for Permedia cards. The +upstream developers have been informed about this, but no fixes are available +yet, please see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21546 + +For a general guide to upgrading to Xorg 1.5, see the Gentoo upgrade guide: +http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.5-upgrade-guide.xml diff --git a/metadata/news/2009-07-12-xorg-74-alpha/2009-07-12-xorg-74-alpha.en.txt.asc b/metadata/news/2009-07-12-xorg-74-alpha/2009-07-12-xorg-74-alpha.en.txt.asc new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..e8d0a4f4f6e3 --- /dev/null +++ b/metadata/news/2009-07-12-xorg-74-alpha/2009-07-12-xorg-74-alpha.en.txt.asc @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- +Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) + +iEYEABECAAYFAkp9VOIACgkQA+4Doc5dVOgX5gCgjYJ8wbxQ2jjVg9phPTcj7Ndd +qc4Aniw7wmu6c+mVt2+LPCGksT5nic5Y +=w6WG +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
