Sad
It is really sad that none of the major distributions are stepping up and helping get xorg back on track. Right now, it seems to me that the driver developers just do their thing and never touch xorg-server either. This is fine as it may not be their forte.
I would really love to see a major distribution or even a hardware vendor step up and pay someone to work on getting xorg moving. I don't think there are any developers right now that work fulltime on xorg-server/core.

Edit: There's probably some other distros doing the same which I'm not familiar with. Software development takes its time, you can't rush it.Last edited by nanonyme; 19 August 2009, 10:27 AM.

Let alone their test release Fedora seems to be getting updates from new X.org versions just fine. Perhaps the real issue is that most binary distros are trying to be both conservative and bleeding-edge at the same time and then they're puzzled when it doesn't work?
RHEL is already doing this.
