    Only a few months late - not bad compared to some previous X servers.

    GOOD JOB, X folks.

      Kudos to Peter for taking this bull by the horns. It is too bad he didn't jump at it a couple of months earlier, or we might have seen 1.7 in the October refresh of Ubuntu. Oh well.

        With a reduced feature set. Seriously better this way. It's plenty more tiresome they keep dropping features out of releases than that they postpone releases imo.

          Does fglrx work with this? Don't want to mess around compiling it until I know

            Most likely not. I am guessing. But, you won't know for sure until someone tries it. Why not you?

              Not working with fglrx 9.5 but that was to be expected with a binary blob.
