    Further I have one last question if you would indulge
    Do the supporting libraries/interfaces differ so much that it will require apps to be recompiled/relinked to be able to run accelerated under the new environment?

    ...
    I don't know about closed driver but i think they use their own libgl so their should not be any problem.

    App doesn't need to be recompiled, this interface change are btw the mesa driver and the X server, app never see this layer directly, they call into libGL.

      I second that having a good tutorial for less experienced users about how to recompile Xorg from git would be most appreciated. I can redo drm, mesa, ddx just fine, but even following the directions here http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide I could never get a new xorg which worked 100%.

      Debian and other distros are also only shipping the stable Xorg branch, 1.4, so this would be nice for many reasons.

        If we de have enough time to write better doc we would likely already have newest code in distrib
