Originally posted by Ericg View PostEverything in Fedora gets 1 major upgrade in that release's lifetime. From kernel to mesa to KDE. So they could ship mesa 9.1 and upgrade to 9.2 upon release. Same with kernel, they'll ship 3.9 and upgrade to 3.10. But not 3.11 (or 4.0 depending on how Linus is feeling)

Fedora kernel is fairly close to upstream releases and can get more than one major release because backporting security and bug fixes is too much work for Fedora kernel maintainers. KDE has one major update because it is out of sync with Fedora releases and Mesa gets backported as necessary. The general guidelines and exceptions are at

Can someone please elaborate on what the current state of GLAMOR is?
Does it support multi-monitor configurations properly (zaphod, xinerama)?
At least zaphod mode wasn't supported not long ago (don't know about xinerama).
What about screen rotations? Does it work?
Thank you!Last edited by entropy; 30 March 2013, 06:24 AM.

Or is it a more severe 'permanent' tearing that stays on for the entire session even after the display has been refreshed?
I can live with the first, but the second one obviously makes the display unusable.Last edited by Sonadow; 30 March 2013, 08:40 AM.

Tearing is an incomplete update when something changes, see this example for how horizontal tearing looks like: http://community.avid.com/cfs-filesy...ng-example.jpg

At least, wasn't that the conclusion from "some other" thread?
Well, that probably adds some latency, but there is no free lunch, I guess.
I'm still eagerly waiting for information about GLAMOR's status
concerning multiple screens and screen rotations.
