Dead.. when both KDE/GNOME compositors *both* can't turn on my DisplayPort on this laptop... Wayland is not ready, still. I can't switch to it at all.
Code:[ 126.282206] amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: amdgpu: SRBM_SOFT_RESET=0x00100040 [ 126.449983] [drm] Got external EDID base block and 2 extensions from "edid/Samsung-LC27G7xT.edid.bin" for connector "DP-2"
If nobody is going to release 1.21, maybe it's time someone took the reins of this, if its documented how the releases are made. I would if I had time...Last edited by spstarr; 13 April 2021, 04:28 PM.

But they are already maintaining the 1.20 releases anyway. If they are worried about the long term commitment, they can just announce a short-term support cycle for the 1.21. And even better - drop support for the old 1.20 in due time.
It just does not make sense to me. If I already have the code (1.21) , why not release it? It's not like they are legally required to provide support for it for the next 10 years.
If I were an Xorg developer, I'd much rather support the newer codebase than the old one, however messy it may be.
And while they may not personally have a legal obligation to provide support, those devs are all working for companies like Red Hat that do provide legal support agreements to their customers. If Red Hat wasn't paying them to work on X, they wouldn't be there at all. And Red Hat is just going to look bad if there's a new version of X out there that they don't pick up for their customers.
Besides, if they're going to push out an unsupported release, it's not clear how that's actually any better. People who are ok with using unsupported releases can already just compile the current code from git and have the same experience.Last edited by smitty3268; 13 April 2021, 02:04 PM.

While I don't think it would that big of a deal to name a release as v1.21, I don't think it's necessary either.
That said, it's not like v1.21 would have a code base newer than v1.20. It's the same stuff

all the X devs are tired of working on it so, as someone said before, Xorg is basically dead.

What's the difference?

Originally posted by MadeUpName View PostI recently did an upgrade to FC-34. I am running KDE on X-Wayland. This got me curious so I had a look and I have xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.10-5.fc34.x86_64 installed. I wanted to see what it would do if I tried to remove it as I assumed xorg-x11-server-Xwayland should be doing all the work now. But if I try to remove it it is going to take out my amdgpu driver. Is xorg-x11-server-Xorg really still a dependency if you are running xorg-x11-server-Xwayland or is there just an unnecessary dependency in the driver package?
