New X.Org Driver Updates Roll Out For Xorg-Server 1.19 Support

In addition to the Radeon and AMDGPU DDX updates yesterday, other X.Org drivers are seeing releases this week in order to support the brand new X.Org Server 1.19.

xf86-input-keyboard, xf86-input-mouse, xf86-video-vmware, xf86-input-joystick, and xf86-input-synaptics are among the DDX drivers released this week for adding xorg-server 1.19 ABI support. Details on the other changes found on these new releases can be found via xorg-announce.

But more DDX drivers are still out-of-date for being able to support X.Org Server 1.19. Other currently broken drivers can be found via this mailing list message. Many of those remaining out-of-date are for vintage graphics cards, so we'll see if they get updated in time. It will also be interesting to see if Intel issues a new xf86-video-intel release candidate or the long-awaited xf86-video-intel 3.0.
