I agree on that. The issue is that meanwhile X11:XOrg depends on a recent kernel version, i.e. 2.6.36 or better 2.6.37rc5. At least for KMS drivers, which are the majority meanwhile (intel, radeon, nouveau).Not sure whether there are plans for recent kernel versions intumbleweed.
for the last several months i've been using kernels from Kernel:/HEAD and found them extremely stable. in spite of the often heard argument that they're unstable & under rapid development, i refuse to go back to the OSS kernel, since, specially combined with X11:XOrg, it's a significant performance improvement -- for what i'm doing. there may be other applications that have problems with the latest kernels and/or X11, of course.
i'm not sure if i'm getting the idea for/behind tumbleweed, but i imagine that Kernel:/HEAD & X11:XOrg (smapshot) would be appreciated by many who want to leave the security of the stable repo behind for better performance / features.
I'm using Kernel:stable instead, as that is a bit more "stable" than Kernel:HEAD at the moment.
Any pointers to a "stable" xorg repo I should be using to link from?
I guess that would be X11:XOrg, but as long as Xvnc is still missing that's not an option I'm afraid. I'll let you know once I have something which I consider useful. Probably not before January 2011. Best regards, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
