hi, just read on heise that X.org 7.1 has been released... but when I look at suse supplementary, it looks as if version considerations stopped at 6.8.2... any particular reasons? any chance at all to get 7.1 packages for 10.0, or even 9.2, somewhere? bye, MH -- Die unaufgeforderte Zusendung einer Werbemail an Privatleute verstößt gegen §1 UWG und §823 I BGB (Beschluß des LG Berlin vom 2.8.1998 Az: 16 O 201/98).

News was a bit faster published than source code. Probably because news article is smaller and propagate faster ;-) The 7.1 source wasn't published yesterday, it appeared today on ftp://ftp.x.org/pub Well technically May 22, 2006 23:30 was yesterday, but I don't hang out that late :-) -- Regards, Rajko.

I think you will have to wait till SUSE 10.2. IIRC it was told already on this list that the change of structure of X from monolithic to modular affects the system somewhat, so they are sticking with 6.9 for now. I do hope they use 7.1 in 10.2. Meanwhile, since Fedora 5 uses X 7.0, I gotta reboot to there to check if updated RPMs are available... -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.51 on SUSE Linux 10.1 $ date [] CCE +2006-05-23 W21-2 UTC+0530

There is zero (0) difference between 6.9 and 7.0, except for the build
system. Thus 6.9 was chosen for SL10.1, because the build concept is
well understood and working.
I guess you can see 7.1 packages for SL10.1 (maybe 10.0) from Stefan
pretty soon. But that's speculation.
