Hi, you should install the newer 1.19 version, just use "zypper dup" - this is the preferred way to update tumbleweed anyway! We dropped the 7.6_ from the package version (1.18.4 -> 1.19.0) and it will not come back again, as it reflects a long outdated version of the Xorg stack (we at least have 7.7).

Hi,
I have a question regarding the x-server in Tumbleweed. What am I supposed to have installed?
Currently I do have xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.18.4-3.1.x86_64
It got installed January 11 during an 'zypper up', from tumbleweed/repo/oss.
If I use the OS package search, it tells me the official TW version would be 7.6_1.13.2. But if I do a zypper search, I get
woodstock:~ # zs -s xorg-x11-server S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository --+-------------------------+---------+----------------+--------+-------------------- i | xorg-x11-server | package | 7.6_1.18.4-3.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages) v | xorg-x11-server | package | 1.19.1-4.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE-20160815-0 v | xorg-x11-server | package | 1.19.1-4.1 | i586 | openSUSE-20160815-0
Why is my package installed from the official repo listed as 'System Package'? (Probably because it is no longer in the repo?) Should I keep the 7.6 one, or 'downgrade' to the (newer) 1.19.1? If I downgrade, how do I prevent the install of future 7.6 releases that seem to sneak in every now and then? (I have 6 updates of this package since Aug '16). Why is this happening on first place?
I noticed the issue because some not-installed xf86-* packages that were held back because the xorg is lacking the X11_ABI_XINPUT = 24.1 capability :o
Puzzled,
