Call for testing Xorg 7.5

[oliverh]

We’re happy to announce that Xorg 7.5 is ready
for public testing.

The ATI and Intel drivers were patched to work with
the new server, please report any problems to us!
The drivers for Vesa, NV and NVIDIA have been tested
thoroughfully and seem to work fine.

A note to FreeBSD 6.X users: Unfortunately you’ll have
to compile gcc 4.2+ first because the X.org Team doesn’t
support gcc 3.X longer, We strongly recommend you to
update your system to 7.x or above.

So if you want to see a rather smooth transition to Xorg 7.5, take some time and help them!

Just installed Xorg 7.5
So far no problem

I had problem, I couldn't use xv output in mplayer

xvinfo showed that there was no adapter for screen or something like that.
I reinstalled libxv, xf86-video-ati and mplayer,
don't know which was it, but now it works.

Probably I had to reinstall xf86-video-ati, because it wasn't updated by port

>Please report any problems and issus to x11 (at) FreeBSD.org.

Such a test, problem reports etc. are of almost no use in a forum. The more responses the better :-)

[graudeejs]

Yes, I did mail them.
Also I don't agree with you, next one who will update X and have ati, might not to guess, why mplayer don't work, because he might have read my post ;)

[oliverh]

Maybe, but it's the best for the devs. A very _small_ number of Xorg devs cannot spread arround the net to gather all possible information ;-)

[graudeejs]

I know. Like I said, I did mail x11 [at] FreeBSD.org
