I should have mentioned that I have an nvidia card.

If I take out the sections for my mouse and keyboard, xorg will configure them with no issues now?

I managed to downgrade by downgrading xorg-server as first package with "--nodeps". I assume unmerging xorg-server before re-emerging anything would do the trick too.

I just upgraded Xorg to 7.3. Everything is ok except one thing

One boot I show this message " "gdm" Uknown username on Message bus" . I havent seen that before. Any idea? I wonder why it says "gdm" since I am using KDE

I've updated to the new xorg-x11-7.3 and corresponding nvidia-drivers on both my machines, and noticed the same problem on both of them: compositing is ridiculously slow. My laptop uses openbox with xcompmgr and my desktop uses beryl; my terminal on both is a transparent borderless rxvt-unicode, and opening or resizing a terminal can take almost a second - the bigger the new size, the worse it is. During that time, one CPU core is going at 100%. Additionally, activating the transparent cube in beryl gives a noticeably bigger FPS penalty than it did before. Anyone else experiencing this issue or able to suggest a fix? My xorg.conf has not changed from xorg-x11-7.2, where it worked fine on both systems.

There's a message on the xorg mailing list about how this release was a bit munged. A lot of critical bugs weren't fixed and things weren't packaged properly. QA was severely lacking, probably because they tried to get the release out the door on the (already delayed) deadline. For me, it was broken out of the box, with numerous regressions worse than even 7.2. I'm still stuck on 7.1 because that's the only X server that has fast EXA + compositing. I really wish I could upgrade, but they have time and again failed to fix EXA slowness bugs that I have reported so many times on blogs, forums, mailing lists and bug reports. I watch the commit logs every day hoping that something is done, but I just doubt it. I guess I'm waiting for 7.4...

I dont see any difference from Xorg 7.2 FPS are as low as on 7.2 . Composite is still slow. In my opinion this upgrade was worthless. I am considering going back to 7.2

I thought 7.3 was going to also have an improved xrandr app, as well as the ability to change the resolution of your mouse.
