Upgrading Xorg, 7.3 or 7.4?

nero37 · Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2008 10:50 am Post subject: Upgrading Xorg, 7.3 or 7.4?

I want to upgrade Xorg but I cant decide which version to upgrade to, xorg-7.3 with xorg-server-1.4.2 or xorg-7.4 with xorg-server-1.5.1. I have a nvidia geforce 8600 GS with the latest beta nvidia-drivers. xorg-server 1.4 series has gotten more testing being standard in several other distros but i am still temped by the latest version. Is 1.5 significantly more buggy then 1.4 or is the performance/features worth it. Has anyone got any experience, advice or horror storys that could help.

Thanks

Don't know if it's more buggy, works fine here w/ Geforce 8800GT.

I know that there a little bug with XORG 1.5 when you compile it agains the Hal use Flag.

Also, maybe you will have a hard time with your keyboard layout.

One of my friend is having problem right now with that.
