New xorg-server for testing in ~arch
I just committed xorg-server 1.4.0.90, which is a prerelease for 1.4.1. Here's the Gentoo ChangeLog:

Bump to 1.4.1 release candidate. It's gotta be an improvement over 1.4, so i'm letting it go into ~arch.

(#192221) 'xorg-server-1.4 - keyboard LEDs do not work' fixed upstream.

(#201047) 'xorg-server 1.4 no longer loads xmodmap via xinitrc properly' fixed upstream.

(#197104) 'xorg-server-1.3 and 1.4 consumes 100% CPU, locking the keyboard, apparently triggered by opening an OpenOffice pulldown menu' fixed with patch from master branch.

(#196019) 'xorg-server creates unnecessary file /etc/X11/X11/Xsession.d/92xprint-xpserverlist' fixed by not installing the same file twice to 2 different places (Andy Crook).

(#195886) 'xorg-server-1.4.0-r2 built with hal USE flag crashes on shutdown if dbus service is not running' fixed upstream.

(#195551) 'xorg-server-1.4 fails to build w/kdrive on amd64' fixed with Makefile.am patch designed for easier sed but unsuitable for upstream because the line gets too long (Michael Gorse).

(#194503) Don't spit versions when showing drivers to rebuild via qlist, and also provide a command for people to do it themselves later.


The upstream X.Org change list is available here.

It's a shame that 1.4 even got released with this bug:
(#192221) 'xorg-server-1.4 - keyboard LEDs do not work

they didn't even released a bug fixed version immediately after that desaster went out. Which really, really sucked. And still sucks.

Glad it got fixed, but there is still no 'final' version. Sucky sucky suck suck.

Not your fault Donnie, just some ranting about the lazy ass, stupid Xorg guys ;)

Btw, you look great - for a geek ;)
