[CFT] Xorg 7.5.1

Hash: SHA1
Oy boys and gals,
The Xorg T(m)eam is happy to announce the next round of Xorg fun! The X-Server
has been patched to the latest 1.7.X series, drivers and fonts have been
updated to the latest versions, but unfortunately we are not able to update libGL,
drm and xorg-server to a higher version because FreeBSD doesn't support GEM/KSE
(yet), but it looks good for now, as kib@ is working on that, so we hope the future
will be better for us. This update includes some components from Xorg 7.6 with a lot of
improvements, and it seems that the performance is much better than the old version.
We are calling the update xorg 7.5.1.
We hope you will enjoy the new stuff and give us a lot of feedback. We will start an
exp-run tonight and depending on how much feedback we get, we plan to commit this
update by the first weekend of March. A note for ATI users, the driver was updated to
6.14.0, so you may need to add some stuff to your xorg.conf in the "Section "Device""
Option "int10" "on"
Option "BudType" "PCIE"
Option "RendrAccel" "on"
Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
Option "DynamicPM" "on"
Option "DRI" "on"
So to get the xorg stuff you will need to:
run
svn co https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/ports/branches/xorg-dev
A small merge script to merge the svn checkout into the real portstree
can be found here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~miwi/xorg/xorgmerge
The script is a modified version of the kdemerge script. Please set the
KDEDIR variable to the path of your X.org ports.
After merging, run one of the following command, depending on which tool
you use to manage your installed packages.
portupgrade -a \*
portmaster -a
Please report any problems and issues to x11 (at) FreeBSD.org.
I would like to thank:
Beat Gaetzi
Dima Panov
Koop Mast
Eitan Adler
Without these people the Xorg update would still not be ready now.
PS: Please don't send us mails with 'xorg update dosen't' work.
If you send us a report, please include the latest Xorg.conf
Xorg.log, uname -a output and pkg_info output. Thanks.
Happy Updating!

Should be "BusType" and "RenderAccel". Except for BusType and
DynamicPM, those are defaults.

I've successfully upgraded on 8-stable i386 with intel video driver.
I'm didn't measured anything but subjectively new windows (xterm f.e.)
appears more faster than in xorg 7.5.
Thanks!
PS. There was couple of warnings about missing `xmlto` and not-existing
--enable-malloc0returnsnull option.

No problems noticed on an Intel GM965/GL960 chipset with
xf86-intel-2.7.1_4.

Works fine (barely tested) on an Atom netbook with Intel graphics,
Mobile Intel 945GSE.

x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati is missing the files directory and the
patches in it. Once those are added and the driver reinstalled, it
works fine.

Working well here -- I see and "feel" noticeable improvement in screen
drawing and interactivity with window items. Page scrolling in Firefox
seems faster. Of course, it could be rather subjective :)
An interesting thing as well, which I wasn't expecting: ACPI
suspend/resume support has dramatically improved in speed and
resilience. It takes just about a second for the display to come back
on after resuming, where it would take between 3 to 5 seconds prior to
the update. Cool :)
A big "Thank You" to all of you!

Just to clarify, just in case.
Do you specifically mean systems with Intel video hardware?
Because I've been using mesa 7.8.2 for quite a while here with radeon hardware and
I haven't seen any problems from that.

Hopefully the kib's work will bring results sufficiently soon.
Otherwise we might want to consider WITHOUT_INTEL similarly to WITHOUT_NOUVEAU.

Works perfectly fine here on: 9-curent and 2 8-stable amd64
all with nvidia-driver-270.26.
notice: nvidia-driver must be recompiled after update.

raise cpu usage to 100% after few hours, which sometimes resulted in
system deadlock if not caught in time. after the update i've had no
problems yet, and uptime is now 17 hours
i can't say about an overall performance upgrade, but the one above
already looks to me a great result

it's working fine for me even without recompiling

Works fine here on 9-current amd64 with a GeForce Go 7300
(xf86-intel-2.7.1_4) and a ati r710 (xf86-video-ati-6.14.0)
Thanks !

yes, after some hours it started complaining, and rebuilding fixed it
