[REPO] Upgrade your EDGY to Xorg 7.2 - a new X server for "stable" version

[Treviño]

Exactly that...

BTW, I've updated the xorg packages, you should have downloaded them yet from my repo... They include now the patch to fix the memory leak of bug 92882

Let me know if you see a performance increasement

I'm not sure about the performance increase just yet but it appears the memory leak is gone.

Thank you, Treviño!

The command

glxgears

used to output the frames per second. Then some time ago it was changed to

glxgears -printfps

(among others). Someone wisely decided that's the whole reason anyone runs it in the first place so now we're back to

glxgears

with no parameters required for fps.

Oh, that's kinda stupid of me. Should have let it run for more than 5 seconds Actually I had just memorized -printfps. When I first started using linux it wasn't necessary (As you say)

Works good for me, on Edgy... Beryl 0.2 works too. But I had to recompile the nvidia driver again for some reason tho.

I used Envy to do that and it works great.

I just had Update Manager update my Xorg files. What can I do to reinstall these files? Whenever I try to run the commands again I get errors (because I think it is already installed of course).

never mind all is working well now

Hi Treviño!...thanks for putting in the effort with the Edgy Xorg 7.2 repository. I'd really appreciate it if you could compile the same tweaked version for Edgy PPC; after I discovered that the ATI drivers work on the LiveCD of Feisty Herd 5, on 7.2, I realized this is going to be my last hope to use Beryl on a fully-supported version of Ubuntu for my architecture! Would you be willing to do this?

Thanks!

I've no ppc hardware so I can't do it... Is there a way to compile for another arch?

Perhaps I spoke too soon. Xorg is up to over 300 MB after 24 hours. Will keep an eye on it.

EDIT: Reinstalled the "xserver-xorg" and "xserver-xorg-core" packages and 24 hours later Xorg usage is 78 MB and holding.

I'll have to look into that, but is there any way for you to host the modified source files, or to go into any detail about how you managed to edit the versions to avoid conflict? I could compile it myself and try it out if you were able to do that.
