[Bug 454294] [NEW] Request upgrading to 1.6.5 for Karmic

 

Public bug reported:

xorg-server 1.6.5 was released this week with only two MAJOR bugs fixed.
I highly recommended to upgrade to 1.6.5.

I am the submitter of Xephyr bug #24144 in x.org. This bug annoyed me a
lot and get fixed in both 1.6.5 and 1.7.0. And there's another very
important fix to a driver crash in 1.6.4.

Please see the official xorg-server 1.6.5 release notes:


This release fixes the fact that 1.6.4 would crash on drivers that
still tried to initialize the DGA extension. It also has a minor
improvement for Xephyr to support nesting within an existing window at
a different depth.

I'm not currently planning on doing a 1.6.6 release, but if there are
some 'really important' fixes needed, please post them to the wiki
page and you may convince me to reconsider.
