| NVidia * [http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ nouveau] - the new, upcoming open source nvidia driver. Said to already have better 2D support than -nv, but needs integration and much testing. Radeon/ATI * [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/+bug/115188 fglrx unavailable in gutsy] - the fglrx is confused by xserver 1.3's version number. A patch exists, but we don't think we can legally distribute a patched fglrx. This needs to be resolved for Gutsy. == Teams == * ["XSwat"] - Xorg bug triage team == Blueprints == === Current Specifications === These specifications are likely to be included in an upcoming Ubuntu release. * ["Xorg7.3Integration"] - Integrate Xorg 7.3 components, adopt config autodetection * ["DisplayConfigGTK"] - New GUI utility for configuring Xorg * ["BulletProofX"] - Failsafe mode when X doesn't start, with displayconfig-gtk to configure * ["CompositeByDefault"] - Switch default window manager from Metacity to Compiz, use Beryl effects * ["XorgCtrlAltBackspace"] - Disable the Ctrl-Alt-Bksp shortcut * ["compiz-mag"] - Compiz-based magnifying glass for low vision users === Unfinished Specifications === These specifications need further discussion and drafting, but could be acceptable for future Ubuntu releases if this is done. * ["MouseExtraButtons"] - Enable extra buttons present on Microsoft Explorer mice * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/915resolutions-by-default 915resolutions by default] - 915resolutions should be automatically installed and configured when -intel is installed * ["UbuntuAutomaticKeyboardLayout"] - autoconfigure keyboard layout based on network information using Wheretero * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/compiz-switch-on-panel compiz-switch-on-panel] - Panel button to turn compiz on/off * ["FglrxLegacySpec"] - provide legacy fglrx driver for older hardware * ["LaptopVideoOutputControl"] - automatic plug-and-play projector support * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/logitech-g15-keyboard-drivers logitech-g15-keyboard-drivers] - G15 debs for Dapper exist; need added to universe * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/multi-monitor-config multi-monitor-config] - ["DisplayConfigGTK"] provides Dual-head, this would extend it to three or more monitors. === Duplicate/Obsolete Specifications === These X-related specifications are either superseded by other specs, have already been implemented, or are otherwise no longer relevant and need to be marked as such: * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xorg-config-ui xorg-config-ui] - superseded by ["DisplayConfigGTK"] and ["UbuntuAutomaticKeyboardLayout"] * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/autoconfigure-monitor-frequency autoconfigure-monitor-frequency] - superseded by ["DisplayConfigGTK"] * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/dual-head-display-settings-gui dual-head-display-settings-gui] - superseded by ["DisplayConfigGTK"] * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/dual-head-support dual-head-support] - superseded by ["DisplayConfigGTK"] * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/laptop-docking] - superseded by ["DisplayConfigGTK"] and ["dbus/hal monitor notification"] * [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/monitor-detect-adjust monitor-detect-adjust] - superseded by ["DisplayConfigGTK"] === Historical Specifications === * ["XRoadmap"] - Xorg 7.0, discusses the X modularization and XKB work (for Warty?) * ["XRoadmapDapper"] - Plans for continuing maintenance of X, Mesa packaging in Dapper |
