Experimental Xorg 7.3 packages for Feisty

Warning: This is for testing only! Expect to screw up your X if you try this out. This page is meant to help testing of new upstream versions, to see if they fix Ubuntu bugs. If they do, a fix might be backported to the official packages, or they will be available in the next Ubuntu release.

Ross Burton has a repository for new Xorg packages built for feisty: http://www.burtonini.com/debian/feisty/ You can either install the Xorg 1.3 server packages one by one:

xserver-xorg-core_1.3.0.0.dfsg-1feisty1_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-core-dbg_1.3.0.0.dfsg-1feisty1_i386.deb

or, to avoid manual dependency and version tracking, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.burtonini.com/debian/ feisty/
deb-src http://www.burtonini.com/debian/ feisty/

and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

ati drivers

For ATI cards, get a test build of 6.6.191, patched for bug #22985, from http://tormod.webhop.org/linux/ati/

xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.6.191-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

intel drivers

Robert's repository includes the newest intel drivers such as xserver-xorg-video-intel

savage drivers

Might come soon. Tell TormodVolden if you are interested.

Uninstalling, reverting

Please keep track of which packages you install. The easiest way to revert to standard Feisty, is to uninstall the packages sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-core etc, etc, and clean up /etc/apt/sources.list if you changed it, and reinstall from normal repositories: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
