Gentoo news:
Pending upstream news.

Upstream news:
xlibs have gone through their 1.0 release, although problems still exist
(for example, libXt requires XFree86 to be installed to build properly,
although a fix is not difficult and initial patches have already been
made).

As for the xserver project, the kdrive architecture won't be turning
into a replacement for XFree86. However some work is being done to
import the XFree86 DDX into there, so drivers etc will build and work.

xserver.freedesktop.org and xlibs.freedesktop.org have more info.

Thanks,
Donnie
