[gentoo-user] Upgrade of xorg-server

[gentoo-user] Upgrade of xorg-server

[econti]

Hi all
I should upgrade xorg-server from 1.3.0.0-r2 to 1.3.0.0-r4.
But I read in another mailing list that the new version of xorg-server 
has some (many?) bugs.
Is this true also for the gentoo version? Should I wait before upgrading?

Regards

emilio

'new version' means 1.4. And yes, 1.4 has some annoying bugs - like the leds 
of the keyboard not working anymore.

Strange, updating the 1.4 caused my keyboard leds to START working !

It's my wireless mouse that stopped working right but that appear to be 
a hal issue

Same here.  My LEDs indicators were wrong prior to 1.4 but are working
now.

There was a 'BadAlloc' problem with some apps (e.g. Java) with the
release earlier last week, but it has since been fixed in portage.

which 1.4? It only started to work with 1.4.0.90 for me.

Same here.

I can't be certain which version exactly as I usually don't bother 
looking at keyboard LEDs much, but looking at my emerge history I'd say 
that was the version that fixed things.
