X.Org X11R7.1 update status

Hi all,

the update to X.Org X11R7.1 is  already usable and complete, afaics. You might 
want to apply all patches from the X.Org X11R7 update queue and give it a 
try. Don't forget to remove the libxtrans and xorg packages afterwards, 
before building anything.

I've found only one showstopper so far: xorgcfg and X -configure don't work. 
On my machine and in qemu, both only leave a black screen and don't produce 
any xorg.conf file. At least I could still reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Del... 
I probably don't have to tell you that this sucks big time :/

So the only way to get a working xorg.conf was to adapt the one from my 
X11R6.9 installation: the RgbPath must now look like
	RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/share/X11/rgb"
and the ModulePath, if set, must point to
        ModulePath "/usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules"

Also make sure that you have the line
	<dir>/usr/X11R7/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
in /etc/fonts/local.conf (and run fc-cache afterwards), or else all characters 
will appear as squares in KDE... Of course this is already done in my update 
patches.

Btw. the new location of Xorg.*.log files is /usr/X11R7/var/log/.

Have fun,
	Stefan Fiedler
