Upgrade notice
--------------
* Module ABIs have changed - drivers MUST be recompiled against this Xserver
verison, otherwise the Xserver can crash or not even start up correctly.
* If your console is locked up (no input possible, not even VT switch), then
most likely the input driver couldn't be loaded due version mismatch.
When unsure, Better be prepared to ssh into your machine from another one
or set a timer that's calling `chvt 1` after certain time, so you'll don't
need a cold reboot.
* Proprietary NVidia drivers might break: they still haven't managed to do
do even simple cleanups to catch up with Xorg master for about a year.
All attempts to get into direct contact have failed. We're trying to work
around this, but cannot give any guarantees.
* Most xorg drivers should run as-is (need recompile!), with some exceptions.
See .gitlab-ci.yml for the versions/branches built along w/ Xlibre.
