XLibre Xserver
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Xlibre project's fork of the Xorg xserver, with lots of code cleanups
|
|
and enhanced functionality.
|
|
|
|
That fork was necessary since toxic elements within Xorg projects, moles
|
|
from certian big corp are boycotting any substantial work on Xorg, in order
|
|
to destroy the project, to elimitate competition of their own products.
|
|
(classic "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics)
|
|
|
|
This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any
|
|
of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists
|
|
groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar
|
|
discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed.

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.
