XLibre Xserver
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Xlibre is a fork of the [Xorg Xserver](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver)
|
|
with lots of code cleanups and enhanced functionality.
|
|
|
|
This fork was necessary since toxic elements within Xorg projects, moles
|
|
from BigTech, are boycotting any substantial work on Xorg, in order to
|
|
destroy the project, to eliminate competition of their own products.
|
|
Classic "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics.
|
|
|
|
Right after journalists first began covering the planned fork Xlibre,
|
|
on June 6th 2025, Redhat employees started a purge on the Xlibre founder's
|
|
GitLab account on freedesktop.org: deleted the git repo, tickets, merge
|
|
requests, etc, and so fired the shot that the whole world heard.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views,
|
|
your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or
|
|
heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a
|
|
small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person.
|
|
Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome.
|
|
|
|
Together we'll make X great again!
|
|
|
|
Upgrade notice
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
* Module ABIs have changed - drivers MUST be recompiled against this Xserver
|
|
version, otherwise the Xserver can crash or fail to 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 to a version mismatch.
|
|
When unsure, it's best to be prepared to ssh into your machine from another one
|
|
or set a timer that's calling `chvt 1` after certain time, so you don't
|
|
need a cold reboot.
|
|
Or, make sure that you have magic `SysRq` key enabled (`Alt+PrtSc`)
|
|
via sysctl (`kernel.sysrq=1`), then press following combination depending on keyboard
|
|
layout to make kernel regain control over keyboard to make VT switching work:
|
|
- QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard layout: `SysRq + R`
|
|
- Dvorak/Colemak keyboard layout: `SysRq + P`
|
|
|
|
* Proprietary Nvidia drivers might break: they still haven't managed to do
|
|
even simple cleanups to catch up with Xorg master for about a year.
|
|
All attempts to get into direct mail contact have failed. We're trying to
|
|
work around this, but cannot give any guarantees. But you can make it work
|
|
by adding `Option "IgnoreABI" "1"` line to `ServerFlags` section in Xorg config.
|
|
|
|
* Most Xorg drivers should run as-is (once recompiled!), with some exceptions.
|
|
See `.gitlab-ci.yml` for the versions/branches built along with Xlibre.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Driver repositories
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Since Redhat had deleted and banned all X11Libre repositories from freedesktop.org,
|
|
the driver repositories are now moved to GitHub:
|
|
|
|
| Driver | Git repository | Release tag |
