Below I've listed my current understanding of where we are today. I
would like to get confirmation and/or updates on the status of each to
make sure that they are still on schedule.
1. Composite: The XAA wrappers plus the Composite extension will be
integrated by Eric Anholt today, and Deron Johnson will review the
code for any bug fixes or missing pieces later. Testing can begin
this weekend.
After talking with Keith Packard earlier today, he said that he would
work toward exposing the extra visuals from the extension instead of
globally to avoid the problems with Mozilla/Flash, etc. There is
also a hack that could be put into place in Xlib to work around this
problem, but that is not the desired solution.
2. XEVIE: The bulk of this code has been merged into the tree, but it is
still not hooked in (config/cf files, miinitext.c, etc.). Stuart
Kreitman said during the release wranglers' call this morning that he
would finish that code and get it checked in today. Testing can
begin this weekend.
3. New Trapezoid Render code: Keith Packard has checked in his code to
his kdrive tree and will be moving it over to the X.Org tree later
today. There are some bug fixes/optimizations left, which he will
complete next week.
4. ATI patches: Hui Yu has merged his code into the tree and it is
currently being tested.
5. Screen rotation code: Egbert Eich merged this code into the tree
earlier today.
6. Pseudocolor emulation layer: Egbert Eich merged in his pseudocolor
emulation layer code earlier today.
7. Extension enabling/disabling: Kevin Martin will finish this code as
discussed on today's release wranglers' call, and check it into the
tree tonight.
