Updated 6.9/7.0 schedule

As noted in earlier e-mail discussions, we are continuing work toward a
combined 6.9/7.0 release of the monolithic tree (6.9) and the modular
tree (7.0). There are two major tasks to finishing the 6.9/7.0 release.
First, the initial development of the modular tree needs to be completed
and, second, we need to stabilize the trees for release.
Much of the initial development is already complete in the modular tree
for the proto and lib modules, and the xserver, driver and font modules
are nearing completion. Much hard work has been done to get us this far
and we are confident that the remaining pieces will be in place shortly.
Here is an updated schedule for completing the initial development of
the specific modules:
24 Jun 2005: lib, doc, font modules
1 Jul 2005: xserver, driver modules
15 Jul 2005: app module
The target for this initial development is to have a functionally
complete system that builds and runs on at least one platform (where
platform is defined as an OS/architecture combo -- i.e., Linux/x86,
Solaris/Sparc, etc.). Other platforms can be added as the developers
for those platforms have time during the 6.9/7.0 schedule. We hope to
have as many platforms supported as possible for the release and those
that are not complete by then can be added during the 7.1 development
cycle (*).
After the initial modular development is completed, we will cut the
first release candidate (RC0) for both the modular and monolithic trees.
To achieve that, we need to have the feature freeze for the monolithic
tree in the next few weeks, which will allow it to stabilize for the
first release candidate. We also need to get starting on resurrecting
and expanding the testing procedures we used last time (**).
Here is an updated release schedule with annotations for tasks that
should be worked on and/or completed by the dates listed:
4 Jul 2005: Feature freeze for the monolithic source tree
- Check into the monolithic tree all features that are to
be included in the 6.9 release
- Set up test procedure for the release
- Continue development on the modular tree build system
as described above
15 Jul 2005: RC0
- Test monolithic tree and fix bugs in preparation for
initial release candidate
- Have regular builds of monolithic tree via Tinderbox
going for as many supported platforms as possible
- Continue development on/debugging of the modular tree
build system as described above
19 Aug 2005: RC1
- Fix build/run problems in modular tree for as many
platforms as possible
- Add regular builds of modular tree via Tinderbox
- Test both modular and monolithic trees
- Fix all bugs that are found (no restrictions)
9 Sep 2005: RC2
- Continue testing and fixing bugs
- Start limiting the bugs to the more critical bug fixes
- Begin preparing the release documentation
23 Sep 2005: RCfinal
- Critical bug fixes only
- Begin working on press releases (PR text, quotes, etc.)
- Finalize documentation
30 Sep 2005: X11R6.9/X11R7 Release
- Critical documentation updates only
- Preparation for release (tagging, creating tarballs,
getting mirror sites set up, finalizing release etc.)
We will use each of the dates listed above as a check point to make sure
we are on schedule. The 15 Jul 2005 date was chosen for the first
release candidate for two reasons: the modular tree should be complete
and functional by then and it immediately precedes the Desktop
Developers conference in Ottawa. Many developers will be attending this

I have a Radeon Mobility 9200 and I'm trying to get DRI to work. I have=20
loaded dri module and have the mode set to 0666. Oddly, the first time I=20
attempted to get it to work, it did, but I had it in 16 depth for color.=20
When I changed it to 24 depth, DRI wasn't enabled any longer. Switching bac=
k=20
to 16 doesn't re-enable it and I can't get it to come back. From my Xorg lo=
g=20
file though:
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] Mapped 32 vertex/indirect buffers
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 11
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] Initialized kernel GART heap manager, 5111808
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled
(=3D=3D) RandR enabled
And yet when I run glxinfo it says DRI is not enabled, and glxgears only=20
gives me 200 fps (should be 1000). Any help would be appreciated.
