Awesome, thanks for taking this on! Hydra has been building this (along with the pulseaudio, gstreamer, and libvpx updates) on the 'media-updates' branch. One problem that has turned up is that 6 of the video drivers you updated no longer build, because our local patches no longer apply cleanly to them: http://hydra.gnu.org/build/1039955 (xf86-video-mga) http://hydra.gnu.org/build/1037199 (xf86-video-r128) http://hydra.gnu.org/build/1036050 (xf86-video-siliconmotion) http://hydra.gnu.org/build/1034473 (xf86-video-tdfx) http://hydra.gnu.org/build/1040961 (xf86-video-trident) http://hydra.gnu.org/build/1043614 (xf86-video-vmware) There's another video driver that you didn't update, but that no longer builds against the new xorg-server: http://hydra.gnu.org/build/1042309 (xf86-video-voodoo) Updating these poorly maintained video drivers has always been the biggest hindrance to updating xorg-server, and is the reason that my last attempt on the wip-xorg-server-1.17 branch stalled. Thanks, Mark
