Well, I said I'd try and go for a Wednesday release and for people in America - I went one better with a Tuesday release (sorry for everyone else... but Wednesday it is!).
I've tested the magic installation on both Pro and Home editions and got only very minor bugs (mainly typos -- which have been fixed). Everything seems to work great - VNC still works... all resolutions still work. The only thing is, there is _still_ the bug of quitting Xfree then reloading it (colours go all weird and then the screen totally turns to garbage requiring a reboot).
Of course, since we now have Xorg... we can do things like drop-shadows... however, since we dont have accelerated graphics this is almost useless (takes up 90% of CPU constantly)... but for anyone wondering what it looks like:
So, without further stalling... run magic NOW to upgrade to Xorg!
Please report any bugs and any successes to me!
*Update*
A few people have contacted me saying they don't notice any difference. This to me is either the biggest compliment someone could have given... or the biggest worry (depending on whether it worked or not!). So, if you want to know if it has worked - run "startx" from within a console (whilst X is already running). If you see the following, it has worked:
Xbox root # startx
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.X.Org
for help.
Note that it says "X.Org" rather than "XFree".
