The State of X.Org

Posted by kdawson on from the marks-the-spot dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Phoronix has up an article looking at the release of X Server 1.4.1. This maintenance release for X.Org, which the open-source operating systems depend upon for living in a graphically rich world, comes more than 200 days late and it doesn't even clear the BugZilla release blocker bug. A further indication of problems is that the next major release of X.Org was scheduled to be released in February... then May... and now it's missing with no sign of when a release will occur. There are still more than three dozen outstanding bugs. Also, the forthcoming release (X.Org 7.4) will ship with a slimmer set of features than what was initially planned."

    At least I left out the one about Linux users never getting laid, and refrained from posting the daemon-girl vs linus and the fat kids photo site.

    I try to be as fair as possible in my bigotry :-p
