Re: Modular X installation results

The upgrade to modular X went pretty well for me except for the fact

Hmm, that's odd. Both monolithic and modular X have an xorg-x11-xauth
package, so it should have gotten updated.
Current xauth is: xorg-x11-xauth-0.99.2-1
Does yum honour rpm Epoch tags properly I wonder? If yum ignores the
epoch on the package, then it would consider the new 0.99.2 version
to be lower than the old version of 6.8.2.
$ rpm -qp --qf '%{name}-%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}\n' \
xorg-x11-xauth-0.99.2-1.src.rpm
xorg-x11-xauth-1:0.99.2-1
The epoch is showing up in query, so I'd suspect a possible yum bug
perhaps.
What I immediately after reboot though was how slow my desktop has
become. Moving around a window on the desktop is now very jerky. Before
I saw the usual gtk refresh artifacts but the movement of the window
itself was smooth. I have DRI disabled because I don't care about 3D and
here is the device config I'm running right now:
Please report any driver performance or stability problems to X.Org
bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Be
sure to use bugzilla file attachment feature to attach your complete
X server log and config file as individual file attachments, then
mark the bug as blocking bug #1690, to ensure it gets looked at for
X11R7.
Hope this helps.
