xorg version is wrong?

[Darius Ivanauskas]

Hi All,

I just installed F7T2. And after all updates i tried to setup native ati driver. And I
failed it seems because of faulty X Window System version reported on latest xorg build.
Below is fragments of Xorg.0.log file. As you can see the "X Window System
Version" has same string as the xorg server version itself.
I suppose Xorg version should be 7.3 RC 2 or something from 7.X, but not 1.X ... :)

Regards,

I ran into the same thing.  Hopefully it's (not sure what it's is at
this point, xorg or ati) fixed by the time FC7 goes final.

Perhaps the 3rd party binary ATI driver (very much not "native") installer is 
dumb and should look at the X Protocol Version rather than the server 
version.  Just a thought, I'm sure Adam has a better one.

The server's version number _is_ 1.2.99.902.  The X server's version
number has been decoupled from the Xorg katamari number since 7.0, it's
just that now the log is printing the server number.

I'll check with upstream to see if there's a cleaner way of printing the
log message, but it's almost certain that the fglrx installer will need
updates.
