Upgrade notice
-
Module ABIs have changed - drivers MUST be recompiled against this Xserver version, otherwise the Xserver can crash or fail to start up correctly.
- If your console is locked up (no input possible, not even VT switch), then
most likely the input driver couldn’t be loaded due to a version mismatch.
When unsure, it’s best to be prepared to ssh into your machine from another one
or set a timer that’s calling
chvt 1after certain time, so you don’t need a cold reboot. Or, make sure that you have magicSysRqkey enabled (Alt+PrtSc) via sysctl (kernel.sysrq=1), then press following combination depending on keyboard layout to make kernel regain control over keyboard to make VT switching work:- QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard layout:
SysRq + R - Dvorak/Colemak keyboard layout:
SysRq + P
- QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard layout:
-
Proprietary Nvidia drivers might break: they still haven’t managed to do even simple cleanups to catch up with Xorg master for about a year. All attempts to get into direct mail contact have failed. We’re trying to work around this, but cannot give any guarantees. But you can make it work by adding
Option "IgnoreABI" "1"line toServerFlagssection in Xorg config. - Most Xorg drivers should run as-is (once recompiled!), with some exceptions.
See
.gitlab-ci.ymlfor the versions/branches built along with Xlibre.
