Ilyes,
I was having terrible problems with F10 on my 4+year-old laptop, and I
am now running rawhide from a F11 Beta install, and nearly all my
problems, including disk& display performance problems, have gone
away. I hope I am not far from the truth when I say (at least as I've
been told) Xorg in F10 had some issues, almost all of which are fixed in
the version that is scheduled for F11.
I'd say you're over-simplifying. :) There were large changes in both the
X server itself and the various hardware drivers in F10, and there are
equally large (or possibly even larger) changes for F11 too. Some things
that were broken in F10 are fixed in F11. Some things that were broken
in F10 are currently still broken in F11. And a few things are broken in
F11 that weren't broken in F10. Obviously we're trying to make sure the
first group of things is as large as possible and the other two as
small, but please don't over-promise, it frequently leads to
disappointment :)
Good points, all of them. That's why I tried to keep the experience as
personal as possible (e.g., "I was having...", "...all my
problems..."). My mistake, obviously, was in stating a truth about Xorg
server based on my limited set of experiences with it. Duly noted.
Good job to all the devs, Xorg & otherwise, on F11 progress!
