I'm currently rebuilding the X stack for F17, and we'll be tracking git snapshots of the X server and drivers until xserver 1.12 comes out. I don't know yet how many of the drivers will ftbfs now, so --skip-broken might be your friend for a while. Binary and out-of-tree driver users will want to configure yum.conf to exclude xorg-x11-\* until their drug of choice catches up. I've changed the way we expose ABI versions in rpm. Builds of upstream releases will look like this: $ rpm -q --provides xorg-x11-server-Xorg | grep abi xserver-abi(ansic-0) = 4 xserver-abi(extension-6) = 0 xserver-abi(videodrv-11) = 0 xserver-abi(xinput-13) = 0 But git snapshots will look like: $ rpm -qp --provides xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.11.99.1-1.20111109.fc17.x86_64.rpm | grep abi xserver-abi(ansic-20111109) = 0 xserver-abi(extension-20111109) = 0 xserver-abi(videodrv-20111109) = 0 xserver-abi(xinput-20111109) = 0 This is a bit excessive - essentially binding drivers to exactly the server they were built against - but it should prevent the problems we had in the F16 cycle of silent ABI changes between xserver builds causing drivers to crash. - ajax
