[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xorg-server-1.9.0-2 (TEST)

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xorg-server-1.9.0-2 (TEST)

[Jon TURNEY]

The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** xorg-server-1.9.0-2
*** xorg-server-dmx-1.9.0-2

This package contains XWin and the other X.Org X11 servers.

A new 1.9 release candidate has also been made available as a test release. 
This will be made stable in approximately one week if no major regressions are 
reported.

This contains the following cygwin-specific changes:

- Fix a regression with window placement: Windows which remember their 
position were drifting towards the bottom-right with each appearance
- Move log files from /var/log to /var/log/xwin, which is created mode 0777, 
to avoid logging failures in multiuser setups

Mentions of /var/log/XWin.0.log in the documentation will be updated to say 
/var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log after this release is made stable.

Additional documentation for the experimental WGL mode:
* OpenGL drawing to an X window which is not a top-level window is not yet 
implemented.
* Please ensure you are using the latest display drivers for your hardware 
before reporting any visual issues with WGL.

These packages have been promoted from test to current.

Specifically, as /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-server.README says, you need 
libXfont-devel-1.4.2-2, which hasn't been uploaded yet :-)

If you want to build libXfont yourself, the needed patch is [1]

Building xserver 1.9 requires a version of libXfont which will be
uploaded shortly together with the rest of X11R7.6.
