Attention all stable users
by R CARDONA 
Tomáš (scarabeus) and I decided it was time to do another round of stabilizations.
Back in September when we stabilized xorg-server 1.6, upstream was in the process of releasing Xorg 7.5 (which includes xorg-server 1.7, are you still following?). So at that time, we decided to still go ahead with 1.6 and include the bits of 1.7 that were available and compatible.
Now that 7.5 has been fully released, we're doing another mass stabilization... but without xorg-server 1.7. While the server itself is very stable, a few drivers still aren't compatible with it. So we're not going to stabilize it now. So we're just stabilizing utilities and a few drivers, nothing major.
So yet again, I'm requesting help from stable users:
- go to the stabilization bug,
- grab the latest stabilization list and copy it to
/etc/portage/package.keywords, - update your system with
emerge -DuNa world.
As always, bugs should be filed in bugzilla, not in the comments.

Rémi: It's true, that's why we're trying to have more frequent stabilizations in X land. The more we do it, the easier it gets! :)
If you want to find all the failing drivers, let me know with a mail; I've been thinking about halting and re-starting the tinderbox round (it's a long story) so I could use that time to force priority over the x11-drivers section; I can probably go through that in a day if you wish me to do that.
I'm very happy to add a file into my .keywords file, I ran with 1.5 and 1.6 to try to shake some bugs out, and this is the first one I've hit. So good job!
I'd file a bug, but my input would duplicate those other bugs. Recomendations?
Rémi: Everything is written in this very bug, see comment #12 for a proper solution.
