"Scheduled for release tomorrow is X.Org 7.3. Among the new features for X.Org 7.3 include the Xorg server 1.4, an application for adjusting a display's backlight, updated display drivers, and support for font catalog directories. Version 1.4 of the X.Org server contains such features as RandR 1.2 support, input hot-plugging, KDrive enhancements, Solaris DTrace support, and EXA improvements. In this article today, we will briefly go over some of the changes found in X.Org 7.3 and we will follow up with some benchmarks in early September."

I don't know about others, but I got tired of the Ubuntu merry-go-round. If you don't want to get locked into Ubuntu's static packages, then run Debian Sid. You'll be able to get the upgraded packages as soon as they hit the repos. With Ubuntu, it seems like one is always waiting for the next release. I think that's why everyone in the tech world goes spastic every time some tiny bit of news about an Ubuntu alpha or "tribe" release hits the net.
