X11, Window Managers It's been a hell of a time getting X.Org 7.4 out the door, but this afternoon Adam Jackson has released this long-delayed update to this X system. X.Org 7.4 is arriving after the release of X Server 1.5.1 earlier in the day. Yes, it's finally here! In this article we have information on the features that make up this release along with what it's taken to get X.Org 7.4 primed for release.

downloaded the sources from GIT and built using the build.sh script today.

Was a bit disappointed with how hard it is to build, there were 8 or so packages that didnt install headers in the correct place (had to manually copy). libXp didn't build from the script, and a dependency drm2proto wasn't downloaded or in the build script.

Would be nice if they had their build system better updated.
- Aside from that. it seems to run well and definitely starts faster.

NVIDIA - Pull your finger out and release X11 7.4 compatible drivers!
