X.Org Server May Create A New Selective Git Branch With Hopes Of A New Release This Year

A proposal has been laid out for a new X.Org Server 'main' Git branch to house their development going forward and cleaning up the development lapses over the past few years

Does anyone know how to install all of the #screensavers in xscreensavers?
My Ubuntu 22.04 laptop is starting to have severe screen burn-in, so I installed xscreensaver tonight. Only about 20 of the default screensavers are installed, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get the rest to activate.
I did something risky, and briefly ran Nautilus as root (I made sure to escape my sudo session quickly) and copied all of the XML files from the latest version directly to the usr/share data path, with the rest of the XML files. However, this appears to do nothing, as it is missing binary data.

(2/2) …I wanna know how often “pointer stick” (similar to #TrackPoint) is hit on my #HHKB Studio by accident while typing quickly. Catching my error rate will be hard across applications, but perhaps I could measure how often the stick moves pointer a tiny bit after a flurry of typing, which would of course be followed by a tiny but measurable stop in typing (& often backspace presses). I'm familiar w/ `xev` on #Xorg as a method to collect the data, but how hard would it be to analyze?

So sehr ich #Linux liebe, so sehr hasse ich es manchmal.

X11 wird sukzessive mit Wayland ersetzt, wobei dieses "sukzessive" gerade recht schnell geht.
Für den Alltag hab ich damit weniger bis keine Probleme, aber mit der Teleskopsteuerung via RasPi 5 und VNC ist das einfach be💩 .

Wir haben mittlerweile 2026 und einen Remote-Desktop einzurichten ist entweder sehr mühsam (VNC unter X11) eine Wissenschaft (RDP) oder [fast?] unmöglich (VNC unter Wayland) - zumindest für nicht-Systemadmins.

Und so werden weiter vieeeeele Stunden vergehen bis ich das endlich halbwegs brauchbar hinbekomme. 🫩

Someone's making an Awesomewm clone for Wayland and I'm here for it.

I was just thinking. If there's anything good to take from the existence of XLibre, it's that it's keeping the fascists in one place and has allowed for X.Org to have a big influx in proper development.

I hope to see X.Org outlive XLibre and still be useful for those who need it well into the future. If nothing else, though, there's also Wayback, which I'm a bit curious about :)

Or maybe some madla{d,ss} will revive the W window system predating X.
