General X.org plans for Raring

Registered by Bryce Harrington

The biannual catch-all X discussion session. If you are involved in a project that directly depends on the X stack, or needs a particular feature from the stack, come along.

No specification will be written for this (any work significant enough to warrant a spec must be split out to separate blueprints). This blueprint will be used for tracking any stray work items that don't fit in elsewhere.

  xserver 1.14
  mesa 9.whatever
  drivers (whatever's the latest when we pull the stack)
  wayland
  kernel 3.8
* Goals for raring
  + Nexus 7: tegra video, touch input, other sensors
  + Commercial gaming support
  + Hybrid graphics (low hanging fruit?)
  + SRU queue cleanup
  + SRU fixes for quantal/precise
* X swat TODO page
* Bug triage for raring bug reports
* Bug triage for LTS bug reports
* Nouveau stabilization
* X/mesa test automation
  - piglit autopkgtest
  - xit for xserver autopkgtest
  - snapshot comparisons of apitrace for new mesa
* Communtiy member mentoring
Daniel D'andranda (dandrader) knows the touch stack and gestures stack. He'd be the right contact person on touch problems.
