Registered by Michael Otteneder

I think Feisty should come with Xorg 7.2, I compiled the Release Canidate myself today,and AIGLX really runs a lot smoother. This would be quite an important feature in my humble opinion.

Aside from the desire to keep feisty bleeding edge, including Xorg 7.2 may help resolve problems some users are having with integrated graphics on Intel 965 chipsets. These cards have problems rendering 3D or displaying beryl/compiz.

See linked bug (#62135) as well as the following post on the Beryl project forums for more details:
