Bug Description
With the latest set of xserver-xorg updates in Hoary downloaded tonight, during
the installation via synaptic a dkpg-reconfigure xserver-zorg is being done. In
one of the menu shown to the user, this line appears while doing the
"Configuring xserver-xorg":
'If you don't what rule set to use, enter "xfree86"'
This comment is then followed by the default option "xorg" as the XKB rule set
to use. Maybe the comment on the screen should be changed to tell the users to
use "xorg" instead of "xfree86" if they don't know know what to use for this option.

xorg (6.8.2-1) hoary; urgency=low from_6. 8_branch_ benh_ati. diff to #022 to better
Ubuntu# 6223). tion() breakage that crept into 6.8.2 shortly "custom" to be passed to Debconfiscation. Leaves xorg.config. in, so it should now just preserve configuration reconfigure and the first time (closes: Ubuntu#6484). bin/X11/ Xorg, which should silence a few errors. xorg.config. in,
.
* New upstream version (update from 6.8.1.904).
+ Contains AMD64 PCIE BAR fix (closes: Ubuntu#6085).
+ Remove patches which were applied upstream, reshuffle others.
+ Rename 000_stolen_
reflect its status; it did not make 6.8.2 and will probably not make
6.8.3, either. Update with a fix from benh to ensure that the PLL
dividers were always taken from the BIOS if we need to use them (closes:
+ Revert RADEONSetFBLoca
before release.
+ Update Via driver from unichrome.sf.net (closes: Ubuntu#6887).
+ Update i810 driver from HEAD, which fixes video artifacts among other
things (closes: Ubuntu#5738). CRT mode validation still broken.
* Allow XORG_CONFIG=
xorg.conf alone. Source variables from /etc/default/xorg, which doesn't
exist by default.
* Add some more r128 chip identifiers to our special sync range
blacklisting.
* Fix extraneous quoting in xvfb-run, again (closes: Ubuntu#5531).
* Fix second TMDS head initialisation on r3xx (closes: Ubuntu#4343).
* Ensure sync ranges are written out if we ask the user for them (closes:
Ubuntu#6184).
* Add 1920x1200 modes, sans sync ranges for now (closes: Ubuntu#6252).
* Remove #031 (glxinfo_makefile) as it was incorrect, per upstream, and
just ensure that libGLU is linked against libstdc++ instead.
* Patches #054 and #055 (evdev keyboard/mouse): change "Device" to "Dev
Device" in the options section. The configuration parser thoughtfully
puts a default of /dev/psaux for the mouse's Device, thus making it
impossible to specify Dev Name/Dev Phys and not Device.
* Fix numerous interactions with dpkg-reconfigure and
xserver-
changes on upgrades, and probe and write upgrades when invoked via
dpkg-
* Silently migrate server symlink from /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg to
/usr/
* Strip .UTF-8 and @euro from the end of $LANG in xserver-
to fix the $LANG->keyboard layout problem (closes: Ubuntu#6270).
* Change 'xfree86' to 'xorg' in keyboard ruleset template (closes:
Ubuntu#6477).
* Change the default bitdepth on Savage to 24 (closes: Ubuntu#6127).
* Ensure that we prompt at priority critical if we can't properly guess the
keyboard layout, although we shouldn't have to guess.
