tracker for xorg-server 1.18 migration

[Timo Aaltonen]

While testing new X I noticed that display scaling didn't work, and it was due to new randr-1.5 code. The GDK backend is buggy, running

python -c 'from gi.repository import Gdk;
   print(Gdk.Screen.get_default().get_monitor_plug_name(0))'

returns "None"

this is a blocker for the xserver update.

Awesome that this is now fixed upstream! I've pushed a fixed package to the staging ppa:

ppa:canonical-x/x-staging

and will test it before Monday. I've also added a task for xorg-server to track the migration.

display scaling is fixed but nvidia prime still fails, guessing the bug is in u-d-c

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

So the display scaling issue is fixed by new gtk upload, and the nvidia prime issue is fixed by a patch to xserver on the ppa.

These can move now.

and these drivers can be removed from the archive then:
