  • csulok, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12gutsy isnt an LTS and september 5th is before the beta..
  • schestowitz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Very minor delay. It won't affect any distribution, but Gutsy missed the mark before.
  • ahirreddy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Buried as spam. Why the hell is this being dugg up. This is blog spam, and should be buried as such. This is just a short blurb on a blog linking to the real source. I have a great idea, why not link to the actual article. http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2007-August/027792.html. Just a thought.

    Fair enough. I'm not in the place to criticize any delays. I hope the devs take as much time as they need, and keep up the good work. Thanks for letting us know, but in future just link to the source.
  • MavRevMatt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Damnit, mixed up the releases. Sorry.
  • ours, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Specially for such a fanboy-ist blog. Ergh. Could almost label it NSFW.
  • ClayDragon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Ever heard of USB? Also I'm no expert, but changing the graphics card while the computer is running would probably be dangerous to your health.
  • xspinkickx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1ummm.... in the blogs banner, is that images of Emma Watson (Hermoine) in the harry potter movies??? if so creeeepy.....
  • fusama, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I wonder how badly emerge -avuD world is gonna break things when it pulls down the new X.Org...not that I won't do it the day it hits stable on portage
  • zwaldowski, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Ooh... scary, three days?! I can't take it!
  • carl0ski, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0ISA Bus definetly did not support Hot swap (well technically speaking The ISA Video card i removed caught fire)

    PCI Bus seems to not cause any damage when you remove a PCI card from a running system, there is also an option in the Linux Kernel (Hotswappable PCI)
    However i couldnt get it to detect the new PCI devices i hotswapped without rebooting.

    I Dont have any PCI Express cards to experiment with
  • ShinGouki, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Thx for reply!
    Anyonelese here which has a PCI Express system and did/could chek this?
  • lufthanza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I'm not waiting for it to hit stable. I'll grab it from ~x86 as soon as possible.
  • arjie, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3It's possible that the person who submitted the story found it on the blog and wanted to give credit to the blog for having shown him the story rather than simply 'stealing' it.
  • ShinGouki, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Well about the hottpluggn thing. So X.Org Supports its now from the Software Side , but actually which hardware interface does support "hottpluggin"? PCI Express?
  • nanostream, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Although I'm normally against profanity, I'd have to say that this comment made my day.
  • ShinGouki, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0and u spam here too thus u did NOT notice that it WAS already noticed before ( 2 up)
    So Before u claim others spamers read through comments and then react...
  • csulok, on 10/10/2007, -8/+4gutsy isnt an LTS. and september 5th is before the beta too.
  • MavRevMatt, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2Keep in mind Gutsy might be pushed back, the last LTS was.
