[ubuntu-x] Ubuntu X goals for Intrepid

[Bryce Harrington]

Hi all,

With Hardy winding down, it's time to think about what goals we'd like
to see from Intrepid for Xorg in Ubuntu.

Here's what I'd like to propose:

  a.  Get our total bug count to < 1000 (1500 currently)
      - Special focus on -ati bugs
  b.  Hardy LTS maintenance
  c.  Upgrade to latest xserver late in Intrepid (FFe)
  d.  Get Input Hotplug integrated
  e.  Solidify/polish Xrandr GUI support



On the LTS maintenance work, I plan on focusing on this myself for the
next few months; I'm hoping this helps free up others to focus on
Intrepid work.

The Xorg release schedule always seems to put something new out right as
we hit freeze.  We opted to skip it the past two times, but for Intrepid
I've thought maybe we could be more aggressive and upgrade to the newest
xserver as a planned Feature Freeze Exception.  Thoughts?

We decided to postpone input hotplug for Hardy, but we should look at it
again.  Anyone know offhand what exactly needs done?

I think we must also include some config tool(s) for input devices
(esp. Wacom tablets).  Perhaps a command line tool of some sort, plus
some experimental GUI prototypes?  Anyone know of plans for work in this
area?

How do these sound as objectives?  What other projects/objectives are
you thinking of undertaking for this release?
