“Since our article yesterday entitled X Server 1.4.1 Is
Released, No Joke where we shared that the X.Org server update–a
critical part of the Linux desktop–was released albeit
significantly late and the blocker bug list wasn’t even cleared,
it’s sparked discussions on our forums and other online communities

each of the commits to the X server in regards to each of the
companies and the developers involved, we’ve provided one in this
article that covers all X Server activity going back nine
