How often is in-tree Xorg updated?
How often is in-tree Xorg updated from upstream?
I'm asking this because I find that on my new laptop, on which I had
installed a amd64 5.0.1 system, I get much better results from X
(working cursor, font rendering, acceleration and DRI!) if I drop in a
more or less -current kernel, and a xf86-video-intel X server from
pkgsrc-2009Q4. But I'd prefer to run an in-tree X server, so knowing
when this will be possible again.
As a side-note, I noticed that building xf86-video-intel builds a whole
bunch of seemingly unrelated junk^H^H^H^Hstuff, including libXaw! Athena
Widgets are most certainly a client-side thing, why in the world would
an X server need them? And yet
$ pkg_info libXaw
Information for libXaw-1.0.6:
Comment:

In fact, none of the executables seem to link to Xaw, not even Xnest, as
shown by ldd. So one would think that at least this particular
dependency can be removed.
