Intel Calls For X Server 1.6 This Year
,----[ Quote ]
| While X Server 1.5.0 was finally released this week without X.Org 7.4, Keith
| Packard is calling for the release of X Server 1.6 this year. Due to Intel's
| customers needing some of the newest X features, Keith Packard has stepped up
| to be the release manager for X Server 1.6 and he will be running this
| release cycle on a strictly time-based schedule.

| The schedule for today's talks that mostly consisted of open-source graphics
| were also thrown off when the developers decided to visit the Gentoo

| Clone Wars; WALL-E; 300; The Golden Compass; Harry Potter and the Order of
| the Phoenix; and I Am Legend, to name but a few recent movies, were all
