I just received the attached email from the xorg-devel list. X.Org 7.5

I just received xserver commit access today, and I want to make sure
that X.Org 7.5 works on Alpha in time for its release - so I need your
help.
Thanks for the heads up. I've started the compilation of git master
on an Alpha ev67 system running Debian testing. It will be
interesting to see if it works - the Xserver (version 1.6.3) in Debian
unstable crashes/kernel oops on initialisation on my Alpha (in the
int10 code I think).
I see you have done a major rework of the Xserver's compiler.h file.
Nice. It looks more complete and is certainly much easier to read and
follow.
I need testing of various video cards/drivers, namely
o xf86-video-ati, with[0] and without KMS
o xf86-video-glint [0]
o xf86-video-mga
I have ati cards -- an RV280 and an RV610. It may be the weekend
before I can complete the compilation of the Xserver and run it.
I don't care if you don't like IRC, please join for a couple days to
help us make sure that we can have a quality X.Org/Alpha release.
#alpha on Freenode.
Sorry, but your instructions for that (in your reply to someone else's
reply) are complete gobbledegook to me.
So, does anyone care about X on EV4 or EV5 Alphas?
I don't.
Cheers
Michael.
