This release works with udev for input hotplugging and supports /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf as a replacement for the hal .fdi files. After upgrading to this release, configuration for input devices in hal is ignored. Documentation about this change can be found on the Xorg wiki article.
Nvidia-173xx and -96xx drivers currently don't support the new Xorg release. We recommend using the xf86-video-nouveau driver package for now.
