Please point to a page with some explanation of what this means to the end user. I apologise in advance if the x11 team has done this already. I'd like to understand better what this change will mean for me. In particular, I need to check whether my hardware is new or legacy, and whether I'm better off staying on the old Xorg. Many thanks Anton
