稳定版 **25.2.0** 于 2026 年 6 月 21 日发布。这是一个重要的里程碑，包含了约 976 次代码提交和显著的架构改进。 **主要亮点：** * **Nvidia 与 Glamor 集成：** 对 `glamor_egl` 进行了大规模重构，将 DRI3 与 GBM 解耦，从而为 EGL、GLX 和 DRI3 提供对 Nvidia 专有驱动（v470+）的稳健支持。这些改进同样适用于 `Xfbdev`、`Xvfb` 和 `modesetting` 驱动。 * **Kdrive 全面升级：** Kdrive 子系统进行了重大更新，包括支持多屏幕、evdev 自动检测、VT 切换以及多线程输入处理。 * **稳定性与安全性：** 该版本解决了许多长期存在的问题，包括内存泄漏、越界读取、空指针解引用，以及涉及 `modesetting`、`radeon` 和 `amdgpu` 驱动的崩溃问题。 * **基础设施：** 构建系统和持续集成（CI）实现了现代化，包括迁移至 `meson`、改进测试套件（`pyxtest`）以及更清晰的 X 扩展模块化组织。 * **常规改进：** 增加了对 XDG Base Dir Spec 0.8 的支持，改进了光标处理，并对代码库、文档和许可协议头进行了全面清理。 此版本确保了与现代硬件更好的兼容性，并提高了虚拟环境和传统帧缓冲区环境的稳定性。

XLibre XServer 25.2.0 has been released, marking continued active development for the X11 display system a year after the project's fork. Discussion on Hacker News highlights a divide between X11 supporters and the industry’s shift toward Wayland. While some users express surprise at the ongoing maintenance, others—including the original poster—advocate for the project’s independence from the "Freedesktop/Wayland" ecosystem, which they believe is dominated by corporate interests. Proponents argue that X11 remains essential for established workflows, citing its stability for legacy desktop environments like KDE 3.5 and tools such as i3 and dmenu. The conversation also touched on the perceived stagnation of official Xorg development, which some describe as being in "Apache Office mode." Despite the controversy and debate surrounding the project's necessity, the contributors are actively addressing long-standing "papercut" bugs and performing code refactoring, ensuring the long-term viability of the X11 platform for its dedicated user base.

We released the stable version of our 25.2 series as 25.2.0 on Jun 21, 2026. For the announcement, please see the discussion thread.

glamor / glamor_egl: Decoupled DRI3 from gbm, Nvidia Support

The internal architecture of glamor_egl was significantly refactored: xf86-specific code was split out, DRI3 was decoupled from gbm, and a dumb gbm backend was added. This enables support for proprietary Nvidia drivers v470+ for EGL initialization, GL context creation, GLX, and DRI3 — with faster and simpler DRI3 paths and improved Nvidia detection overall.

kdrive: Major Overhaul — Multi-Screen, DRI3/glamor, X-Video, evdev, VT Switching

The kdrive subsystem received extensive improvements: multi-screen support, DRI3/glamor, X-Video through glamor, evdev input autodetection, VT switching, and threaded input. Key handling was improved with proper scancodes for Delete/Keypad Delete and the KdKeyCodeToKeySym function was ported to xkb. The fbdev variant gained modesetting via RandR with split framebuffer modesetting. The ephyr variant gained a dummy refresh rate through RandR for Proton >= 8 compatibility.

Xfbdev: X-Video, GLX, DRI3 through glamor

The Xfbdev server now supports X-Video through glamor (works with Nvidia 390+), GLX through glamor (Nvidia 470+), and DRI3 through glamor (Nvidia 470+). Various new command-line arguments for configuration were added.

Xvfb: DRI3/glamor and GLX Support

The virtual framebuffer X server now supports DRI3/glamor and GLX through glamor.

modesetting: GBM Bo Wrapper, Cursor Fixes, DRI Device Selection

Fully ported to GBM bo wrapper, with cursor rotation/reflection fixes, DRI device selection, XRGB8888 for 24-bit front bo, and support for more cursor sizes on legacy probe.

DRI3 now returns version 1.4 and frees formats/modifiers cache at closeScreen.
