Phoronix: The X.Org 7.5 Super Module

X.Org 7.5 with X Server 1.7 will hopefully make it out into the world later this month and to provide for easy testing of these new X packages, Peter Hutterer continues his work by providing an X.Org 7.5 Super Module. The X.Org 7.5 Super Module is simply a Git repository that contains all of the latest X packages going into X11R7.5. Among the many packages are X Server 1.7, xf86-video-intel 2.8.99.901, xf86-video-nv 2.1.15, xf86-video-ati 6.12.4, and libdrm 2.4.13...

I've been waiting for this since 2007!

Git repository can't be cloned, and when I try to browse the tree it says Invalid commit reference: e6e83d81ee7366779d600cbb128034e248815339

I, too, would like to see MPX. Not only could it potentially have nice features for multiple users using the same desktop and such, but if, say, one keyboard or mouse is locked up by a program, plugging in a second keyboard or mouse could spawn another user outside it who could maybe shut the troubled program down. Just a theory tho. =P
