    @collinm

    Collinm,

    No the version released with openSUSE 11.2 will be 1.6.5.

    I would expect the 1.7 family to be included into openSUSE 11.3, but should also find its way into the XORG BuildService after the release of openSUSE 11.2.

    I’ll write more about it when it’s there.

    i hope this new release will be available for 11.2 in a couple of week
