[Nix-dev] MPX on nixos - yeah!

[Marc Weber]

I have mpx running for > 10min now.

Boys and girls this rocks!

MPX is the Xorg multipoint extension which was written by Peter Hutter.
It was merged into xorg dev some time ago.

Of course still a lot of things has to be done such as applying patches
for fltk, making synergy and ssh_ask_pass compile again etc.
It's to early to say how stable this all is. Probably its not at all.
Anyway I was able to run wmii + firefox, gimp and Opera without crash
now using latest nvidea drivers and the -ignoreABI flag.

Probably we can even have both xorg versions in nixpkgs at the same
time? I won't commit yet. I'll do some more testing.
Tomorrow I'll use this setup at work and see whether it behaves nicely.

So thank you to you all who updated Xorg previsouly. There wasn't much
trouble.

time for bed
