Yes ! I am using the opensuse 11.1 Factory X11 repository so I download right away all things. There are some changes - I don't know if I can call them improvements in my case. For I managed to have something working by passing in 64k color instead of true color.
With the old Xorg when screen was turned I had flickering but strange enough ony when not pressing the mouse somewhere on the screen. When the mouse button was pressed the flickering had gone away.
Now - whenever there should be flickering the video/or display starts to move alot slower and pressing the mouse button somewhere does not help anymore. Anyway is a bit more fluid as interface but I am trying to play a 800x600 video on an Atom 1.6Ghz machine. I insist however for the case with the old Xorg when pressing the mouse button over at any position on the screen will completely remove flickering - very strange.
