[xubuntu-users] Glamor

[Ian Prideaux]

Thanks for that.

According to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server>
Glamor was first included in xorg 1.16 in July 2014. If I read synaptic
correctly, 15.04 has got 1.17.

1.18 came out a couple of days ago, ready for 16.04lts?

Odd that redhat7.1 is still using xorg 1.15, and a separate glamor package.
