Jono Bacon announces that Mir, Ubuntu’s new display server designed for fast, efficient and extensible display across devices are to be made default as XMir (an implementation of X on Mir) for users running open-source drivers in Ubuntu 13.10, along with Unity 7. He also mentions that proprietary drivers will fallback to X in 13.10 but will get XMir support in 14.04 LTS, explains that the decision is needed to make Mir production-stable for 14.04 LTS, and answers user’s possible questions.

Mir Plans In 13.10

Jono Bacon announces that Mir, Ubuntu’s new display server designed for fast, efficient and extensible display across devices are to be made default as XMir (an implementation of X on Mir) for users running open-source drivers in Ubuntu 13.10, along with Unity 7. He also mentions that proprietary drivers will fallback to X in 13.10 but will get XMir support in 14.04 LTS, explains that the decision is needed to make Mir production-stable for 14.04 LTS, and answers user’s possible questions.
