[10:25] <mamarley> ricotz: On a whim I decided to try NVIDIA 396 with xorg 1.20-RC5 and it almost works.  It doesn't even complain about ABI mismatch, but for some reason the GLX module fails to load.
[11:38] <ricotz> mamarley, hmm, a new xserver release without ABI breaks doesn't sound right
[11:38] <tjaalton> are you sure it doesn't already support the abi?
[11:38] <mamarley> ricotz: 1.20 does go from ABI 23 to 24 (and trying to run it with NVIDIA 390 does make an ABI warning).
[11:39] <mamarley> But with both drivers, the GLX module fails to load (it says something about too many errors, despite no errors having been printed in the X log).
[11:42] <ricotz> tjaalton, hmm, I thought the last bump was for 1.19, but yeah, abi 24 is for 1.20 which doesn't mean they broke/finalized it last minute ;)
[11:43] <mamarley> I'm curious as to why the GLX module fails to load if the ABI is supported though.
[11:43] <ricotz> (the bump to abi 24 was done over a year ago)
[11:45] <ricotz> (so don't take this number check for evidence)
