Hi.
We use 1.14. We can't move furher (to 1.17), because it breaks radeon 
support. However, intel driver doesn't work even on Xorg 1.14, as it 
requires KMS support. If you use NVidia, I'd suggest to switch to 
/hipster-2015 in new BE and try as it goes.

As for /dev, I think it's not a big secret that it's efficiently dead.
