You need to get the git version of the xserver. Neither 7.3 nor the upcoming
7.4 will have support for mpx. 7.5 may have it, depening on how we go in the
next few months I guess.

As Corbin said, you can use the git version, but then you must recompile all
drivers, which will naturally cause issues with the binary graphics drivers.

Thanks to both, I'm trying now with the overlay. For the driver issue I was already been warned when upgrading from 7.2 to 7.3 so i think I can manage that.
Thanks again!

Hi,
I've finally managed to get the git version working using the gentoo overlay.
Now I should have mpx support right?
I've followed the example of configuration from the mpx blog but it doesn't work, so can anyone point me to some guide or something?
Thanks in advance!
Davide
