X.Org bumped version to 6.8.1, sorry if this a double Post but I could not find any earlier posts regarding this version via the search function. I don't expect to be the first one to post this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
You are not the first one. And in fact, we use already 6.8.1, but we do not want all users to have the big 6.8.1 download so we have all the 6.8.0-tarballs + the small extra 6.8.1 patch. Please mark this as RESOLVED.
6.8.0-r1 IS 6.8.1, Stefan's comment is 100% accurate on the reasons why.
