These hints allow an acceleration architecture to optimize allocation of certain
types of pixmaps, such as pixmaps that will serve as backing pixmaps for
redirected windows.
In a multihead setup, if only the first screen can be
initialized, but the second screen is mentioned first in the
ServerLayout section, the xf86InitOrigins() function will crash
because the screen referred to in the e.g. "RightOf" part is
non-existent.
This makes the root visual a GLX capable visual again and adds a GLX visual
for the COMPOSITE ARGB visual cleanly (as opposed to the hack we had before).
Call ProcessOtherEvents first, then for all keyboard devices let them be
wrapped by XKB. This way all XI events will go through XKB.
Note that the VCK is still not wrapped, so core events will bypass XKB.

Hide getline call by checking for glibc. If not, use fgetln instead. Even
though this section is now #ifdef'ed for linux only, this should help make
it more portable if non-linux folks end up wanting it.
It contains static paths, fails to build on non-glibc, and apparently just
exists to support distributions managing binary drivers and open-source drivers
together. Also restores previous code for fallback to vesa if nothing is
detected.
Right now we default to "all" which gives us a situation much like before,
but when the "typical" option is implemented, we can change the default and
reduce the number of visuals the GLX module bloats the X server with.
If none is present, a default one will be created. This will be attached
to either the first device section in the xorg.conf (allowing you to
specify something like using EXA without having a screen section) or a
default screen section if none is present in the file.
This will allow the screen to not explicitly have a device section. If
this is the case and there is a device section in the xorg.conf, the first
one will be used. If there is no device section at all, a default one will
be created that loads the automatically determined module.
This is what we're currently shipping in Debian. Enables the ability for
drivers to ship a text file listing PCI ID's they support, and have the
server read them on startup when no driver is specified. This works, but
isn't the final solution.
Add keyc->postdown, which represents the key state as of the last mieqEnqueue
call, and use it when we need to know the posted state, instead of the
processed state (keyc->down). Add small functions to getevents.c to query and
modify key state in postdown and use them all through, eliminating previously
broken uses.
In commit 41bb9fce47, the event delivery loop
for Xinput enabled keyboards was changed and accidentally used the wrong
index variable, causing random events to be delivered when returning from VT
switch.
In addition, in commit aeba855b07,
SIGIO was blocked during delivery of these events, but not for the entire
period the xf86Events array was being used. Block SIGIO for the whole loop
to avoid other event delivery from trashing the key release events.

Previously, the server version reported by xdpyinfo and Xorg -version would
bear some vague resemblance to a X.Org katamari version, but in the presence
of modularization (and client-server relationships with different katamari
versions on each side) those numbers don't really make sense. Instead, just
report the package version.
When branching a stable branch, master's version should be immediately updated
to the endpoint of the stable branch plus a snapshot of 1 (for example,
1.4.0.1 after server-1.4-branch). The stable branch should then be changed to
RC0 at that time (1.3.99.0, for example).
This scheme was partially attempted for server 1.3, but lacked the appropriate
master updates, thus why it had to be revisited now. While here, we can also
remove a lot of versioning complexity since everything is based on the package
version.
over to new system.
Need to update documentation and address some remaining vestiges of
old system such as CursorRec structure, fb "offman" structure, and
FontRec privates.
This was a bunch of poorly defined resource ranges per OS/platform combination
which were supposed to represent what regions could potentially have resources
allocated into them.
Composite's automatic redirection is a more general mechanism than the
ad-hoc BS machinery, so it's much prettier to implement the one in terms
of the other. Composite now wraps ChangeWindowAttributes and activates
automatic redirection for windows with backing store requested. The old
backing store infrastructure is completely gutted: ABI-visible structures
retain the function pointers, but they never get called, and all the
open-coded conditionals throughout the DIX layer to implement BS are gone.
Note that this is still not a strictly complete implementation of backing
store, since Composite will throw the bits away on unmap and therefore
WhenMapped and Always hints are equivalent.
This is where they should have been in the first place. All the rest of
the code in the server defines such things in the source files, not the
headers.
If NoAutoAddDevices is given as a server flag, then no devices will be added
from HAL events at all. If NoAutoEnableDevices is given, then the devices will
be added (and the DevicePresenceNotify sent), but not enabled, thus leaving
policy up to the client.
Make sure the font path is always 'built-ins' when we use built-in fonts,
rather than having it as a fixed path for a while, then clobbering it
halfway through startup.
If your loader is as bad as elfloader, then it makes sense for the
server to have some stubs for you to assign to / break on. However it
is no longer 1996.
I made a mistake in some new code using MakeAtom, passing the size of the
string instead of the length of the string. Figuring there might be other
such mistakes, I reviewed the server code and found four bugs of the same
form.
