* This patch adds multiscreen support to Xephyr. For instance,
the command line : "Xephyr :4 -ac -screen 320x240 -screen 640x480"
will launch with two "screens" - namely two main windows.
The first main window represents a screen that has the number :4.0, with
a geometry of 320x240 pixels, and the second one represents a screen
that has the number :4.1 with a geometry of 640x480.
The command line: "DISPLAY=:4.1 xclock" will launch the xclock program
on the second screen, for intance.
* this patch was edited by Dodji Seketeli <dodji@openedhand.com> for:
- better style compliance with the rest of the Xephyr code
- make sure Xephyr could be launched with no -screen option. By
default that creates a default screen of 640x480 pixel like before
- display full titles on the windows - with insctructions to grab
keyboard and mouse - like before.
This was an attempt to avoid scratch gc creation and validation for paintwin
because that was expensive. This is not the case in current servers, and the
danger of failure to implement it correctly (as seen in all previous
implementations) is high enough to justify removing it. No performance
difference detected with x11perf -create -move -resize -circulate on Xvfb.
Leave the screen hooks for PaintWindow* in for now to avoid ABI change.
* configure.ac: re-sort Kdrive libs so that symbols get properly resolved.
Basically, all some libs are present in both $KDRIVE_LIBS and $XSERVER_LIBS,
and some libs orders are not correct. So I made sure Kdrive servers don't have
to link against $KDRIVE_LIBS *and* $XSERVER_LIBS. They just have to link
against $KDRIVE_LIBS now.
* hw/kdrive/*/Makefile.am: update those makefile to reflect the change in configure.ac
Licensing issues of these files include:
- They claim to be licensed under the GPL, yet we haven't allowed that in the
xserver repository in the past.
- They refer the user to the top of the tree for GPL license text, yet it isn't
there.
- They claim to be derived from the (MIT-licensed) ati kdrive code, yet don't
follow the licensing terms of those files.
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.
I exported the evdev driver to Xephyr server. I'm running it using something
like:
$ ./hw/kdrive/ephyr/Xephyr :1 -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/event4 -keybd \
evdev,,device=/dev/input/event1,xkbmodel=abnt2,xkblayout=br
It also closes /#5668.
and the Xephyr virtual mouse keeps alive. With this patch the semantic changes
turning '-pointer' && 'Xephyr virtual mouse' always false.
Now we can open a device pointer and pass its options in Xephyr's command line
without having other pointer unused.
The former <X11/extensions/XKBsrv.h> has been pulled into the server now as
include/xkbsrv.h, and the world updated to look for it in the new place,
since it made no sense to define server API in an extension header. Any
further work along this line will need to do similar things with XKBgeom.h
and friends.
Only try to build Linux support on Linux. We should probably disable all
OS-dependent DDXes if we don't have a workable OS (and only build
Xephyr/Xfake), but that's future work.
Move the bell into an OS function, and use that if it's declared; else,
fall back to using the driver's function.
Remove the Linux keyboard bell function; just move it into the OS layer.
Use named initialisers when converting the old structures, and eliminate
unused functions.
Add KdOsAddInputDrivers, which adds all relevant input drivers.
Could possibly be refactored to KdAddInputDrivers, which called through
OsFuncs to a new function, if it existed.
Move the keymap copying to event processing time (in
ProcessInputEvents), instead of being at event enqueuing time.
Break SetCore{Pointer,Keyboard} out into separate functions.
Change mieqEnqueue to take a device pointer, that asks for the
_original_ device associated with this event.
Don't allocate events on every GKE/GKVE/GPE call, just have the DDX manage
it instead. Introduce GetMaximumEventsNum(), which is the maximum number
of events these functions will ever produce.
Add the 'ephyr' mouse and keyboard drivers to the driver list so we can
re-add devices.
Set the names properly in Ephyr{Keyboard,Mouse}Init, not in InitInput.
Do a linear n -> n initialisation on the map up until KD_MAX_BUTTON in
KdNewPointer, moving it out of both KdParsePointer, and KdPointerProc.
Also remove dead pointer acceleration code.
Initialise our axes properly in the DIX, and make sure we don't
unnecessarily clip maxval when it's not set.
Fix keymap copying in Xephyr (to some degree: it's still broken),
and set nAxes and nButtons properly.
