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.
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.
When the modules section is parsed, if a module is set to be loaded by
default, this will be logged. If it is redundantly specified in xorg.conf,
this will also be noted. None of this logging will happen if the xorg.conf
lacks a modules section.
This provides a new option, UseDefaultFontPath. This option is enabled by
default, and causes the X server to always append the default font path
(defined at compile time) to the font path for the server. This will allow
people to specify additional font paths if they want without breaking
their font path, thus hopefully avoiding ye olde "fixed front" problem.
Because this option is a ServerFlag option, the ServerFlags need to be
processed before the files section of the config file, so swap the order
that they are processed.
Provide default modules that may be overrided easily. Previously the
server would load a set of default modules, but only if none were
specified in the xorg.conf, or if you didn't have a xorg.conf at all. This
patch provides a default set and you can add only the "Load" instructions
to xorg.conf that you want without losing the defaults. Similarly, if you
don't want to load a module that's loaded by default, you can add "Disable
modulename" to your xorg.conf (see man xorg.conf in this release for
details). This allows for a minimal "Modules" section, where the user only
need specify what they want to be different. See bug #10541 for more.
The list of default modules is taken from the set loaded by default when
there was a xorg.conf containing no "Modules" section.
A potential problem for some users is that some users disable a module,
most notably DRI, by commenting out the "Load" line in their xorg.conf.
This needs to be changed to an uncommented "Disable" line, as DRI is
loaded by default.
When we see an evdev or vmmouse section, assume that it's a mouse, and
don't add a default mouse device. This will break users who have an
evdev keyboard section but no mouse, and want the mouse to get added
by default.
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.
otherwise a Xi grab may overwrite or release a core grab.
Replace grab and associates with coreGrab and deviceGrab structures,
adjust rest of dix/Xi/etc to compile.
xfree86: Don't check for core devices, we'll have the virtual ones anyway.
If we check, the first mouse device is duplicated and sends
double events.
Add a server flag (AllowEmptyInput), which will inhibit adding the
standard keyboard and mouse drivers, if there are no input devices in the
config file.
Always add a mouse driver instance configured to send core events, unless
a core pointer already exists using either the mouse or void drivers. This
handles the laptop case where the config file only specifies, say,
synaptics, which causes the touchpad to work but not the pointing stick.
We don't double-instantiate the mouse driver to avoid the mouse moving twice
as fast, and we skip this logic when the user asked for a void core pointer
since that probably means they want to run with no pointer at all.
Remove most of the rest of the old keyboard driver.
Move to the new Get{Keyboard,Pointer}Events API, which is mostly
complete at this stage: just missing the proximity events.
Get rid of almost all uses of these definitions. They're still defined for
delinquent out-of-tree drivers, and also for the Mesa build. As well as
for miinitext.c. But largely gone.
- add hw/xfree86/utils/cvt/, cvt.c, cvt.man.pre and Makefile.am.
- Adjust configure.ac and hw/xfree86/utils/Makefile.am for cvt.
- Add MonPtr->reducedblanking and Option "ReducedBlanking" to the Monitor
section.
- Check for reduced blanking in xf86CheckModeForMonitor and disallow modes
with less than 25% blanking otherwise.
- Fix some warnings in hw/xfree86/common/xf86Config.c.
Add XSERV_t, TRANS_SERVER, TRANS_REOPEN to quash warnings.
Add #include <dix-config.h> or <xorg-config.h>, as appropriate, to all
source files in the xserver/xorg tree, predicated on defines of
HAVE_{DIX,XORG}_CONFIG_H. Change all Xfont includes to
<X11/fonts/foo.h>.
number of preallocated slots. We should really make this dynamic - but
I don't think this ever caused a problem so it's more or less academic.
A. Avoid that *SyncStart starts before *BlankStart. If *BlankStart >
*SyncStart it is made = *SyncStart and its width is made maximal but such
that the blank does not exceed *Total. Since the Sync width has the
same restrictions as the Blank width monitors should still be able to
clamp after the sync pulse. B. Over time mode validation has become
inconsistent when people started to add additional features to the mode
validation. One such feature is that the mode->Crtc* values have been
(ab)used to allow the driver ValidMode() function to pass driver
normalized timing values back to the validation function. The
introduction of these features made the code less readable and created
numerous possibly unintended side effects in the validation semantics.
I've attempted to consolidate these changes making the code more
consistent and eliminating a number of side effects. This should not
cause problems for the majority of drivers, still it should receive
testing - especially with ATi Mach64 and Radeon code. (Bugzilla #3325).
change "foo.h" to <X11/foo.h> for core headers, e.g. X.h, Xpoll.h;
change "foo.h", "extensions/foo.h" and "X11/foo.h" to
<X11/extensions/foo.h> for extension headers, e.g. Xv.h;
change "foo.[ch]" to <X11/Xtrans/foo.[ch]> for Xtrans files.

- bug fix: pointerMsg -> keyboardMsg in auto-configuration code.
- make the 'kbd' driver the default for autoconfiguration everywhere.
