scale absolute coordinates to screen size

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.
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=2434) Fix Solaris build
bustage caused by namespace collision between symbols defined in
<sys/kbd.h> and those in "xf86_OSlib.h". Patch by Alan Coopersmith
<alan.coopersmith@sun.com>.
Linux-only fixes: Fix case where a smaller write-combining region
blocks write-combining setting of the whole frame buffer. Fix bug in wc
setting code when regions are first splitted and setting of
write-combining then fails.

(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=956): Fix build
problems on Linux/SPARC. Patch by Jeremy Huddleston
<eradicator@gentoo.org>. Approved in the 2005-01-31 Xorg
release-wranglers phone call.
permissions when no access to HW registers is required. For API changes
which mostly involve the modifications to make the RRFunc (introduced
with 6.8) more flexible please check Bugzilla #2407. NOTE: This patch
applies changes to OS specific files for other OSes which I cannot
test.
relied on the generic VGA layer to restore text console fonts for us
when shutting down the server or VT switching back to the text console.
This has worked rather well but it has some downsides on Linux: a. Many
people use fbdev as console text mode. In this case it is not necessary
to save/restore console fonts as the console is running in graphics
mode anyway. b. Some architectures don't have a fbdev console but
require a full POST of even the primary card (ie. IA64). This posting
has to take place before we even have a chance to save anything.
Therefore the fonts we save are the once written to the chip by POST,
not what has been programmed by the user. c. Certain chipsets utilize
the BIOS to perform mode setting. This may interfer with the vga
save/restore font function in a strange way. It would therefore be
preferrable to let the OS - which has been used to set up the font in
the first place - take care of saving/restoring the data. I will attach
a patch which will do so for Linux. To make this fully functional a
small patch needs to be applied to the Linux kernel. To disable this
feature add: #define DoOSFontRestore NO to your host.def. (Bugzilla
#2277)
Avoid PIO access on IA64. Some IA64 machine check if legacy ports outside
the VGA range are accessed. The ATi driver however does this to probe
for ISA Mach8/32/64. Since no IA64 has ISA slots this restriction
should not be relevant to the user.
Avoid recursive calls of xf86scanpci(). This function normally detects that
it has been called before by checking if the PCI structure is filled
out. So far if this was not the case (because PCI probing has failed
for some reason) the function is traversed again. With the chipset
specific PCI bus probing this can lead to an endless recursive loop as
the post-probing code calls xf86scanpci() from within this function.
The OS specific PCI code for Linux worked only if bus 0 was populated as it
checked for the presence of /proc/bus/pci/00. Fixed to check for
/proc/bus/pci/<bus_to_look_for> instead.
update references to xf86site.def in comments (Bug #1827).
fix kbd driver for wskbd protocol and pure wscons console driver (Bug
#1825).
don't add '-4' to generated default file name (bug #1826).
typo in resource name (XFree86 bug #1300, X.org bug #1825)
XScreenSaverSetAttributes() followed by XScreenSaverUnsetAttributes().
Caused by missing FreeResource() in XScreenSaverUnsetAttributes().
Removing unused DDC sections that caused misinterpretation of DDC data due
to a missing break statement in a switch.
Fixed typo: #if <-> #ifdef.
#defines/-D options.
programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86DPMS.c Use defaultDPMSEnabled global
for the default state of DPMS if not set in any config files.
programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/sunos/solaris-sparcv8plus.S Add
support for required assembly inline functions for Sun compilers on
Solaris/sparc.
Add support for Solaris/sparc libraries.
chipsets can be probed without OS support as probing them is only
possible using ACPI. One example of this are the HP ZX1/2 chipsets:
previously the code assumed that these chips were present when no other
of the known chipsets could be probed. This assumption brought SGI
Altrix machines with 64 CPUs to a grinding halt.
build fixes for AMD64.
Made shm* functions in the libc_wrapper more standard conformant by setting
errno correctly.
Use xf86ExendedInitInt10() in VBEExtendedInit() to be able to pass flags.
Improved support for Compose and Kana Lock LED's on Sun keyboards
Add event definitions for additional keys on Sun Japanese keyboards
VUID mouse protocol support for Solaris Make default mouse message clearer
on machines that use a default other than /dev/mouse.
(XFree86 Bugzilla #1438, John Heasley). "To fix this, I've added a
mouse buffer (Xisb buffer) "scale" value to the MouseDevPtr type. If
set, it is used as structure size of which we want space for a few."
IA64 (Egbert Eich).
Fixed wrong function prototype (Egbert Eich).
Don't test for generic VGA on IA64 (Egbert Eich).
Fixed a segfault when accessing a structure before verifying the pointer
exists (Egbert Eich).
Added a showcache option for debugging (Egbert Eich).
Increase default video RAM size to 16MB when DRI is enabled and more than
128MB are available (Egbert Eich). Fixed lockups during mode switch.
Problem was introduced when attempting to copy the behavior during
LeaveVT()/EnterVT() but but forgetting to call I810DRILeave() before
I810DRIEnter(). The entire DRILeave()/Enter() scenario has been
commented out as it didn't seem to be necessary (Egbert Eich).
Fix TweakMemorySize() (tested with i855/i865) (Egbert Eich).
increased MAX_DEVICES to 128 (Egbert Eich).
Use OS provided PCI config space access as default method (Egbert Eich).
Added support for Linux 2.6 proc file format.
Fixed unaligned accesses to pieces of the VBE info block. VESA did not
align elements to size (Egbert Eich).
