This extension provided bug-compatibility with pre-X11R6, but has been
stubbed out in our server since 2006 to return BadRequest when you actually
asked for it.
Formerly the code claimed it could only handle up to 256 visuals, which
was true. Also true, but not explicitly stated, was that it could only
handle visuals with VID < 256. If you have enough screens, and subsystems
that add lots of visuals, you can easily run off the end. (Made worse
because we allocate visual IDs from the same pool as XIDs.) If your app
then chooses a visual > 256, then the Xinerama code would throw BadMatch
on CreateColormap and your app wouldn't start.
With this change, PanoramiXVisualTable is gone. Other subsystems that
were using it as a translation table between each screen's visuals now
use a PanoramiXTranslateVisual() helper.
We need to start breaking the XKB API to enforce sanity, so drag whichever
headers we need to do so into the server tree, as the client API is set in
stone, being part of Xlib.
RISC chips that trap on unaligned loads and stores need to
define __GLX_ALIGN64. This used to get added to the cflags
in the old *.cf files but it no longer does in the modular
X server.
Also, Alpha needs to pass -mieee to the compiler as well.
This is a simple backport of a patch that debian, and probably other
distributions, have been applying forever. To the best of my
knowledge the patch was written by Jurij Smakov. See Debian bug
number #388125.
I just checked and this has been rotting for more than a year in
freedesktop bugzilla as #8392.

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.
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.
This cleans up server Makefile.ams a little bit, but also means that people
messing with configure.ac need to be careful with whether they put libraries
in the _LIBS or _SYS_LIBS targets. Hopefully the comment in configure.ac will
clarify the issues.
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.
Now, fbcmap_mi.c contains the fb functions which just wrap mi functions.
Previously, these were in fbcmap.c and compiled when XFree86Server was defined.
Now, clients of fbcmap should either use fbcmap.c or fbcmap_mi.c and not worry
about setting the XFree86Server symbol.
It seems that the changes to X input exposed a problem that wasn't detected
before. The axis clipping code in GetPointerEvents() uses those limits to
constrain the pointer's coordinate range. The max was zero so the pointer
couldn't move.
