(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=2019): Fix
|xf86SignalHandler()| which resets the signal handler before setting
the flag indicating a signal has been caught, theoretically allowing
the possibility of infinite recursion. Patch by Andrew Church

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.
virtually impossible to determine if the old code did what it was
supposed to do. Also changed paradigm: Trust the based address more
than the (guessed) size. (Bugzilla #2383)
problems on may systems which don't support APM standby and might not
be required as according to the APM specs the chips should receive
enough power to retain its state.
- Print out power state change requests to log file in all verbosity
levels.
- Don't change server state if no driver PM function is registered.

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)
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=1530): Fix the current
implementation to make it possible to slow down the mouse pointer or
use arbitrary fractions (without running into rounding error issues).
The change is using the same method of preserving rounding errors that
the exponential method is already using. Patch by Jan Brunner

needed when building this file
- bug fix: pointerMsg -> keyboardMsg in auto-configuration code.
- make the 'kbd' driver the default for autoconfiguration everywhere.
compiled in or not.
Removed stale make variable.
Updated xaaWrapper.c: Under certain circumstances the accel path was not
used when possible. Removed some debugging stuff and stale code that
had been commented out.
Check if maps are really installed before attempting to list them.
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.
Remove old obsolete include/extensions/damage.h.
Include srvrv_ctrl(xfree86) in macintosh US XKB symbol file so VT switching
works again on mac (#1872).
Remove out of place #define's of printf to xf86printf. This definition
should only be in xfree86/os-support/xf86_libc.h
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)
