When available, use the 2D driver texOffsetStart hook and the 3D driver
setTexOffset hook to save the overhead of passing the pixmap data to
glTex(Sub)Image.
The basic idea is to update the driver specific 'offset' for bound pixmaps
before dispatching a GLX render request and to flush immediately afterwards
if there are any pixmaps bound. This should ensure that the 3D driver can
use pixmaps for texturing directly regardless of the X server moving them
around.
To be used by AIGLX for GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap without several data copies.
The texOffsetStart hook must make sure that the given pixmap is accessible by
the GPU for texturing and return an 'offset' that can be used by the 3D
driver for that purpose.
The texOffsetFinish hook is called when the pixmap is no longer being used for
texturing.
This counter exposes the time in milliseconds since the last
input event. Clients such as screen savers and power managers
can set an alarm on this counter to find out when the idle time
reaches a certain value, without having to poll the server.
DRI uses a non-screen block/wakeup handler which will be executed after the
screen block handler finishes. To ensure that the rotation block handler is
executed under the DRI lock, dynamically wrap the screen block handler for
rotation.
Leaving devices enabled during server startup can cause problems during the
initial mode setting in the server, especially when they are used for
different purposes by the X server than by the BIOS. Disabling all of them
before any mode setting is attempted provides a stable base upon which the
remaining mode setting operations can be built.
The code in hw/xfree86/os-support/bus/sparcPci.c:simbaCheckBus()
is trying to mimmick VGA routing by disabling I/O space responses
behind the Simba PCI-PCI controller.
Unfortunately, doing this also happens to disable access to the
IDE controller I/O space registers, thus crashing the system. The
granularity of the I/O disabling in the Simba controller is not
fine enough to disable VGA without also disabling the IDE controller
registers.
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.
This new function walks the composite region and calls a rectangle
compositing function on each compositing rectangle. Previously there
were buggy duplicates of this code in fbcompose.c and
miext/rootles/safealpha/safeAlphaPicture.c.
Previously, the new mode was added at the head of the list. This caused the
positional correspondence between modes and the XMesaVisuals array to be off
by one. The net result was GLX clients failing when they tried to use the
last GLX mode/visual.
We still have the problem of DRI drivers not being able to use the extra
mode/visual introduced by __glXCreateARGBConfig(). glXCreateContext fails
with BadAlloc if it's attempted. This is also the source of the often-
seen warning "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual xxx"
Look into fixing that someday...
