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.
Previously, the server version reported by xdpyinfo and Xorg -version would
bear some vague resemblance to a X.Org katamari version, but in the presence
of modularization (and client-server relationships with different katamari
versions on each side) those numbers don't really make sense. Instead, just
report the package version.
When branching a stable branch, master's version should be immediately updated
to the endpoint of the stable branch plus a snapshot of 1 (for example,
1.4.0.1 after server-1.4-branch). The stable branch should then be changed to
RC0 at that time (1.3.99.0, for example).
This scheme was partially attempted for server 1.3, but lacked the appropriate
master updates, thus why it had to be revisited now. While here, we can also
remove a lot of versioning complexity since everything is based on the package
version.
Make sure the font path is always 'built-ins' when we use built-in fonts,
rather than having it as a fixed path for a while, then clobbering it
halfway through startup.
I made a mistake in some new code using MakeAtom, passing the size of the
string instead of the length of the string. Figuring there might be other
such mistakes, I reviewed the server code and found four bugs of the same
form.
There's no need to store the slot information for a PCI device as its
ID. Instead, skip the middle man and just store a pointer to the
pci_device structure.
As discussed on the mailing list, people would rather have an X command-line
option to print the module path so installers can know where to put modules,
rather than the installers using `pkg-config --variable=moduledir xorg-server`,
since some distros choose not to install xorg-server.pc.

Re-removed most of the conflicting files.
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_matching_devices_to_configure_list, and check_for_matching_devices
from xf86Helper.c to xf86Init.c. These functions are only called from
a single place in xf86Init.c, so it makes sense for them to live
there. They were originally in xf86Helper.c because they evolved out
another function that was already in that file.
