Usually, the console is set to RAW in the kbd driver. If we hotplug all input
devices (i.e. the evdev driver for keyboards) and the console is left as-is.
As a result, the evdev driver must put an EVIOCGRAB on the device to avoid
characters leaking onto the console. This again breaks many things, amongst
them lirc, in-kernel mouse button emulation and HAL.
This patch sets the console to RAW if AllowEmptyInput is on.
Use-cases:
1. AEI is off
1.1. Only kbd driver is used - behaviour as-is.
1.2. kbd and evdev driver is used: if evdev does not grab the device,
duplicate events are generated.
2. AEI is on
2.1. Only evdev driver is used - behaviour as-is, but evdev does not need
to grab the device anymore.
2.2. evdev and kbd are used: duplicate key events are generated if evdev
does not grab the device.
1.2 is a marginal use-case that can be fixed by adding a "grab" option to the
evdev driver (update of xorg.conf is needed).
2.2 is an issue. If we have no ServerLayout section, AEI is on, but devices
specified in the xorg.conf are still added [1], resulting in duplicate events.
This is a common configuration and needs sorting out.

I've seen about one case in three years where this has actually been
correlated with the real cause of failure, and we've trained people to
freak out about X_WARNING, so let's be less alarmist.
Very cute, Samsung, not only do you claim to be 16cm by 9cm in the
global size record, you also claim to be 160mm by 90mm in the detailed
timings. Grrr.
The current code exposes to inconsistent updates, i.e. if handler N succeeds
but handler N+1 fails in setting the property, an error is returned to the
client although parts of the server now behave as if the property change
succeeded.
This patch adds a "checkonly" parameter to the SetProperty handler. The
handlers are then called twice, once with checkonly set to TRUE.
On the checkonly run, handlers _MUST_ return error codes if the property
cannot be applied. Handlers are not permitted to actually apply the changes.
On the second run, handlers are permitted to apply property changes.
Errors codes returned on the second run are ignored.
Since we're probably stuck down in a driver somewhere, let's at least
try to point out where. This will need to be rethought when the input
thread work lands though.
Most of its component get copied during CopyKeyClass anyway.
The ones that aren't:
postdown - never changed for virtual devices anyway.
down - shouldn't change that without sending events.
memcpy'ing the struct also copied mapWidth, which means we didn't realloc
during SetKeySymsMap lateron, overwriting the memory assigned to us.
X.Org Bug 16167 <http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16167>
If absolute events were posted, dixflags got set conditionally on whether the
valuators are different from the last posted set of values.
If dixflags are undefined however, the DIX interprets them as relative
valuators. Fix this by making sure defining dixflags is always defined.
X.Org Bug 17724 <http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17734>
NIDR should be used to create a new SD from e.g. within a driver.
DIDR should be used to remove a device from the server.

Use ErrorF for an error message after an xcalloc failure, and return instead of falling through to GlxSetVisualConfigs, or abort()ing at the test branch.
