support for the DOUBLE-BUFFER extension to the Xprint server and DDX.
Additionally a "pixmap-scrubber" optimisation is added to the
PostScript DDX to remove all content from a vector pixmap when a
|PolyFillRect()| call covers the whole pixmap surface with a solid fill
(this avoids that a backbuffer vector pixmap gets constantly filled
even when the content is not visible anymore after |XdbeSwapBuffers()|
has cleared the hidden buffer with the background color).
platforms.
Compress all font encodings (Stefan Dirsch).
Fixed warnings.
Turn on forwarding XNSpotLocation event to XIM server in OffTheSpot and
Root mode (bugzilla #1580, James Su).
Added another compose key combination for the Euro symbol (Stefan Dirsch).
Added support for UTF-8 in ja_JP, ko_KR and zh_TW locales (Mike Fabian).
Changed default encoding for ru from KOI8-R to ISO8859-5 (Mike Fabian).
This is the encoding that is also used by glibc. We may break other
libcs - lets see who complains.
Added explanation for DESTDIR to install to a different directory than /.
Added some early bailouts to atiprobe if PCI structure pointer is NULL to
prevent sig11.
XV support doesn't depend on 2D acceleration any more. This patch removes
this limitation from the NSC driver. This is a patch that I have
committed to XFree86 a while ago but never ported over to X.Org.
Matthieu Herrb contributed some build fixes.
Fixing SetDPMSTimers() so that DPMS*Time == 0 disables the appropriate
timer. This takes advantage of the fact that TimerSet() with a timeout
argument 0 behaves like TimerCanel().
Use /dev/xconsole (named pipe) or devpts for system logger (Werner Fink).
Create missing links for backward compatibility to XFree86 (Stefan Dirsch).
Changed comment to mention xorg.
Changed cursor for the 'kill' action from XC_draped_box to XC_Pirate. If
you don't like it we can change it back (original author unkown).
Added 'pic' to the man page rendering command pipeline (Werner Fink).
Added missing return value (Stefan Dirsch, Roland Mainz)
on AMD64, regression caused by bug 1496 ("Xorg Xprt does not support
"*xp-listfonts-mode: xp-list-internal-printer-fonts" to toggle the
usage of printer-builtin fonts").
Added support for IBM space saver keyboard (Stefan Dirsch). Added support
for Cherry CyMotion Master XPress (Marcus Schaefer).
Change order of SetDisplayDevice(), HWRestore(), UnbindGART() and
RestoreBIOSMemSize() to be exactly opposite to the Save procedure in
EnterVT() (Matthias Hopf, Alan Hourihane).
Fix text mode restauration by removing the assumption that the register
which determines which head is programmed is set. to the active head by
the BIOS (Mark Vojkovich).
When I wrote the resource code 5 years ago I made some assumptions which
turned out to be false: I've assumed that the bus number of the PCI
hostbridge would be the PCI bus the bridge links to. This is not
correct. Fixing this assumption is not easy. However I hope that the
attached patch will make the system work regardless as it 'ignores'
host bridges from which the target bus is not known. This should not
matter at all as we really don't care about host bridges (unless we
have bridge specific code which retrieves information about the
bridge).
Fixed server crash on reset when a structure allocated in PreInit() was
freed on CloseScreen().
Fixed ring buffer lock ups that happened because the structure that
contained ringbuffer data was not zeroed after allocation.
Fixed numerous warnings due to signed unsigned comparisons.
programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_driver.c:
(NVBacklightEnable): Changed the order in which the sequencer registers
and the backlight control registers are written. The sequencer control
register need to be written first otherwise DPMS screen blanking
produces vertical bars on a mobile device. lib/Xau/Imakefile: Build
libXau static library PIC so it can be linked into toolkits that would
like to wrap its functionality.
version called the driver directly and too late.
Unblank secondary screen explicitely. Don't rely on the value read during
register save as the BIOS have blanked the secondary head.
Checking if server isn't switched away before calling sync. Sanity check
for possible bugs in aother areas of the code.
Fixing default amount of of allocated video memory from AGP for i810: Use
16MB if less than 192MB are installed else use 24MB (Matthias Hopf).
producing spurious characters in PS output when using the bitmap cache
(Originally reported against Solaris Xprt as Sun bug id #4369307, and
fixed in Solaris by Jay Hobson.
visuals to the Postscript DDX (8bit GrayScale/StaticGray, 1bit
StaticGray and the basic infratructure for "deep" visuals with more
than 8bits per RGB gun).
font handling which did not support "*xp-listfonts-modes:
xp-list-internal-printer-fonts" or "*xp-listfonts-modes:
xp-list-glyph-fonts" to toggle the usage of printer-builtin and glyph
fonts in XListFonts*(), XLoad*Font(), etc. Additionally the Xprint DDX
now explicitly list "xp-listfonts-modes" in
"document-attributes-supported" (for document-level) or
"xp-page-attributes-supported" (for page-level) when the DDX implements
this feature (as described in the CDE DtPrint specification).
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/i2c/fi1236.c Make sure formatting
style is consistent within a single function. MT2032 functions are best
be in separate file anyway.
code is practically untouched since xatitv (which was a standalone test
program). However, it all worked and was debugged over long period of
time, so I prefer to to mess with these for now.
New drivers: fi12xx (including MT2032 - this would be be split off later).

support for required assembly inline functions for Sun compilers on
Solaris/sparc.
Add support for Solaris/sparc libraries.
Alan Coopersmith from release 6.8.1.
Fail during initialization with error if font/fontset is not set for
widget. This prevents a sig11 later when the non-existent font/fontset
structs are referenced.
Check if xf86Info.kbdProc pointer is really set before calling it on abort
as this pointer won't be set if the new modular keyboard driver is used
(Matthias Hopf).
Added new libs to the bindist control files.
Removed inclusion of unnecessary kernel header on Linux. This may fail in
an -ansi environment.
chipsets can be probed without OS support as probing them is only
possible using ACPI. One example of this are the HP ZX1/2 chipsets:
previously the code assumed that these chips were present when no other
of the known chipsets could be probed. This assumption brought SGI
Altrix machines with 64 CPUs to a grinding halt.
callbacks may be a bad idea as others may be interested in this event.
Removed the call to XSelectInput() altogether as we are in root window
anyway (Lubos Lunak).
Fix size of a variable that gets assigned the value of SmartScheduleTime
(long) to long. This should help to prevent smart scheduler lockup on
64 bit systems due to overruns (Andreas Schwab).
