changed the default symbol visibility of the Xserver. As a result 2 symbols
that are needed by the RandR 1.2/1.3 implementation in the fglrx driver are no
longer visible:
xf86configptr
xf86CursorScreenKey
We would like to get these two symbols _X_EXPORT'ed before Xserver 1.7 is
released. Otherwise it will be problematic for fglrx to support RandR 1.3 on
Xserver 1.7.
In the future, we may want to sync our RandR implementation to later versions
of the RandR implementation in hw/xfree86/modes. Therefore it would be nice if
all symbols used by the Xserver RandR implementation were _X_EXPORT'ed in the
future.
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.
This is where they should have been in the first place. All the rest of
the code in the server defines such things in the source files, not the
headers.
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.
Add XSERV_t, TRANS_SERVER, TRANS_REOPEN to quash warnings.
Add #include <dix-config.h> or <xorg-config.h>, as appropriate, to all
source files in the xserver/xorg tree, predicated on defines of
HAVE_{DIX,XORG}_CONFIG_H. Change all Xfont includes to
<X11/fonts/foo.h>.
