The -wm (when mapped) option for the BackingStore support has been
causing the server to dereference a NULL pointer.
This has probably been the case since backing store has been
implemented on top of Composite.
It looks like (some of?) Composite didn’t expect its WIndowPtr
argument to be the root window.
In Composite’s compCheckRedirect() function we now avoid calling
compAllocPixmap() and compFreePixmap() when the pWin pointer’s
parent member is NULL, as is it the case with a server’s root window.
This addresses:

The composite overlay window code had several misunderstandings of the
workings of the X server, in particular error handling paths would often
double-free objects. Clean all of this up by using resource destruction as
the sole mechanism for freeing resource-based objects.
- This allows some compositing managers to work, even after randr12 has changed the root window size.
- Thanks to ajax for figuring out the best place to put this.
- Example:
- xf86RandR12SetMode() calls EnableDisableFBAccess().
- That calls xf86SetRootClip() which in turn calls ResizeChildrenWinSize().
- The final step is the call to PositionWindow().
These hints allow an acceleration architecture to optimize allocation of certain
types of pixmaps, such as pixmaps that will serve as backing pixmaps for
redirected windows.
This was an attempt to avoid scratch gc creation and validation for paintwin
because that was expensive. This is not the case in current servers, and the
danger of failure to implement it correctly (as seen in all previous
implementations) is high enough to justify removing it. No performance
difference detected with x11perf -create -move -resize -circulate on Xvfb.
Leave the screen hooks for PaintWindow* in for now to avoid ABI change.
compNewPixmap copies bits from the parent window to the redirected child
pixmap to populate the pixmap with reasonable data. It cannot always use
CopyArea as that only works across matching depths. Use Composite when
the depths do not match.
over to new system.
Need to update documentation and address some remaining vestiges of
old system such as CursorRec structure, fb "offman" structure, and
FontRec privates.
Composite's automatic redirection is a more general mechanism than the
ad-hoc BS machinery, so it's much prettier to implement the one in terms
of the other. Composite now wraps ChangeWindowAttributes and activates
automatic redirection for windows with backing store requested. The old
backing store infrastructure is completely gutted: ABI-visible structures
retain the function pointers, but they never get called, and all the
open-coded conditionals throughout the DIX layer to implement BS are gone.
Note that this is still not a strictly complete implementation of backing
store, since Composite will throw the bits away on unmap and therefore
WhenMapped and Always hints are equivalent.
Besides being slightly simpler to read, it's now trivial to add a depth-16
visual to a depth-24 screen just by adding a line for it in the alternate
visual list. Visuals for indexed depths are slightly tricky still.
Installed protocol header version may be newer than the server code base.
Use internal version number for Composite extension to make sure the server
doesn't advertise capabilities it doesn't support.
This patch changes the semantics of manual redirect windows so that they no
longer affect the clip list of their parent. Doing this means the parent can
draw to the area covered by the child without using IncludeInferiors. More
importantly, this also means that the parent receives expose events when
that region is damaged by other actions.
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 new functions to enable and disable events on Map and Unmap.
Use them here to make sure Composite redirect doesn't cause Map/UnmapNotify
events that would confuse window managers.
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>.
to me.
Clean up transition between cheap and expensive GC wrappers by using the
prologue and epilogue macros. Before, the GC would be left unvalidated
sometimes which would cause all kinds of entertaining bugs against a
DDX which cares (XAA).
Eliminate needless (and, it turns out, dangerous) call to ChangeGC on
DestroyGCPrivate.
in cwSetWindowPixmap, check if the pixmap is the screen pixmap and disable
the wrapper by setting the private to NULL.
None works.
Copy filter to backing picture during validation.
Mark picture serialNumber when setting Filter or Transform so Validate
occurs.
Initialize xf86Screens[i]->pScreen to NULL so that RADEON driver doesn't
crash during server reset using old pScreen.
Wrap InstallColormap so that the DDX doesn't see colormaps from our ARGB
visual (avoids lovely green tint to screen). Also, set visual->nplanes
of ARGB visual to all used (including alpha) planes so DIX can set
pixel values correctly.
Translate automatic update regions correctly to account for borders
When nplanes == 32 (ARGB visuals), mask in all ones for alpha values to
allocated pixel values.
Remove redundant fbAddTraps declaration
Fix fbCopyWindow to work on non-screen pixmaps (not needed yet)
Replace broken clipping code with that from modular tree.
Respect subWindowMode.
not, DamageSetup will wrap some operations first, and the cw
initializes during ExtensionInit, so cw comes higher in the wrapping
chain. cw going first will result in damage getting confused when the
drawables get changed around.
appears stable in limited testing.
- Allocate the picture private, avoiding segfault.
- Wrap PaintWindow to draw the background/border to the backing pixmap
(based on Deron Johnson's comptran.c).
- Set the x_off/y_off returns to translate coordinates properly.
- Don't bother allocating temporary areas for the modified coordinates.
Layers above are responsible for handling lower layers changing the
arguments, so cw doesn't have to worry about it. mibstore.c has to do
the allocation because it calls down twice (front buffer and backing
store). (Suggested by keithp)
- Handle the mode argument to PolyPoint, Polylines, and FillPolygon.
- Remove some dead elements in the cw privates.
- Kill a prototype warning in compinit.c by adding the cw.h header.
has several issues, including:
- CopyWindow and PaintWindow wrappers missing (will be done soon)
- Some segfaults seen in the Render wrappers.
- Xprt server build breaks with Composite.
- DDXs must be recompiled for Composite due to VisualRec size change.
- Composite bugs pointed out by Deron Johnson in email.
Also, reorder XFixes initialization according to comments by Keith which
are also in xserver CVS.
