These are private symbols, but used by the X Server.
The newly exported symbols were not added to the sdk headers.
Optionally, libxf86config could be compiled without hidden symbols
when being installed.
Thanks to Maarten Maathuis for noticing the problem.
All .a libraries were converted to .la, and instead of linking the
Xorg binary with a mix of .a and .la, and adding some libraries more
then once in the command line, etc, now it generates a single libxorg.la
from all the required convenience libraries, and links with a dummy
xorg.c (that should usually be the file with the main function...).
This removes the requirement of some things like libosandcommon and
libinit, that existed to circumvent problems when linking multiple
.a and .la in the final Xorg binary.
The "symbol table" is now generated dynamically, by a shell script,
with an embedded gawk parser that parses cpp output. The new file
sdksyms.sh is generated by hand by analyzing all Makefile.am's and
making it create a sdksyms.c file, that includes all sdk headers that
will add symbols for the Xorg binary. Module headers aren't read, and
a in 2 files it was required to add a "<hash>ifndef XorgLoader" around
declarations shared between the Xorg binary and libextmod. A few
other changes were added to other sdk headers, like preventing
multiple inclusion, or including other headers to satisfy dependencies.
This should be a lot more portable, and better (hopefully properly)
using libtool to generate convenience libraries.
Save in a few special cases, _X_EXPORT should not be used in C source
files. Instead, it should be used in headers, and the proper C source
include that header. Some special cases are symbols that need to be
shared between modules, but not expected to be used by external drivers,
and symbols that are accessible via LoaderSymbol/dlopen.
This patch also adds conditionally some new sdk header files, depending
on extensions enabled. These files were added to match pattern for
other extensions/modules, that is, have the headers "deciding" symbol
visibility in the sdk. These headers are:
o Xext/panoramiXsrv.h, Xext/panoramiX.h
o fbpict.h (unconditionally)
o vidmodeproc.h
o mioverlay.h (unconditionally, used only by xaa)
o xfixes.h (unconditionally, symbols required by dri2)
LoaderSymbol and similar functions now don't have different prototypes,
in loaderProcs.h and xf86Module.h, so that both headers can be included,
without the need of defining IN_LOADER.
xf86NewInputDevice() device prototype readded to xf86Xinput.h, but
not exported (and with a comment about it).
These symbols were removed from the X Server, or never declared.
One symbol that may need special attention is XkbBuildCoreState(),
that doesn't have a prototype anywhere, but is called from
xkb/xkbEvents.c:XkbFilterEvents(), and also used by the macros
XkbStateFieldFromRec() and XkbGrabStateFromRec() defined in
include/xkbstr.h.
fb/wfbrename.h also may need some cleanup, as it makes several
"renames" of non existing symbols.
This is the biggest "visibility" patch. Instead of doing a "export"
symbol on demand, export everything in the sdk, so that if some module
fails due to an unresolved symbol, it is because it is using a symbol
not in the sdk.
Most exported symbols shouldn't really be made visible, neither
advertised in the sdk, as they are only used by a single shared object.

anywhere include:

This patch exports all symbols required by the compilable
(in a x86 linux computer) xorg/driver/* modules.
Still missing symbols worth mentioning are:
sunleo
miFindMaxBand no longer available
intel (uxa/uxa-accel.c)
fbShmPutImage no longer available (and should have been static)
mga
MGAGetClientPointer (should come from matrox's libhal)
This is not a definitive "visibility" patch, as all it does is to
export missing symbols, but the modules that current don't compile,
may require more symbols once fixed, and third party drivers should
also require more symbols exported.
A "definitive" patch should export symbols defined in the sdk.
If none is present, a default one will be created. This will be attached
to either the first device section in the xorg.conf (allowing you to
specify something like using EXA without having a screen section) or a
default screen section if none is present in the file.
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.
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.
New modes header files required a few minor changes to be used by external
drivers, the most notable of which is the publication of the config file
parser header files.
CFLAGS is a user variable, extracted from the environment at configure time
and settable by the user at build time. We must not override this variable.
