The problem fixed by this patch can be reproduced on Linux with the
following steps.
- Access NULL pointer intentionally in ProcessOtherEvent on key press.
- Instead of saving core dump to a file, write it into a pipe.
echo "|/usr/sbin/my-core-dumper" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
- Dump the core by pressing a key.
While the core is being dumped into the pipe, the smart schedule timer
will cause a pending SIGALRM. Linux kernel stops writing data to the
pipe when there are pending signals. This causes the core dump to be
truncated. On my system I'm expecting a 6 MB dump but the size will be
60 kB instead. The problem is solved if we block the SIGALRM caused by
expired smart schedule timer.
I haven't been able to reproduce this problem in the following cases.
- Save core dump to a file instead of a pipe.
- kill -SEGV `pidof Xorg`
- Press a key to dump core while gdb is attached to Xorg.
- Give option -dumbSched to Xorg.
Also note that the fix works only when NoTrapSignals has the default
value FALSE. The problem can still be reproduced if error signals
aren't trapped. In addition to pending SIGALRM, there is a similar
problem with pending SIGIO from the keyboard driver during core dump.

GL/capabilities.c: Add handleDepthModes(), and extend
handleRendererDescription() for the various depth and multisampling flags.
Add initialization of the new config options to initConfig().
GL/capabilities.h: Add depth and multisample config members.
GL/visualConfigs.c: Add depth and multisampling support to the visual config
setup.
(cherry picked from commit f527381eea)
GL/capabilities.c: #if 0 (for now) any capabilities above 8 bits per channel,
because they introduce drawing problems.
GL/indirect.c: Comment out some visual setup code that shouldn't be running, and
actually seemed to cause some problems. The current visualConfigs.c code seems
to do a reasonable job of setting up visuals for XQuartz.
GL/visualConfigs.c: Make use of the proper visual .class. Eliminate depth 0.
It seems we really just want 24 for now, and 0 I think was a flaw in the original
code.
(cherry picked from commit 1e5f63f15e)
This gives us a *lot* more visuals, and they should be more accurate.
Some of the visuals may have been wrong before. This may enable more
OpenGL programs to behave correctly.
I also suspect libGL needs a little work to handle some of these correctly.
