Linux-only fixes: Fix case where a smaller write-combining region
blocks write-combining setting of the whole frame buffer. Fix bug in wc
setting code when regions are first splitted and setting of
write-combining then fails.
DriverFunc() also returns FALSE when the specific sub function isn't
supported. In the case of xf86RandRGetInfo() we simply rely on what has
been set before and return TRUE. In the case of xf86RandRSetConfig() we
only bail with FALSE if we have to do a rotation and the call fails. We
presently cannot do rotation on the fly without the help of a driver
function (Bugzilla #2745).

|xf86SignalHandler()| which resets the signal handler before setting
the flag indicating a signal has been caught, theoretically allowing

permissions when no access to HW registers is required. For API changes
which mostly involve the modifications to make the RRFunc (introduced
with 6.8) more flexible please check Bugzilla #2407. NOTE: This patch
applies changes to OS specific files for other OSes which I cannot
test.
virtually impossible to determine if the old code did what it was
supposed to do. Also changed paradigm: Trust the based address more
than the (guessed) size. (Bugzilla #2383)
problems on may systems which don't support APM standby and might not
be required as according to the APM specs the chips should receive
enough power to retain its state.
- Print out power state change requests to log file in all verbosity
levels.
- Don't change server state if no driver PM function is registered.

relied on the generic VGA layer to restore text console fonts for us
when shutting down the server or VT switching back to the text console.
This has worked rather well but it has some downsides on Linux: a. Many
people use fbdev as console text mode. In this case it is not necessary
to save/restore console fonts as the console is running in graphics
mode anyway. b. Some architectures don't have a fbdev console but
require a full POST of even the primary card (ie. IA64). This posting
has to take place before we even have a chance to save anything.
Therefore the fonts we save are the once written to the chip by POST,
not what has been programmed by the user. c. Certain chipsets utilize
the BIOS to perform mode setting. This may interfer with the vga
save/restore font function in a strange way. It would therefore be
preferrable to let the OS - which has been used to set up the font in
the first place - take care of saving/restoring the data. I will attach
a patch which will do so for Linux. To make this fully functional a
small patch needs to be applied to the Linux kernel. To disable this
feature add: #define DoOSFontRestore NO to your host.def. (Bugzilla
#2277)
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=1530): Fix the current
implementation to make it possible to slow down the mouse pointer or
use arbitrary fractions (without running into rounding error issues).
The change is using the same method of preserving rounding errors that
the exponential method is already using. Patch by Jan Brunner

Removed stale make variable.
Updated xaaWrapper.c: Under certain circumstances the accel path was not
used when possible. Removed some debugging stuff and stale code that
had been commented out.
Check if maps are really installed before attempting to list them.
