Previously, the server version reported by xdpyinfo and Xorg -version would
bear some vague resemblance to a X.Org katamari version, but in the presence
of modularization (and client-server relationships with different katamari
versions on each side) those numbers don't really make sense. Instead, just
report the package version.
When branching a stable branch, master's version should be immediately updated
to the endpoint of the stable branch plus a snapshot of 1 (for example,
1.4.0.1 after server-1.4-branch). The stable branch should then be changed to
RC0 at that time (1.3.99.0, for example).
This scheme was partially attempted for server 1.3, but lacked the appropriate
master updates, thus why it had to be revisited now. While here, we can also
remove a lot of versioning complexity since everything is based on the package
version.
* configure.ac: re-sort Kdrive libs so that symbols get properly resolved.
Basically, all some libs are present in both $KDRIVE_LIBS and $XSERVER_LIBS,
and some libs orders are not correct. So I made sure Kdrive servers don't have
to link against $KDRIVE_LIBS *and* $XSERVER_LIBS. They just have to link
against $KDRIVE_LIBS now.
* hw/kdrive/*/Makefile.am: update those makefile to reflect the change in configure.ac
One of these I introduced by listing dix and mi in the same library list to
simplify other servers. The other had been hacked around using libosandcommon,
which is now gone.
This cleans up server Makefile.ams a little bit, but also means that people
messing with configure.ac need to be careful with whether they put libraries
in the _LIBS or _SYS_LIBS targets. Hopefully the comment in configure.ac will
clarify the issues.
The author of the int10 code looked at the VBIOS POSTing code
in DOSEMU to get some initial idea on how to POST a VBIOS.
To give credit to the DOSEMU Team for this inspiration a comment
was added to the code which could suggest that code from the
GPLed DOSEMU was directly incorporated into this code.
This patch should clearify the situation.
Licensing issues of these files include:
- They claim to be licensed under the GPL, yet we haven't allowed that in the
xserver repository in the past.
- They refer the user to the top of the tree for GPL license text, yet it isn't
there.
- They claim to be derived from the (MIT-licensed) ati kdrive code, yet don't
follow the licensing terms of those files.
Note that pciaccess doesn't yet have Net/OpenBSD support, but the relevant
code should go there instead of disconnected code in the X Server.
While here, remove the now-disabled INCLUDE_XF86_NO_DOMAIN from the headers,
and un-disable xf8StdAccResFromOS for those OSes without domain support which
will need it.
This was a bunch of poorly defined resource ranges per OS/platform combination
which were supposed to represent what regions could potentially have resources
allocated into them.
Debian bug #272368http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272368
In certain locales, some characters from some TrueType fonts were not
appearing in the Xprint postscript output due to the font not being
identified in the postscript output.
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.
xf86RandR12ScreenSetSize must protect calls to EnableDisableFBAccess with
suitable vtSema checks to avoid invoking driver code while the X server is
inactive.
The multi-crtc cursor code in hw/xfree86/modes holds a reference to the
current cursor. This reference must be correctly ref counted so the cursor
is not freed out from underneath this code.
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.
A bunch of CFLAGS had gone missing, so the build failed with errors like:
../../../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_ev56.c:7:19: error: input.h: No such file or directory
../../../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_ev56.c:8:24: error: scrnintstr.h: No such file or directory
As a result, we can remove the quirks that existed to flip the bits back around
for us. This is not confirmed in all cases due to lack of bugs containing EDID
blocks associated with the quirks, but is likely true.
