Dave Airlie 078277e4d9 xf86: autobind GPUs to the screen
This is a modified version of a patch we've been carry-ing in Fedora and
RHEL for years now. This patch automatically adds secondary GPUs to the
master as output sink / offload source making e.g. the use of
slave-outputs just work, with requiring the user to manually run
"xrandr --setprovideroutputsource" before he can hookup an external
monitor to his hybrid graphics laptop.

There is one problem with this patch, which is why it was not upstreamed
before. What to do when a secondary GPU gets detected really is a policy
decission (e.g. one may want to autobind PCI GPUs but not USB ones) and
as such should be under control of the Desktop Environment.

Unconditionally adding autobinding support to the xserver will result
in races between the DE dealing with the hotplug of a secondary GPU
and the server itself dealing with it.

However we've waited for years for any Desktop Environments to actually
start doing some sort of autoconfiguration of secondary GPUs and there
is still not a single DE dealing with this, so I believe that it is
time to upstream this now.

To avoid potential future problems if any DEs get support for doing
secondary GPU configuration themselves, the new autobind functionality
is made optional. Since no DEs currently support doing this themselves it
is enabled by default. When DEs grow support for doing this themselves
they can disable the servers autobinding through the servers cmdline or a
xorg.conf snippet.

Changes in v2:
-Make the default enabled instead of installing a xorg.conf
 snippet which enables it unconditionally

Changes in v3:
-Handle GPUScreen autoconfig in randr/rrprovider.c, looking at
 rrScrPriv->provider, rather then in hw/xfree86/modes/xf86Crtc.c
 looking at xf86CrtcConfig->provider. This fixes the autoconfig not
 working with the nvidia binary driver

Adam Jackson d1c00c859c xfree86: Remove -flippixels
No supported driver supports 1bpp anymore, nor has in a very long time.
This option only worked with vgahw anyway.

Adam Jackson e33be78e2a xfree86: Remove 24bpp pixmap format support (v2)
There's really no reason to pretend to support this, apps hate it, all
we're doing is giving people a way to injure themselves. It doesn't work
anyway with any Radeon, any NVIDIA chip, or any Intel chip since i810.
Rip out all the logic for handling 24bpp pixmaps and framebuffers, and
silently ignore the old options that would ask for it.

The cirrus alpine driver has been updated to default to 16bpp, and both
it and the i810 driver can now use the 32->24 conversion code in shadow
if they want. All other drivers support 32bpp. Configurations that
explicitly request 24bpp in order to fit in VRAM will be broken now
though.

v2: Fix command line options to silently ignore 24bpp rather than fail

Ingo Schwarze 634e357be2 remove bogus \/ escapes
some X manuals use then escape sequence \/ when they want to render
a slash.  That's bad because \/ is not a slash but an italic
correction, never producing any output, having no effect at all in
terminal output, and only changing spacing in a minor way in typeset
output.

Hans de Goede c88a325899 systemd-logind: Only use systemd-logind integration together with keeptty
systemd-logind integration does not work when starting X on a new tty, as
that detaches X from the current session and after hat systemd-logind revokes
all rights any already open fds and refuses to open new fds for X.

This means that currently e.g. "startx -- vt7" breaks, and breaks badly,
requiring ssh access to the system to kill X.

The fix for this is easy, we must not use systemd-logind integration when
not using KeepTty, or iow we may only use systemd-logind integration together
with KeepTty.

Excerpt from http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-March/020481.html:

  The Xorg & xorg.conf substitutions are leftover from the transitional
  period where some distros were building our sources with the XFree86
  and XF86config names until they had time to adjust the rest of their
  packages/installer/config code to the new names.

This will fix inconsistencies and prevent the creation of new unneeded
sed patterns.
