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.
