Drivers and options specified in InputClass sections work on a "first
match wins" strategy. Let's be consistent when documenting it.

With InputClass support, it makes more sense to cover all
aspects of acceleration in options. Previously, one could only set the
default on the command line.

Currently Xorg uses hal's fdi files to decide what configuration options
are applied to automatically added input devices. This is sub-optimal
since it requires users to use a new and different configuration store
than xorg.conf.
The InputClass section attempts to provide a system similar to hal where
configuration can be applied to all devices with certain attributes. For
now, devices can be matched to:
* A substring of the product name via a MatchProduct entry
* A substring of the vendir name via a MatchVendor entry
* A pathname pattern of the device file via a MatchDevicePath entry
* A device type via boolean entries for MatchIsKeyboard, MatchIsPointer,
MatchIsJoystick, MatchIsTablet, MatchIsTouchpad and MatchIsTouchscreen
See the INPUTCLASS section in xorg.conf(5) for more details.

Any input device with this option will be automatically added to whichever
server layout is selected at startup. This removes the need to reference a
device from the ServerLayout section. The two following configuration are
identical:
CONFIG 1:
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "foo"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "foo"
...
EndSection
CONFIG 2:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "foo"
Option "AutoServerLayout" "on"
...
EndSection
The selection of the server layout affects both explicitly specified
layouts and the implicit layout.

Currently there is a single file, xorg.conf, for configuring the server.
This works fine most of the time, but it becomes a problem when packages
or system services need to adjust the configuration. Instead, allow
multiple configuration files to live in a directory. Typically this will
be /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
Files with a suffix of .conf will be read and added to the server
configuration after xorg.conf. The server won't fall back to using the
auto configuration unless there is no config file and there are no files
in the config directory.
Right now this uses a simpler search template than the config file
search path by not using the command line or environment variable
parameters. The matching code was refactored a bit to make this more
coherent. Any DDX wanting to read the config files will need to call
xf86initConfigFiles before opening/reading them. This is to allow
xf86openConfigFile without xf86openConfigDirFiles and vice-versa.

Reshuffle and reword - InputDevice sections are only necessary if
hotplugging is disabled. Put more emphasis on hotplugging and less on HAL
since we'll switch backends eventually.
CorePointer, CoreKeyboard, and AlwaysCore should be listed as deprecated
since they don't do what they used to since 1.4. These days, only
SendCoreEvents matters and it's enabled for any driver calling
xf86ProcessCommonOptions (== every driver).
It only controls the startup behavior too, so document this.

Boolean option to enable/disable SIGIO handlers is set by the first
of these found:
- UseSIGIO option is set in xorg.conf ServerFlags
- Default set at build time by ./configure --enable-use-sigio-by-default
- Platform default value: Solaris = no, all others = yes
This matches the current settings on all platforms except Solaris.
This reverts Solaris (for now) to the settings used in Xorg 1.6, before
SIGIO support for Solaris was added, due to some system level bugs that
won't be resolved in time for Xorg 1.7 release, but allows us to enable
when those are resolved (or when we need to test if they're resolved).

This was a vestige from the days before we'd make the mode list from the
EDID data, and from CRT technology when you could reasonably assume that
higher refresh rates were better. Also it did not function as advertised,
acting as a high-pass filter instead of a band-pass.
Zapping is triggered by xkb these days, so note in the man page that it's the
Terminate_Server action. Since it's XKB, personal preferences towards or
against zapping should be achieved through xkb rulesets.
If Terminate_Server is not in the xkb actions, then we can't zap anyway and we
don't need a default of DontZap "on".
This patch restores the old meaning of DontZap - disallow zapping altogether,
regardless of XKB's current keymap.
Ideally, this patch should be accompanied by b0f64bdab00db652e in
xkeyboard-config.

The Xorg/xorg.conf sections on input device selection could use further
updates to better match the current state of HAL-enabled configuration.
This consists of two parts:
In the implicit server layout, ignore those drivers when looking for a core
device.
And after finishing the server layout, run through the list of devices and
remove any that use mouse or kbd.
AEI is mutually exclusive with the kbd and mouse drivers, so pick either - or.

Remove AEI check from configImpliedLayout as the setting isn't actually parsed
at this point anyway (written by Sasha Hlusiak).
Resurrect checkInput() and check for devices there if AEI is false (this also
creates the default devices if required).
Set AllowEmptyInput to enabled by default if hotplugging is enabled.
Use __libmansuffix__ instead of __oslibmansuffix__ which isn't getting
replaced, and rewrap some text to get __xservername__ replaced in the
description of Option "Accel" (cpp doesn't like the preceding quote).
Right now we default to "all" which gives us a situation much like before,
but when the "typical" option is implemented, we can change the default and
reduce the number of visuals the GLX module bloats the X server with.
Major stylistic cleanups, greatly expanded cross-reference ("SEE ALSO")
section and some typo fixes.
This patch by Branden Robinson. Forward-ported by Fabio M. Di Nitto.
This provides a new option, UseDefaultFontPath. This option is enabled by
default, and causes the X server to always append the default font path
(defined at compile time) to the font path for the server. This will allow
people to specify additional font paths if they want without breaking
their font path, thus hopefully avoiding ye olde "fixed front" problem.
Because this option is a ServerFlag option, the ServerFlags need to be
processed before the files section of the config file, so swap the order
that they are processed.
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.
