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.
If NoAutoAddDevices is given as a server flag, then no devices will be added
from HAL events at all. If NoAutoEnableDevices is given, then the devices will
be added (and the DevicePresenceNotify sent), but not enabled, thus leaving
policy up to the client.
Make sure the font path is always 'built-ins' when we use built-in fonts,
rather than having it as a fixed path for a while, then clobbering it
halfway through startup.
If your loader is as bad as elfloader, then it makes sense for the
server to have some stubs for you to assign to / break on. However it
is no longer 1996.
I made a mistake in some new code using MakeAtom, passing the size of the
string instead of the length of the string. Figuring there might be other
such mistakes, I reviewed the server code and found four bugs of the same
form.
When the root window changed size, xf86XVFillKeyHelper would not revalidate
the GC, leaving the clip at the old size causing lossage (and possibly
memory corruption if the screen and frame buffer shrank).
Fixed by just using a scratch GC; saving memory, eliminating bugs and
shrinking the code.
When the modules section is parsed, if a module is set to be loaded by
default, this will be logged. If it is redundantly specified in xorg.conf,
this will also be noted. None of this logging will happen if the xorg.conf
lacks a modules section.
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.
