All .a libraries were converted to .la, and instead of linking the
Xorg binary with a mix of .a and .la, and adding some libraries more
then once in the command line, etc, now it generates a single libxorg.la
from all the required convenience libraries, and links with a dummy
xorg.c (that should usually be the file with the main function...).
This removes the requirement of some things like libosandcommon and
libinit, that existed to circumvent problems when linking multiple
.a and .la in the final Xorg binary.
The "symbol table" is now generated dynamically, by a shell script,
with an embedded gawk parser that parses cpp output. The new file
sdksyms.sh is generated by hand by analyzing all Makefile.am's and
making it create a sdksyms.c file, that includes all sdk headers that
will add symbols for the Xorg binary. Module headers aren't read, and
a in 2 files it was required to add a "<hash>ifndef XorgLoader" around
declarations shared between the Xorg binary and libextmod. A few
other changes were added to other sdk headers, like preventing
multiple inclusion, or including other headers to satisfy dependencies.
This should be a lot more portable, and better (hopefully properly)
using libtool to generate convenience libraries.
This moves most of the cursor management code out of the intel driver and
into the general server code. Of course, the hope is that this code will be
useful for other driver writers as well.
Check out xf86Crtc.h for the usage information, making sure you add the
needed hooks to the crtc funcs structure for your driver.
(cherry picked from commit 4d81c99a4660a0bf9014f789de55edabd185bd14)
Code added in hw/xfree86/modes came from the server-1.3-branch.
Portions of this code had previously been integrated into xf86Mode.c
and edid_modes.c.
To preserve hw/xfree86/modes as much as possible, the duplicate code from
the other files has been disabled; a more careful review would figure out
where that code actually belonged.
This code comes from the intel driver, so there's no history in this tree.
As the crtc/output-based mode selection code uses ddc, the ddc and i2c
modules have been merged into the server. Attempts to load them are safely
ignored now.
