The DDX (xfree86 anyway) maintains its own device list in addition to the one
in the DIX. CloseDevice will only remove it from the DIX, not the DDX. If the
server then restarts (last client disconnects), the DDX devices are still
there, will be re-initialised, then the hal devices come in and are added too.
This repeats until we run out of device ids.
This also requires us to strdup() the default pointer/keyboard in
checkCoreInputDevices.
X.Org Bug 14418 <http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14418>
Get rid of glcontextmodes.[ch] from build, rename __GlcontextModes to
__GLXcontext. Drop all #includes of glcontextmodes.h and glcore.h.
Drop the DRI context modes extension.
Add protocol code to DRI2 module and load DRI2 extension by default.
i.e., don't check for the end of the list by ->name == NULL, since that
won't work now. Fix the consumers of xf86DefaultModes to use the new
explicit size as well.
This makes the root visual a GLX capable visual again and adds a GLX visual
for the COMPOSITE ARGB visual cleanly (as opposed to the hack we had before).
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.
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 will allow the screen to not explicitly have a device section. If
this is the case and there is a device section in the xorg.conf, the first
one will be used. If there is no device section at all, a default one will
be created that loads the automatically determined module.
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.
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.
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.
When we see an evdev or vmmouse section, assume that it's a mouse, and
don't add a default mouse device. This will break users who have an
evdev keyboard section but no mouse, and want the mouse to get added
by default.
