delivery of events to windows and clients.
This is tentative. It's likely that an additional last-resort hook will
be necessary for code that calls TryClientEvents or WriteEventsToClient
directly. It's also possible that new xace machinery will be necessary
to classify events and pull useful resource ID's out of them.
The failure case also needs some thinking through. Should event delivery
"succeed" or should it report undeliverable?
Finally, XKB appears to call WriteToClient to pass events. Sigh.
over to new system.
Need to update documentation and address some remaining vestiges of
old system such as CursorRec structure, fb "offman" structure, and
FontRec privates.
Composite's automatic redirection is a more general mechanism than the
ad-hoc BS machinery, so it's much prettier to implement the one in terms
of the other. Composite now wraps ChangeWindowAttributes and activates
automatic redirection for windows with backing store requested. The old
backing store infrastructure is completely gutted: ABI-visible structures
retain the function pointers, but they never get called, and all the
open-coded conditionals throughout the DIX layer to implement BS are gone.
Note that this is still not a strictly complete implementation of backing
store, since Composite will throw the bits away on unmap and therefore
WhenMapped and Always hints are equivalent.
LessThan/GreaterThan comparisons were used in the wakeup handler,
and LessOrEqual/GreaterOrEqual in the block handler.
Change it to use LessOrEqual/GreaterOrEqual in both functions,
since this is what XSyncNegativeComparison and
XSyncPositiveComparison imply.
Allow the location of the SERVERCONFIGdir variable to be defined at
compile-time. This allows us to specify where the security policy will be
located (Debian uses this to put it in /etc). The default is to the
previous location.
This counter exposes the time in milliseconds since the last
input event. Clients such as screen savers and power managers
can set an alarm on this counter to find out when the idle time
reaches a certain value, without having to poll the server.
arbitrary X status codes instead of just TRUE/FALSE.
The dix layer in most cases still does not propagate the return value of
XACE hooks back to the client, however. There is more error propagation
work to do.
The former <X11/extensions/XKBsrv.h> has been pulled into the server now as
include/xkbsrv.h, and the world updated to look for it in the new place,
since it made no sense to define server API in an extension header. Any
further work along this line will need to do similar things with XKBgeom.h
and friends.
