There was a complicated scheme to increase the time between keepalives from 3 minutes up to as much as 24 hours in an attempt to reduce network traffic from idle X terminals. X terminals receiving X traffic, or receiving user input would use the 3 minute value; X terminals without any network traffic would use a longer value. However, this was actually broken -- any activity in the X server, either client requests or user input, would end up resetting the keepalive timeout, so a user mashing on the keyboard would never discover that the XDMCP master had disappeared and have the session terminated, which was precisely the design goal of the XDMCP keepalive mechanism. Instead of attempting to fix this, accept the cost of a pair of XDMCP packets once every three minutes and just perform keepalives regularly. This will also make reworking the block and wakeup handler APIs to eliminate select masks easier. Reviewed-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> |

X Server The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into. Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders. For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Please submit bug reports to the Xorg bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg The master development code repository can be found at: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver For patch submission instructions, see: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches For more information on the git code manager, see: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage
