If a device property is going to be updated, but failing due
the new value being too big, the buffer isn't freed.
Also compacting the logic for this into small inline function.

XLibre Xserver
Xlibre is a fork of the Xorg Xserver with lots of code cleanups and enhanced functionality.
This fork was necessary since toxic elements within Xorg projects, moles from BigTech, are boycotting any substantial work on Xorg, in order to destroy the project, to eliminate competition of their own products. Classic "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics.
Right after journalists first began covering the planned fork Xlibre, on June 6th 2025, Redhat employees started a purge on the Xlibre founder's GitLab account on freedesktop.org: deleted the git repo, tickets, merge requests, etc, and so fired the shot that the whole world heard.
This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed.
It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome.
Together we'll make X great again!
Upgrade notice
-
Module ABIs have changed - drivers MUST be recompiled against this Xserver version, otherwise the Xserver can crash or fail to start up correctly.
-
If your console is locked up (no input possible, not even VT switch), then most likely the input driver couldn't be loaded due to a version mismatch. When unsure, it's best to be prepared to ssh into your machine from another one or set a timer that's calling
chvt 1after certain time, so you don't need a cold reboot. Or, make sure that you have magicSysRqkey enabled (Alt+PrtSc) via sysctl (kernel.sysrq=1), then press following combination depending on keyboard layout to make kernel regain control over keyboard to make VT switching work:- QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard layout:
SysRq + R - Dvorak/Colemak keyboard layout:
SysRq + P
- QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard layout:
-
Proprietary Nvidia drivers might break: they still haven't managed to do even simple cleanups to catch up with Xorg master for about a year. All attempts to get into direct mail contact have failed. We're trying to work around this, but cannot give any guarantees. But you can make it work by adding
Option "IgnoreABI" "1"line toServerFlagssection in Xorg config. -
Most Xorg drivers should run as-is (once recompiled!), with some exceptions. See
.gitlab-ci.ymlfor the versions/branches built along with Xlibre.
Driver repositories
Since Redhat had deleted and banned all X11Libre repositories from freedesktop.org, the driver repositories are now moved to GitHub:
