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.
DGAStealXXXEvent modified to take in device argument.
The evdev driver only sends one valuator when only one axis changed. We need
to check for DGA either way (xf86PostMotionEventP), otherwise we lose purely
horizontal/vertical movements.
Note that DGA does not do XI events.
Center the frame around the first pointer found and then update all pointers
on the same screen to move to the edges (if necessary).
Note: xf86WarpCursor needs to be modified, is using deprecated
miPointerWarpCursor and will kill the server when called with
inputInfo.pointer.
When processing events from the EQ, _always_ call the processInputProc of the
matching device. For XI devices, this proc is wrapped in three layers.
Core event handling is wrapped by XI event handling, which is wrapped by XKB.
A core event now passes through XKB -> XI -> DIX.
This gets rid of a sync'd grab problem: with the previous code, core events
did disappear during a sync'd device grab on account of mieqProcessInputEvents
calling the processInputProc of the VCP/VCK instead of the actual device. This
lead to the event being processed as normal instead of being enqueued for
later replaying.
Call ProcessOtherEvents first, then for all keyboard devices let them be
wrapped by XKB. This way all XI events will go through XKB.
Note that the VCK is still not wrapped, so core events will bypass XKB.
Add keyc->postdown, which represents the key state as of the last mieqEnqueue
call, and use it when we need to know the posted state, instead of the
processed state (keyc->down). Add small functions to getevents.c to query and
modify key state in postdown and use them all through, eliminating previously
broken uses.
In commit 41bb9fce47, the event delivery loop
for Xinput enabled keyboards was changed and accidentally used the wrong
index variable, causing random events to be delivered when returning from VT
switch.
In addition, in commit aeba855b07,
SIGIO was blocked during delivery of these events, but not for the entire
period the xf86Events array was being used. Block SIGIO for the whole loop
to avoid other event delivery from trashing the key release events.

Previously, the server version reported by xdpyinfo and Xorg -version would
bear some vague resemblance to a X.Org katamari version, but in the presence
of modularization (and client-server relationships with different katamari
versions on each side) those numbers don't really make sense. Instead, just
report the package version.
When branching a stable branch, master's version should be immediately updated
to the endpoint of the stable branch plus a snapshot of 1 (for example,
1.4.0.1 after server-1.4-branch). The stable branch should then be changed to
RC0 at that time (1.3.99.0, for example).
This scheme was partially attempted for server 1.3, but lacked the appropriate
master updates, thus why it had to be revisited now. While here, we can also
remove a lot of versioning complexity since everything is based on the package
version.
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.
This was a bunch of poorly defined resource ranges per OS/platform combination
which were supposed to represent what regions could potentially have resources
allocated into them.
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.
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.
Make sure the font path is always 'built-ins' when we use built-in fonts,
rather than having it as a fixed path for a while, then clobbering it
halfway through startup.
If your loader is as bad as elfloader, then it makes sense for the
server to have some stubs for you to assign to / break on. However it
is no longer 1996.
