Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys. A must have for this release IMNSHO. I'm
also going to restore the Credits.rtf edits that Egbert deleted in
-CURRENT too. RTF isn't any less human readable than SGML, IMO, and
it's a bit unkind to delete credits. (Especially mine. :-)
bogus anyway (see bugzilla #303) (Egbert Eich).
37. backing out 30.: the sleep() exists to bring the log message to the
attention of the user which points to a problem elsewhere. Therefore
the problem should be fixed where it originates. To be strict we could
make the function fail instead of just trying to point the user at the
problem (Egbert Eich).
InstallFontconfigLibrary NO (Egbert Eich).
33. Updated Xft to 2.1.5 (Egbert Eich).
32. Make ELF loader work on systems with non-exec stack/heaps (bugzilla
#296, John Dennis, Mike Harris).
31. Fix for xdm to work on a non-IPv6 system when built with IPv6 support
(bugzilla #287, Peter Breitenlohner) (confirmed by: Alan Coopersmith).
30. Fix Xi XselectExtensionEvent for 64 bit machines (bugzilla #285,
Andreas Luik) (confirmed by: Paul Anderson, Alan Coopersmith).
XFree86.
17. Fixed Freetype2 compile glitches with different versions of freetype.
The build has been tested with Freetyp 2.1.4 and 2.1.7 (Egbert Eich).
16. Changed default font renderer for TrueType that is loaded by the
Xserver to freetype (Egbert Eich).
15. Removed dependecy of freetype Xserver module into freetype internals
(Keith Packard).
14. Flagged mailing addresses that still need to be decided upon with &&&&&
to allow for easy tracking (Egbert Eich).
13. Fixed keyboard rate setting thru ioctls on linux (Egbert Eich).
10. Made use system supplied Expat and Freetype2 library the default on
Linux (documented in the release notes) (Bugzilla #218,#219) (Egbert
Eich).
9. Patched __AMD64__ flags to __amd64__ (Egbert Eich).
8. Added RELNOTES.XORG to collect bits for release notes for this release
(Egbert Eich).
7. Removed leftovers from libxml2 (Bugzilla #220)(Egbert Eich).
4. Reversed Xutf8* to XFree86utf8* function name changes for the release
(Egbert Eich).
3. Removed sources for patch which were included when patch had a bad bug
(Egbert Eich).
2. Removed unnecessary fonts (Egbert Eich).
1. Removed XIE and PEX extension files from release tree. The build
environment has been gone already (Egbert Eich).
been decided that the priority is to preserve the server's internal
API/ABI so that third-party drivers that depend on symbols like
noPanoramiXExtension, etc., would not need to be recompiled. Too bad
gcc on Linux doesn't support ELF's weak symbols as that would have been
a reasonable solution for preserving the ABI. N.B.: While symbols, i.e.
functions and variables revert to the old name, I did not revert build
names, i.e. -DXINERAMA, to the old -DPANORAMIX. There was no need, and
it's just a build issue that has no impact on the binary output of the
build.
Lanigan's xinerama tree on Sourceforge.Net. No attempt has been made to
handle previous, non-standard versions of the protocol. Nor has any
attempt been made to preserve the ABI of previous versions -- that part
will be added at a later time, and then probably only on systems that
have nice object/linker semantics, e.g. ELF systems with weak symbols.
have redirected subwindows in manual mode. Those clients are marked
Critical and given a significant scheduling boost whenever they receive
a damage notify event. This dramatically improves update frequency.
If the kernel reported a large number of keys, readKernelMapping would walk
off the end of the kdKeysym array.
Fix usage of _IOWR; the 'size' argument is actually a datatype.
drawable pixmap rather than directly into the frame buffer. Rewrite
logic in kdoffscreen to make space for new allocations, now deals
correctly with locked areas.
the server seems to act as before. With RedirectSubwindows (root,
automatic), the server looks just like a regular X server. Now to go
rewrite the (currently lame) compositing manager to get some real
action on the screen.
Some of the fixes here are to make valgrind quiet with various ioctls used
by kdrive/linux.
Also fixed a bug where fbdev initialization was out of order in fbdev.c and
smi.c
