Release Notes for X11R7.5 Abstract These release notes contains information about features and their status in the X.Org Foundation X11R7.5 release. ------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents [1]Introduction to the X11R7.5 Release [2]Summary of new features in X11R7.5 [3]Drivers [4]Overview of X11R7.5 [5]Miscellaneous [6]Deprecated components and removal plans [7]Attributions/Acknowledgements/Credits Introduction to the X11R7.5 Release This release is the sixth modular release of the X Window System. The next full release will be X11R7.6 and is expected in 2010. For help with how to build and develop in the modular tree see the [8]Modular Developer's Guide in the X.Org wiki. We encourage you to submit bug fixes and enhancements to freedesktop.org's [9]bug tracking system using the xorg product, and to discuss them on <[10]xorg@lists.freedesktop.org>. More details on patch submission and review process are available on the [11]SubmittingPatches page of the X.Org wiki. The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system. X11 refers to the version of the network protocol that the X Window system is based on: Version 11 was first released in 1988 and has been stable for 21 years, with only upward compatible additions to the core X protocol, a record of stability envied in computing. Formal releases of X started with X version 9 from MIT; the first commercial X products were based on X version 10. The MIT X Consortium and its successors, the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.Org Group released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6. Since the founding of the X.Org Foundation in early 2004, many further releases have been issued, from X11R6.7 to the current 7.5. The next section describes what is new in the latest version (7.5) compared with the previous full release (7.4). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of new features in X11R7.5 This is a sampling of the new features in X11R7.5. A more complete list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog files that are part of the source of each X module. * Multi-Pointer X (MPX) provides the user with multiple independent mouse cursors and multiple independent keyboard foci. Each cursor is a true system cursor and different pointers can operate in multiple applications simultaneously. * Input device properties allow you to attach properties to a device. These properties can be of arbitrary type and can be changed without the server having to know their details. * The X Input Extension version 2.0 (XI2) is designed to replace both core input processing and prior versions of the X Input Extension. Besides MPX, it provides a number of other enhancements over version 1.5, including: * use of XGE and GenericEvents. * explicit device hierarchy of master and slave devices. * the ability for devices to change capabilities at runtime. * raw device events * Resize, Rotate and Reflect Extension (RANDR) version 1.3 builds on the changes made with version 1.2 and adds some new capabilities without fundmentally changing the extension again. The following features are added in this version: Projective Transforms The implementation work for general rotation support made it trivial to add full projective transformations. These can be used to scale the screen up/down as well as perform projector keystone correct or other effects. Panning Panning was removed with RandR 1.2 because the old semantics didn't fit any longer. With RandR 1.3 panning can be specified per crtc. * The DRI2 extension is designed to associate and access auxillary rendering buffers with an X drawable. It is a essentially a helper extension to support implementation of direct rendering drivers/libraries/technologies. The main consumer of this extension will be a direct rendering OpenGL driver, but the DRI2 extension is not designed to be OpenGL specific. Direct rendering implementations of OpenVG, Xv, cairo and other graphics APIs should find the functionality exposed by this extension helpful and hopefully sufficient. * Video and input driver enhancements. Please see the ChangeLog files for individual drivers; there are far too many updates to list here. * ... and the usual assortment of correctness and crash fixes.

This binary can dynamically load the video drivers, input drivers, and other modules that are needed. Xorg has currently has support for Linux, Solaris, and some BSD OSs on Alpha, PowerPC, IA-64, AMD64, Intel x86, Sparc, and MIPS platforms. Additional specialized X server binaries may be found depending on the platform and build configuration, including: Xdmx is a proxy X server that uses one or more other X servers as its display devices. It provides multi-head X functionality for displays that might be located on different machines. Xnest is a nested X server, that operates as both an X client and X server. Xnest is a client of the real server which manages windows and graphics requests on its behalf. Xnest is a server to its own clients, and manages windows and graphics requests on their behalf. To these clients, it appears to be a conventional server. Xephyr is a X server that outputs to a window on a pre-existing "host" X display. Unlike Xnest which is an X proxy, and thus limited to the capabilities of the host X server, Xephyr is a full X server which uses the host X server window as "framebuffer" via fast SHM XImages. Xvfb is a virtual framebuffer X server that can run on machines with no display hardware and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual memory. Xquartz is an X server that interacts with the MacOS X native Aqua window system, displaying windows on the Mac desktop and accepting input from the Mac system devices, allowing X11 applications to be used in a native Mac desktop session. Xwin is an X server that runs under the Cygwin environment, interacting with the Microsoft Windows native window system, displaying windows on the Windows desktop and accepting input from the Windows system devices, allowing X11 applications to be used in a native Windows desktop session. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loader and Modules The Xorg server relies on the operating system's native module loader support for handling program modules. The X server makes use of modules for video drivers, X server extensions, font rasterisers, input device drivers, framebuffer layers, and internal components used by some drivers (like XAA). The module interfaces (both API and ABI) used in this release are subject to change without notice. While we will attempt to provide backward compatibility for the module interfaces, we cannot guarantee this. Compatibility in the other direction is explicitly not guaranteed because new modules may rely on interfaces added in new releases. [57]Warning Note about module security The X server runs with root privileges, i.e., the X server loadable modules also run with these privileges. For this reason we recommend that all users be careful to only use   loadable modules from reliable sources, otherwise the introduction of viruses and contaminated code can occur and wreak havoc on your system. We hope to have a mechanism for signing/verifying the modules that we provide available in a future release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Configuration File The X server uses a configuration file as the primary mechanism for providing configuration and run-time parameters. The configuration file format is described in detail in the [58]xorg.conf(5) manual page. Note that this release features significant improvements for running the server without a configuration file, so many users may find that that they don't need a configuration file. If you do need to customize the configuration file, see the [59]xorg.conf manual page . You can also check the driver-specific manual pages and the related documentation (found at [60]driver tables also. The recommended method for generating a configuration file is to use the Xorg server itself. Run as root: Xorg -configure and follow the instructions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Command Line Options Command line options can be used to override some default parameters and parameters provided in the configuration file. These command line options are described in the [61]Xorg(1) manual page. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- XAA The XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) was completely rewritten from scratch for XFree86 4.x and is used in X11R7.5. Most drivers implement acceleration by making use of the XAA module. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXA EXA was created as a new driver acceleration architecture to replace XAA. EXA was designed specifically to accelerate Render operations. This release features improved driver support for EXA. See the individual driver changelogs for details. Users should beware that EXA support is considered to be incomplete in X11R7.5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Multi-head Some multi-head configurations are supported in X11R7.5, primarily with multiple PCI/AGP cards. One of the main problems is with drivers not sufficiently initializing cards that were not initialized at boot time. This has been improved somewhat with the INT10 support that is used by most drivers (which allows secondary card to be "soft-booted", but in some cases there are other issues that still need to be resolved. Some combinations can be made to work better by changing which card is the primary card (either by using a different PCI slot, or by changing the system BIOS's preference for the primary card). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Xinerama Xinerama is an X server extension that allows multiple physical screens to behave as a single screen. With traditional multi-head in X11, windows cannot span or cross physical screens. Xinerama removes this limitation. Xinerama does, however, require that the physical screens all have the same root depth, so it isn't possible, for example, to use an 8-bit screen together with a 16-bit screen in Xinerama mode. Xinerama is not enabled by default, and can be enabled with the +xinerama command line option for the X server. Known problems: * Most window managers are not Xinerama-aware, and so some operations like window placement and resizing might not behave in an ideal way. This is an issue that needs to be dealt with in the individual window managers, and isn't specifically an X server problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DGA version 2 DGA 2.0 is included in 7.5. Documentation for the client libraries can be found in the [62]XDGA(3) man page. A good degree of backward compatibility with version 1.0 is provided. DGA should be considered deprecated; if you are relying on it, please let us know what you need it for so we can find better solutions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDC The VESA� Display Data Channel (DDC™) standard allows the monitor to tell the video card (or on some cases the computer directly) about itself; particularly the supported screen resolutions and refresh rates. Partial or complete DDC support is available in most of the video drivers. DDC is enabled by default, but can be disabled with a "Device" section entry: Option "NoDDC". We have support for DDC versions 1 and 2; these can be disabled independently with Option "NoDDC1" and Option "NoDDC2". At startup the server prints out DDC information from the display, and can use this information to set the default monitor parameters, or to warn about monitor sync limits if those provided in the configuration file don't match those that are detected. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changed behavior caused by DDC. Several drivers uses DDC information to set the screen size and pitch. This can be overridden by explicitly resetting it to the and non-DDC default value 75 with the -dpi 75 command line option for the X server, or by specifying appropriate screen dimensions with the "DisplaySize" keyword in the "Monitor" section of the config file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- GLX and the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) Direct rendered OpenGL� support is provided for several hardware platforms by the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI). Further information about DRI can be found at the [63]DRI Project's web site. The 3D core rendering component is provided by [64]Mesa. Of note is that this release supports building the X server using the system-wide libdrm. Previously, drm was kept in the server's tree and loaded as a module, rather than using the standard OS mechanisms for managing shared libraries of code. This requires that the server be built using a version of libdrm of 2.3.0 or newer if it is to use DRM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Font support Details about the font support in X11R7.5.x can be found in the [65]README.fonts document. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Type1 Font support Previous versions of X came with two Postscript Type1 font backends. The functionality from the `Type1' backend has been replaced by the Type1 support in the `FreeType' backend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Xlib Compose file support and extensions A more flexible Compose file processing system was added to Xlib in X11R7.5. The compose file is searched for in the following order:  1. If the environment variable $XCOMPOSEFILE is set, its value is used as the name of the Compose file.  2. If the user's home directory has a file named ".XCompose", it is used as the Compose file.  3. The old method is used, and the compose file is "//Compose". Compose files can now use an "include" instruction. This allows local modifications to be made to existing compose files without including all of the content directly. For example, the system's iso8859-1 compose file can be included with a line like this: include "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose" There are two substitutions that can be made in the file name of the include instruction. %H expands to the user's home directory (the $HOME environment variable), and %L expands to the name of the locale specific Compose file (i.e., "//Compose"). For example, you can include in your compose file the default Compose file by using: include "%L" and then rewrite only the few rules that you need to change. New compose rules can be added, and previous ones replaced. Finally, it is no longer necessary to specify in the right part of a rule a locale encoded string in addition to the keysym name. If the string is omitted, Xlib figures it out from the keysym according to the current locale. I.e., if a rule looks like: : "\300" Agrave the result of the composition is always the letter with the "\300" code. But if the rule is: : Agrave the result depends on how Agrave is mapped in the current locale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luxi fonts from Bigelow and Holmes The X distribution includes the ``Luxi'' family of Type�1 fonts and TrueType fonts. This family consists of the fonts ``Luxi�Serif'', ``Luxi�Sans'' and ``Luxi�Mono'' in Roman, oblique, bold and bold oblique variants. The TrueType version have glyphs covering the basic ASCII Unicode range, the Latin�1 range, as well as the Extended Latin range and some additional punctuation characters. In particular, these fonts include all the glyphs needed for ISO�8859 parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 13 and 15, as well as all the glyphs in the Adobe Standard encoding and the Windows 3.1 character set. The glyph coverage of the Type�1 versions is somewhat reduced, and only covers ISO�8859 parts 1, 2 and 15 as well as the Adobe Standard encoding. The Luxi fonts are original designs by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow from Bigelow and Holmes Inc., who developed the Luxi typeface designs in Ikarus digital format. URW++ Design and Development GmbH converted the Ikarus format fonts to TrueType and Type�1 font programs and implemented the grid-fitting "hints" and kerning tables in the Luxi fonts. The license terms for the Luxi fonts are included in the file `COPYRIGHT.BH', as well as in the [66]License document. For further information, please contact <[67]design@bigelowandholmes.com> or <[68]info@urwpp.de>, or consult the [69]URW++ web site. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miscellaneous This section describes other items of note for the X11R7.5 release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Socket directory ownership and permissions The socket directories created in /tmp are now required to be owned by root and have their sticky-bit set. If the permissions are not set correctly, the component using this directory will print an error message and fail to start. Common socket directories that are known to be affected include: /tmp/.font-unix /tmp/.ICE-unix /tmp/.X11-unix These directories are used by the font server, xfs, applications using the Inter-Client Exchange protocol (ICE) and the X server, respectively. There are several solutions to the problem of when to create these directories. They could be created at install time by the system's installer if the /tmp dir is persistent. They could be created at boot time by the system's boot scripts (e.g., the init.d scripts). Or, they could be created by PAM modules at service startup or user login time. The solution chosen is platform dependent, and the system administrator should be able to handle creating those directories on any systems that do not have the correct ownership or permissions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Composite exposes extra visuals When the Composite extension is enabled, a new visual is created. This visual is different from the other visuals used by X applications in that it includes an alpha component. It is used by the compositing manager and other Composite aware applications. Most X applications ignore this visual since it is not useful to them; however some applications mistakenly try to use it, which will cause them to fail. An environment variable, XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS, was added to the X11 library to hide this visual from applications that mistakenly try to use it. If an application fails only when the Composite is enabled, try setting this environment variable before starting the application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deprecated components and removal plans This section lists current plans for removal of obsolete or deprecated components in the X.Org releases. As our releases are open source, users who continue to require these can find the source in previous releases and continue to use these, but the X.Org Foundation and its volunteers have decided the burden of continued maintenance and distribution in the core X11 releases outweighs the benefits of doing so. In some cases, this is simply because no one has volunteered to do continued maintenance, so if software is listed here that you need, you can contact <[70]xorg@lists.freedesktop.org> to volunteer to take over maintainership, either inside or outside of the Xorg release process. Xprint The Xprint server and extension have been removed in this release. Xprint support in a number of client programs has also been removed. Unmaintained extensions Support has been removed from the X servers for the following extensions, which were obsolete, not widely used, or not working: * AppGroup * EVI * MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD * TOG-CUP * XTrap * XFree86-Misc * XEvIE Xorg configuration utilities The xorgcfg GUI and xorgconfig CLI utilities have been removed in this release. See the [71]Configuration File section for alternative methods of Xorg configuration. ioport The ioport utility and its aliases (inb, inw, inl, outb, outw, and outl) for manipulating I/O space addresses directly have been removed in this release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attributions/Acknowledgements/Credits [72]Note THIS IS A DRAFT OF THE X11R7.5 CREDITS SECTION.   If you find missing credits, incorrect attributions, or other errors, please send details to <[73]xorg@lists.freedesktop.org>.
