+ Release Notes for X11R6.9 and X11R7.0
+
+ The X.Org Foundation
+ The XFree86 Project, Inc.
+
+ 21 December 2005
+
+ Abstract
+
+ These release notes contains information about features and their
+ status in the X.Org Foundation X11R6.9/X11R7.0 release. It is
+ based on the XFree86 4.4RC2 RELNOTES document published by The
+ XFree86[tm] Project, Inc. There are significant updates and dif-
+ ferences in the X.Org release as noted below.
+
+1. Introduction to the X11R6.9/X11R7.0 Release
+
+This release constitutes the first major version release of the X Window Sys-
+tem in over a decade. The main reasons for the major version bump from 6 to
+7 is that we have moved from what has traditionally been a source codebase
+comprised of many different components brought together into a single mono-
+lithic tree to a source codebase where each of those same components found in
+the monolithic tree are now split into logical modules that can be developed,
+built and maintained separately, but still fit together coherently into the
+larger project. At the same time, we have moved away from the imake build
+system to an autotools build system. By making these changes we have opened
+the source code up to a new generation of developers that can continue to
+build upon the long tradition of the X Window System.
+
+The reason for having simultaneous releases for both the monolithic and modu-
+lar trees is to allow for a transition period as developers, builders and
+vendors incorporate the significant changes to how the tree is built and
+developed into their products and to allow time for additional platforms to
+be supported the modular tree. This initial modular release has support for
+Linux and Solaris. During the transition period, we expect both the mono-
+lithic and modular trees to coexist. For the monolithic tree, we expect that
+there will be maintenance releases in the X11R6.8.x and X11R6.9.x series as
+needed. However, the main development effort will move over to the new modu-
+lar tree.
+
+The X11R7.0 release is the first in the modular series. One of the advan-
+tages of the modular tree is that it allows for more rapid and independent
+updates of module components, so full maintenance releases will no longer be
+required for simple bug fixes. Rather, each module component maintainer can
+prepare new releases as needed. These module component releases will then be
+periodically "rolled up" into official X.Org Foundation releases. The next
+official release will be X11R7.1 and is expected in mid 2006.
+
+For more information on the modularization effort see the Modularization Pro-
+posal <URL:http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularizationProposal>, and for help with
+how to build and develop in the new modular tree see Modular Developer's
+Guide <URL:http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide>.
+
+We encourage you to submit bug fixes and enhancements to freedesktop.org's
+bug tracking system <URL:https://bugs.freedesktop.org/> using the xorg prod-
+uct, and to discuss them on <xorg@lists.freedesktop.org>.
+
+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 17
+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 ver-
+sion 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,
+before the founding of the X.Org Foundation in early 2004.
+
+The next section describes what is new in the latest version (6.9/7.0) com-
+pared with the previous full release (6.8). The other sections below
+describe some of the new features and changes between 3.3.x and 4.0. There
+are lots of new features, and we definitely don't have enough space to cover
+them all here.
+
+2. Summary of new features in X11R6.9 and X11R7.0
+
+This is a sampling of the new features in X11R6.9/X11R7.0. A more complete
+list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog file that is part of the X
+source tree.
+
+ o EXA support included
+
+ EXA is a new accleration architecture to replace XAA, the current archi-
+ tecture. It is largely based upon KAA in KDrive, and is far more effi-
+ cient at accelerating typical workloads on modern hardware, particularly
+ involving the RENDER extension.
+
+ o FreeType was updated to version 2.1.9. But installing FreeType from X
+ distributions would often or usually result in the replacement or use of
+ "stale" versions of FreeType. On Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris 10, and SCO5,
+ therefore, X11R6.9 will by default use the version of FreeType2 that is
+ installed on the system. If your system doesn't come with an installed
+ FreeType2 and you wish to use the version supplied with this distribu-
+ tion, please add:
+
+ #define HasFreetype2 NO
+
+ to config/cf/host.def.
+
+ o Updated Mesa and DRI from upstream sources
+
+ o More OpenGL extensions
+
+ o Support for Radeon r3xx/r4xx and PCI-Express chips
+
+ o Support for mixed 32-bit and 64-bit clients on 64-bit machines.

+
+ o Switched to libdl-based module loader
+
+ o MMX blending routines for the Render extension
+
+ o Initial support for running the Xorg server without root privileges

+ Solaris systems
+
+ o Multiseat support
+
+ o xload made compatible with 64-bit kernels on Solaris
+
+ o Bundled Mesa upgraded to 6.4.1
+
+ o CAN-2005-2495 security fixes
+
+ o Shared libraries now built for libXau and libXdmcp
+
+ o GNU/kFreeBSD support
+
+2.1 Updated keyboard mappings
+
+The requirement for XKB data can, in the modular tree, be satisfied either by
+the traditional data set (the 'xkbdata' module), or by the dataset from the
+xkeyboard-config project (the 'xkbdesc' module). xkbdesc has numerous
+improvements relative to xkbdata: layouts have been cleaned up for consis-
+tency and universal multi-layout support, some new layouts have added, and
+some layouts have changed names to be more straightforward and ISO compliant.
+Some setups will need adjustments in order to use xkbdesc.
+
+2.2 New loader mechanism
+
+The loader now uses the standard libdl-based loader, instead of implementing
+its own ELF loading and parsing mechanism. This extends loadable server sup-
+port to many platforms where it was not previously possible, such as MIPS,
+Motorola 68000, HP PA/RISC, et al. The core loader itself has also been sig-
+nificantly optimised.
+

+
+4. Overview of X11R6.9 and X11R7.0
+
+On most platforms, X11R6.9/X11R7.0 has a single X server binary called Xorg.
+This binary can either have one or more video and input drivers linked in
+statically, or more usually, dynamically, and in that manner load the video
+drivers, input drivers, and other modules that are needed.
+
+X11R6.9 has X server support for most UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems
+on Intel/x86 platforms, plus support for Linux and some BSD OSs on Alpha,
+PowerPC, IA-64, AMD64, Sparc, and Mips platforms, and for Darwin on PowerPC.
+X11R7.0 has X server currently has support for Linux and Solaris, and is
+expected to have other platform support in X11R7.1.
+
+4.1 Loader and Modules
+
+The X server has a built-in run-time loader, which can load normal object
+files and libraries in most of the commonly used formats. The loader does
+not rely on an operating system's native dynamic loader support and it works
+on platforms that do not provide this feature. This allows for the modules
+to be operating system independent (although not, of course, CPU architecture
+independent) which means that a module compiled on Linux/x86 can be loaded by
+an X server running on Solaris/x86, or FreeBSD, or even OS/2.
+
+A main benefit of this, is that when modules are updated, they do not need to
+be recompiled for every different operating system. The loader in version
+6.9/7.0 has support for Intel (x86), Alpha and PowerPC platforms. It also
+has preliminary support for Sparc platforms.
+
+The X server makes use of modules for video drivers, X server extensions,
+font rasterisers, input device drivers, framebuffer layers (like mfb, cfb,
+etc), 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 compatibil-
+ity for the module interfaces as of the 4.0 release (meaning that 4.0 modules
+will work with future core X server binaries), we cannot guarantee this.
+Compatibility in the other direction is explicitly not guaranteed because new
+modules may rely on interfaces added in new releases.
+
+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 recom-
+ mend that all users be careful to only use loadable modules from
+ reliable sources, otherwise the introduction of viruses and con-
+ taminated code can occur and wreak havoc on your system. We hope
+ to have a mechanism for signing/verifying the modules that we pro-
+ vide available in a future release.
+
+4.2 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 xorg.conf(5) manual page.
+
+This release comes with a graphical configuration tool called "xorgcfg",
+which also has a text mode interface and can be used to create an initial
+configuration file. It can also be used to customise existing configurations.
+
+Next in the order of configuration preferences is to use the Xorg server's
+ability to create a starting configuration file. Run as root:
+
+ Xorg -configure
+
+ and follow the instructions.
+
+Finally, if all else fails, the trusty old standby text-based tool "xorgcon-
+fig" can also be used for generating X server config files.
+
+At least one, and hopefully, all of these configuration options will give you
+a reasonable starting point for a suitable configuration file. With the
+automatic mechanism you might even find that you don't need one!
+
+If you do need to customize the configuration file, see the xorg.conf manual
+page. You can also check the driver-specific manual pages and the related
+documentation (found at tables below (section , page ) also.
+
+4.3 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 Xorg(1) manual page.
+
+4.4 XAA
+
+The XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) was completely rewritten from
+scratch for XFree86 4.x and is used in X11R6.9/X11R7.0. Most drivers imple-
+ment acceleration by making use of the XAA module. The Xorg server will
+accept modules built either for XFree86 4.4 servers or its own.
+
+4.5 Multi-head
+
+Some multi-head configurations are supported in X11R6.9/X11R7.0, primarily
+with multiple PCI/AGP cards.
+
+One of the main problems is with drivers not sufficiently initialising cards
+that were not initialised 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).
+
+4.6 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 can-
+not span or cross physical screens. Xinerama removes this limitation. Xin-
+erama 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.
+
+Xinerama was included with X11R6.4. The version included in X11R6.9/X11R7.0
+was completely rewritten for improved performance and correctness.
+
+Known problems:
+
+ o 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.
+
+4.7 DGA version 2
+
+DGA 2.0 is included in 6.9/7.0. Documentation for the client libraries can
+be found in the XDGA(3) man page. A good degree of backwards compatibility
+with version 1.0 is provided.
+
+4.8 DDC
+
+The VESA Display Data Channel (DDC[tm]) standard allows the monitor to tell
+the video card (or on some cases the computer directly) about itself; partic-
+ularly 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 dis-
+abled 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.
+
+4.8.1 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.
+
+4.9 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 DRI Project's web site <URL:http://dri.sf.net/>. The 3D core
+rendering component is provided by Mesa <URL:http://www.mesa3d.org>.
+
+4.10 XVideo Extension (Xv)
+
+The XVideo extension is supported in X11R6.7.x. An XvQueryPortAttributes
+function has been added as well as support for XvImages. XvImages are XIm-
+ages in alternate color spaces such as YUV and can be passed to the server
+through shared memory segments. This allows clients to display YUV data with
+high quality hardware scaling and filtering.
+
+4.11 X Rendering Extension (Render)
+
+The X Rendering extension provides a 2D rendering model that more closely
+matches application demands and hardware capabilities. It provides a render-
+ing model derived from Plan 9 based on Porter/Duff image composition rather
+than binary raster operations.
+
+Using simple compositing operators provided by most hardware, Render can draw
+anti-aliased text and geometric objects as well as perform translucent image
+overlays and other image operations not possible with the core X rendering
+system.
+
+Unlike the core protocol, Render provides no font support for applications,
+rather it allows applications to upload glyphs for display on the screen.
+This allows the client greater control over text rendering and complete
+access to the available font information while still providing hardware
+acceleration. The Xft library provides font access for Render applications.
+
+4.11.1 The Xft Library
+
+On the client side, the Xft library provides access to fonts for applications
+using the FreeType library, version 2. One important thing to note is that
+Xft uses the vertical size of the monitor to compute accurate pixel sizes for
+provided point sizes; if your monitor doesn't provide accurate information
+via DDC, you may want to add that information to xorg.conf.
+
+To allow a graceful transition for applications moving from core text render-
+ing to the Render extension, Xft can use either the core rendering requests
+or the Render extension for text. See the section on FreeType support in Xft
+for instructions on configuring X11R6.9/X11R7.0 to use an existing FreeType
+installation.
+
+The Xft library uses configuration files, /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and
+/etc/fonts/local.conf, which contains information about which directories
+contain font files and also provides a sophisticated font aliasing mechanism.
+Documentation for that file is included in the Xft(3) man page.
+
+4.11.2 Application Support For Anti-Aliased Text
+
+Only four applications have been modified in X11R6.9/X11R7.0 to work with the
+Render extension and the Xft and FreeType libraries to provide anti-aliased
+text: xterm, xditview, x11perf and xclock. Migration of other applications
+may occur in future releases.
+
+By default, xterm uses core fonts through the standard core API. It has a
+command line option and associated resource to direct it to use Xft instead:
+
+ o -fa family / .VT100.faceName: family. Selects the font family to use.
+
+Xditview will use Xft instead of the core API by default. X11perf includes
+tests to measure the performance of text rendered in three ways, anti-
+aliased, anti-aliased with sub-pixel sampling and regular chunky text, but
+through the Render extension, a path which is currently somewhat slower than
+core text.
+
+Xclock uses the Render extension to draw the analog face and shares the -fa
+option and faceName resources with xterm to select a font for the digital
+mode.
+
+4.12 Other extensions
+
+The XFree86-Misc extension has not been fully ported to the new server archi-
+tecture yet. This should be completed in a future release.
+
+The XFree86-VidModeExtension extension has been updated, and mostly ported to
+the new server architecture. The area of mode validation needs further work,
+and the extension should be used with care. This extension has support for
+changing the gamma setting at run-time, for modes where this is possible.
+The xgamma utility makes use of this feature. Compatibility with the 3.3.x
+version of the extension is provided. The missing parts of this extension
+and some new features should be completed in a future release.
+
+4.13 xedit
+
+Xedit has several new features, including:
+
+ o An embedded lisp interpreter that allows easier extension of the editor.
+
+ o Several new syntax highlight modes, and indentation rules for C and
+ Lisp.
+
+ o Flexible search/replace interface that allows regex matches.
+
+ o Please refer to xedit(1) for more details.
+
+ o XPrint support.
+
+4.14 Font support
+
+Details about the font support in X11R6.9.x/X11R7.0.x can be found in the
+README.fonts document.
+
+4.15 TrueType support
+
+X11R6.7 came with two TrueType backends. The functionality from the `X-True-
+Type' backend has been integrated into the `FreeType' backend which is
+designed to transparently support all of the functionality from the `X-True-
+Type' backend with the exception of the font encoding libraries; the
+`FreeType' backend uses only the fontenc-based encoding system .
+
+4.16 CID font support
+
+Support for CID-keyed fonts is included in X11R6.9/X11R7.0 The CID-keyed font
+format was designed by Adobe Systems <URL:http://www.adobe.com> for fonts
+with large character sets. The CID-keyed font support in X11R6.9/X11R7.0 was
+donated by SGI <URL:http://www.sgi.com>. See the LICENSE document for a copy
+of the CID Font Code Public License.
+
+4.17 Internationalisation of the scalable font backends
+
+X11R6.9/X11R7.0 has a ``fontenc'' layer to allow the scalable font backends
+to use a common method of font re-encoding. This re-encoding makes it possi-
+ble to uses fonts in encodings other than their their native encoding. This
+layer is used by the Type1 and FreeType backends.
+
+4.18 Large font optimisation
+
+The glyph metrics array, which all the X clients using a particular font have
+access to, is placed in shared memory, so as to reduce redundant memory con-
+sumption. For non-local clients, the glyph metrics array is transmitted in a
+compressed format.
+
+4.19 Unicode/ISO 10646 support
+
+What is included in X11R6.9/X11R7.0
+
+ o All ``-misc-fixed-*'' BDF fonts are now available in the ISO10646-1
+ encoding and cover at least the 614 characters found in ISO
+ 8859-{1-5,7-10,14,15}, CP1252, and MES-1. The non-bold fonts also cover
+ all Windows Glyph List 4 (WGL4) characters, including those found in all
+ 8-bit MS-DOS/Windows code pages. The 8-bit variants of the ``-misc-
+ fixed-*'' BDF fonts (ISO8859-1, ISO8859-2, KOI8-R, etc.) have all been
+ automatically generated from the new ISO10646-1 master fonts.
+
+ o Some ``-misc-fixed-*'' BDF ISO10646-1 fonts now cover a comprehensive
+ Unicode repertoire of over 3000 characters including all Latin, Greek,
+ Cyrillic, Armenian, Gregorian, Hebrew, IPA, and APL characters, plus
+ numerous scientific, typographic, technical, and backwards-compatibility
+ symbols. Some of these fonts also cover Arabic, Ethiopian, Thai,
+ Han/Kanji, Hangul, full ISO 8859, and more. For the 6x13 font there is
+ now a 12x13ja Kanji extension and for the 9x18 font there is a 18x18ja
+ Kanji/Han/Hangul extension, which covers all ISO-2022-JP-2 (RFC 1554)
+ characters. The 9x18 font can also be used to implement simple combining
+ characters by accent overstriking. For more information, read Markus
+ Kuhn's UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ <URL:http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/uni-
+ code.html>.
+
+ o Mark Leisher's ClearlyU proportional font (similar to Computer Modern).
+
+ o ISO 10646/Unicode UTF-8 Level 1 support added to xterm (enabled with the
+ -u8 option).
+
+ o The Freetype backend (the "freetype" module) supports Unicode-encoded
+ fonts.
+
+4.20 Xlib Compose file support and extensions
+
+A more flexible Compose file processing system was added to Xlib in
+X11R6.9/X11R7.0. 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 "<xlocaledir>/<locale-
+ name>/Compose".
+
+Compose files can now use an "include" instruction. This allows local modi-
+fications 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., "<xlocaledir>/<localename>/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 omit-
+ted, Xlib figures it out from the keysym according to the current locale.
+I.e., if a rule looks like:
+
+ <dead_grave> <A> : "\300" Agrave
+
+the result of the composition is always the letter with the "\300" code. But
+if the rule is:
+
+ <dead_grave> <A> : Agrave
+
+the result depends on how Agrave is mapped in the current locale.
+
+4.21 Bitstream Vera fonts
+
+X11R6.9 includes the Bitstream Vera family of typefaces in TrueType format.
+This family includes the ``Bitstream Vera Sans'', ``Bitstream Vera Sans
+Mono'' and ``Bitstream Vera Serif'' in Roman and Bold varients as well as the
+``Bitstream Vera Sans'' and ``Bitstream Vera Sans Mono'' in Oblique and Bold
+Oblique. These fonts include all of the glyphs needed for ISO 8859 parts 1
+9 and 15.
+
+The license terms for the Vera fonts are inclued in the file COPYRIGHT.Vera>.
+
+4.22 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 True-
+Type 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 cov-
+ers 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 for-
+mat fonts to TrueType and Type 1 font programs and implemented the grid-fit-
+ting "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 License document. For further information, please contact
+<design@bigelowandholmes.com> or <info@urwpp.de>, or consult the URW++ web
+site <URL:http://www.urwpp.de>.
+
+5. Miscellaneous
+
+This section describes other items of note for the X11R6.9/X11R7.0 release.
+
+5.1 Legacy keyboard driver phase-out
+
+The legacy keyboard driver is no longer compiled into the X server by default
+on certain platforms (including Linux). The newer kbd driver replaces the
+older built-in driver. It is suggested that, if the X server says that it
+cannot load the keyboard driver, then the xorg.conf file should be updated to
+use the new kbd driver, which can be done by changing the Driver line in the
+InputDevice section. For example,
+
+ Section "InputDevice"
+ Identifier "Keyboard0"
+ Driver "kbd"
+ EndSection
+
+Note that the driver name is case-sensitive.
+
+5.2 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 directo-
+ries. 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.
+
+5.3 Composite exposes extra visuals
+
+When the Composite extension is enabled via xorg.conf or the command line, 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; how-
+ever 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.
+
+Since Composite is not enabled by default, it is not expected that this issue
+will be visible to most users.
+
+6. Deprecated components and removal plans
+
+This section lists current plans for removal of obsolete or deprecated compo-
+nents in the X.Org releases. As our releases are open source, users who con-
+tinue 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 <xorg@lists.freedesktop.org> to volunteer
+to take over maintainership, either inside or outside of the Xorg release
+process.
+
+ Display Postscript (DPS)
+ The DPS software is included and built by default (except as
+ noted in README.dps) in the X.Org X11R6.8 release series. The
+ software will be included, but not built unless specifically con-
+ figured by the builder, in the X.Org X11R6.9 release series. At
+ this time, X.Org does not plan to include any of the DPS software
+ in X11R7.0 or later releases. For more information, see xc/pro-
+ grams/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/README.dps in the X.Org source
+ release.
+
+7. Attributions/Acknowledgements/Credits
