In addition, some miscellaneous server support functions (not -OS-dependent) are included here, to take advantage of the fact that this -library comes last in the linking order. - -Most of the functionality required to support a new OS is encapsulated in -this library. It is hoped that all OS-specific details can be encapsulated, -but that is not likely ever to be completely possible. Hence some minor -changes will wind up being made in other parts of the server. The major -design principles for this library are maintainability, readability, and -portability. Sometimes these goals conflict; some somewhat arbitrary choices -have been made in implementation. - -2 - Directory Layout --------------------- - os-support/ Contains headers and documentation; no code - misc/ Non-OS-specific miscellaneous functions that - fit best into the link architecture this way. - shared/ Contains files with functions used by more than one - OS. These are symlinked into the OS subdirectories - at build time via Imakefile rules. This is alway - preferable to reproducing functions in more than one - OS library. - bsd/ OS support for the 386BSD/NetBSD/FreeBSD operating - systems. - bsdi/ OS support for the BSD/386 operating system. - linux/ OS support for the Linux operating system. - os2/ OS support for OS/2 2.11 and OS/2 Warp - sco/ OS support for the SCO SVR3.x operating system. - solx86/ OS support for the Solaris x86 operating system. - sysv/ OS support for all SVR4.0 and SVR4.2, and for - ISC and AT&T SVR3.2 operating systems. - -3 - Adding A New OS -------------------- - Adding a support for a new operating system entails implementing all of -the functions described in the API below. Many of these functions are no-ops -for many operating systems, and appropriate files with dummy declarations are -available in the 'shared' subdirectory. - -If your OS is sufficiently similar to an existing OS, you can make use of -the existing subdirectory. One of the reasons for implementing this OS -library was the unmaintainability of the spagetti-#ifdef code that existed -before. You should try to avoid cluttering the code with #ifdef's. If -you find that the subdirectory is getting cluttered, split off into a -seperate subdirectory (e.g. as was done for SCO, rather than cluttering -the 'sysv' subdirectory). You can split functions out of an existing -subdirectory into the 'shared' subdirectory, if that is appropriate. Just -remember to update the Imakefile for the old subdirectory. - -You will still likely have to make some small changes to other parts of -the server. You should not put OS-specific #define's or #include's anywhere -else in the server. These should all go in the "xf86_OSlib.h" header file -in this directory. - -4 - OS Support API ------------------ -void xf86OpenConsole(void) -{ - /* - * Open console device, activate VTs, etc, etc. Fill in requisite - * pieces of xf86Info.
