<title>devPrivates</title>
<para>
devPrivates provides a way to attach arbitrary private data to various server structures.
Any structure which contains a <structfield>devPrivates</structfield> field of
-type <type>PrivateRec</type> supports this mechanism. Private data can be allocated at
-any time during an object's life cycle and callbacks are available to initialize and clean
-up allocated space.</para>
+type <type>PrivateRec</type> supports this mechanism. Some structures allow
+allocating space for private data after some objects have been created, others
+require all space allocations be registered before any objects of that type
+are created. <filename class="headerfile">Xserver/include/privates.h</filename>
+lists which of these cases applies to each structure containing
+<structfield>devPrivates</structfield>.</para>
+
+<para>
+To request private space, use
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ Bool dixRegisterPrivateKey(DevPrivateKey key, DevPrivateType type, unsigned size);
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+The first argument is a pointer to a <type>DevPrivateKeyRec</type> which
+will serve as the unique identifier for the private data. Typically this is
+the address of a static <type>DevPrivateKeyRec</type> in your code.
+The second argument is the class of objects for which this key will apply.
+The third argument is the size of the space being requested, or
+<constant>0</constant> to only allocate a pointer that the caller will manage.
+If space is requested, this space will be automatically freed when the object
+is destroyed. Note that a call to <function>dixSetPrivate</function>
+that changes the pointer value may cause the space to be unreachable by the caller, however it will still be automatically freed.
+The function returns <literal>TRUE</literal> unless memory allocation fails.
+If the function is called more than once on the same key, all calls must use
+the same value for <type>size</type> or the server will abort.</para>

+the same as those to <function>dixRegisterPrivateKey</function> but this
+function allocates a <type>DevPrivateKeyRec</type> and returns a pointer to it
+instead of requiring the caller to pass a pointer to an existing structure.
+The server will free it automatically when the privates system is restarted
+at server reset time.</para>

-of some global variable in your code. Only one piece of data with a given key can be attached to an object. However, you
-can use the same key to store data in any object that supports the devPrivates mechanism. The third
