This - is mandatory. - <tag>BusID "busslot"</tag> - Specifies uniquely the location of the card on the bus. The - purpose is to identify particular cards in a multi-headed - configuration. The format of the argument is intentionally - vague, and may be architecture dependent. For a PCI bus, it - is something like "bus:slot:func". - </descrip> - - A &k.device; section is considered ``active'' if there is a reference - to it in an active &k.screen; section. - -<sect1>&k.screen; section -<p> - - The &k.screen; sections are similar to what they used to be. They - no longer have a &k.driver; keyword, but an &k.identifier; keyword - is added. (The &k.driver; keyword may be accepted in place of the - &k.identifier; keyword for compatibility purposes.) The identifier - can be used to identify which screen is to be active when multiple - &k.screen sections are present. It is possible to specify the active - screen from the command line. A default is chosen in the absence - of one being specified. A &k.screen; section is considered ``active'' - if there is a reference to it either from the command line, or from - an active &k.serverlayout; section. - -<sect1>&k.inputdevice; section -<p> - - The &k.inputdevice; section is a new section that describes - configuration information for input devices. It replaces the old - &s.key;Keyboard&e.key;, &s.key;Pointer&e.key; and &s.key;XInput&e.key; - sections. Like the &k.device; section, it has two mandatory keywords: - &k.identifier; and &k.driver;. For compatibility purposes the old - &s.key;Keyboard&e.key; and &s.key;Pointer&e.key; sections are - converted by the parser into &k.inputdevice; sections as follows: - - <descrip> - <tag>&s.key;Keyboard&e.key;</tag> - &k.identifier; "Implicit Core Keyboard"<newline> - &k.driver; "keyboard" - <tag>&s.key;Pointer&e.key;</tag> - &k.identifier; "Implicit Core Pointer"<newline> - &k.driver; "mouse" - </descrip> - - An &k.inputdevice; section is considered active if there is a - reference to it in an active &k.serverlayout; section. An - &k.inputdevice; section may also be referenced implicitly if there - is no &k.serverlayout; section, if the &s.cmd;-screen&e.cmd; command - line options is used, or if the &k.serverlayout; section doesn't - reference any &k.inputdevice; sections. In this case, the first - sections with drivers "keyboard" and "mouse" are used as the core - keyboard and pointer respectively. - -<sect1>&k.serverlayout; section -<p> - - The &k.serverlayout; section is a new section that is used to identify - which &k.screen; sections are to be used in a multi-headed configuration, - and the relative layout of those screens. It also identifies which - &k.inputdevice; sections are to be used. Each &k.serverlayout section - has an identifier, a list of &k.screen; section identifiers, and a list of - &k.inputdevice; section identifiers. &k.serverflags; options may also be - included in a &k.serverlayout; section, making it possible to override - the global values in the &k.serverflags; section. - - A &k.serverlayout; section can be made active by being referenced on - the command line. In the absence of this, a default will be chosen - (the first one found). The screen names may optionally be followed - by a number specifying the preferred screen number, and optionally - by information specifying the physical positioning of the screen, - either in absolute terms or relative to another screen (or screens). - When no screen number is specified, they are numbered according to - the order in which they are listed. The old (now obsolete) method - of providing the positioning information is to give the names of - the four adjacent screens. The order of these is top, bottom, left, - right. Here is an example of a &k.serverlayout; section for two - screens using the old method, with the second located to the right - of the first: - - <code> - Section "ServerLayout" - Identifier "Main Layout" - Screen 0 "Screen 1" "" "" "" "Screen 2" - Screen 1 "Screen 2" - Screen "Screen 3" - EndSection - </code> - - The preferred way of specifying the layout is to explicitly specify - the screen's location in absolute terms or relative to another - screen. - - In the absolute case, the upper left corner's coordinates are given - after the &s.key;Absolute&e.key; keyword. If the coordinates are - omitted, a value of &s.code;(0,0)&e.code; is assumed. An example - of absolute positioning follows: - - <code> - Section "ServerLayout" - Identifier "Main Layout" - Screen 0 "Screen 1" Absolute 0 0 - Screen 1 "Screen 2" Absolute 1024 0 - Screen "Screen 3" Absolute 2048 0 - EndSection - </code> - - In the relative case, the position is specified by either using one of - the following keywords followed by the name of the reference screen: - - <quote> - &s.key;RightOf&nl; - LeftOf&nl; - Above&nl; - Below&nl; - Relative&e.key; - </quote> - - When the &s.key;Relative&e.key; keyword is used, the reference screen - name is followed by the coordinates of the new screen's origin - relative to reference screen. The following example shows how to use - some of the relative positioning options. - - <code> - Section "ServerLayout" - Identifier "Main Layout" - Screen 0 "Screen 1" - Screen 1 "Screen 2" RightOf "Screen 1" - Screen "Screen 3" Relative "Screen 1" 2048 0 - EndSection - </code> - -<sect1>Options -<p> - - Options are used more extensively. They may appear in most sections - now. Options related to drivers can be present in the &k.screen;, - &k.device; and &k.monitor; sections and the &k.display; subsections. - The order of precedence is &k.display;, &k.screen;, &k.monitor;, - &k.device;. Options have been extended to allow an optional value - to be specified in addition to the option name. For more details - about options, see the <ref id="options" name="Options"> section - for details. - -<sect>Driver Interface -<p> - -The driver interface consists of a minimal set of entry points that are -required based on the external events that the driver must react to. -No non-essential structure is imposed on the way they are used beyond -that. This is a significant difference compared with the old design. - -The entry points for drawing operations are already taken care of by -the framebuffer code (including, XAA). Extensions and enhancements to -framebuffer code are outside the scope of this document. - -This approach to the driver interface provides good flexibility, but does -increase the complexity of drivers. To help address this, the XFree86 -common layer provides a set of ``helper'' functions to take care of things -that most drivers need. These helpers help minimise the amount of code -duplication between drivers. The use of helper functions by drivers is -however optional, though encouraged. The basic philosophy behind the -helper functions is that they should be useful to many drivers, that -they should balance this against the complexity of their interface. It -is inevitable that some drivers may find some helpers unsuitable and -need to provide their own code. - -Events that a driver needs to react to are: - - <descrip> - <tag>ScreenInit</tag> - - An initialisation function is called from the DIX layer for each - screen at the start of each server generation. - - <tag>Enter VT</tag> - - The server takes control of the console. - - <tag>Leave VT</tag> - - The server releases control of the console. - - <tag>Mode Switch</tag> - - Change video mode. - - <tag>ViewPort change</tag> - - Change the origin of the physical view port. - - <tag>ScreenSaver state change</tag> - - Screen saver activation/deactivation. - - <tag>CloseScreen</tag> - - A close screen function is called from the DIX layer for each screen - at the end of each server generation. - </descrip> - - -In addition to these events, the following functions are required by -the XFree86 common layer: - - <descrip> - <tag>Identify</tag> - - Print a driver identifying message. - - <tag>Probe</tag> - - This is how a driver identifies if there is any hardware present that - it knows how to drive. - - <tag>PreInit</tag> - - Process information from the xorg.conf file, determine the - full characteristics of the hardware, and determine if a valid - configuration is present. - </descrip> - -The VidMode extension also requires: - - <descrip> - <tag>ValidMode</tag> - - Identify if a new mode is usable with the current configuration. - The PreInit function (and/or helpers it calls) may also make use - of the ValidMode function or something similar. - </descrip> - - -Other extensions may require other entry points. The drivers will -inform the common layer of these in such cases. - -<sect>Resource Access Control Introduction -<p> - -Graphics devices are accessed through ranges in I/O or memory space. -While most modern graphics devices allow relocation of such ranges many -of them still require the use of well established interfaces such as -VGA memory and IO ranges or 8514/A IO ranges. With modern buses (like -PCI) it is possible for multiple video devices to share access to these -resources. The RAC (Resource Access Control) subsystem provides a -mechanism for this. - -<sect1>Terms and Definitions -<p> - -<sect2>Bus -<p> - - ``Bus'' is ambiguous as it is used for different things: it may refer - to physical incompatible extension connectors in a computer system. - The RAC system knows two such systems: The ISA bus and the PCI bus. - (On the software level EISA, MCA and VL buses are currently treated - like ISA buses). ``Bus'' may also refer to logically different - entities on a single bus system which are connected via bridges. A - PCI system may have several distinct PCI buses connecting each other - by PCI-PCI bridges or to the host CPU by HOST-PCI bridges. - - Systems that host more than one bus system link these together using - bridges. Bridges are a concern to RAC as they might block or pass - specific resources. PCI-PCI bridges may be set up to pass VGA - resources to the secondary bus. PCI-ISA buses pass any resources not - decoded on the primary PCI bus to the ISA bus. This way VGA resources - (although exclusive on the ISA bus) can be shared by ISA and PCI - cards. Currently HOST-PCI bridges are not yet handled by RAC as they - require specific drivers. - -<sect2>Entity -<p> - - The smallest independently addressable unit on a system bus is - referred to as an entity. So far we know ISA and PCI entities. PCI - entities can be located on the PCI bus by an unique ID consisting of - the bus, card and function number. - -<sect2>Resource -<p> - - ``Resource'' refers to a range of memory or I/O addresses an entity - can decode. - - If a device is capable of disabling this decoding the resource is - called sharable. For PCI devices a generic method is provided to - control resource decoding. Other devices will have to provide a - device specific function to control decoding. - - If the entity is capable of decoding this range at a different - location this resource is considered relocatable. - - Resources which start at a specific address and occupy a single - continuous range are called block resources. - - Alternatively resource addresses can be decoded in a way that they - satisfy the conditions: - <quote><verb> - address & mask == base - </verb></quote> - and - <quote><verb> - base & mask == base - </verb></quote> - Resources addressed in such a way are called sparse resources. - -<sect2>Server States -<p> - - The resource access control system knows two server states: the - SETUP and the OPERATING state. The SETUP state is entered whenever - a mode change takes place or the server exits or does VT switching. - During this state all entity resources are under resource access - control. During OPERATING state only those entities are controlled - which actually have shared resources that conflict with others. - -<sect>Control Flow in the Server and Mandatory Driver Functions -<p> - -At the start of each server generation, &s.code;main()&e.code; -(&s.code;dix/main.c&e.code;) calls the DDX function -&s.code;InitOutput()&e.code;. This is the first place that the DDX gets -control. &s.code;InitOutput()&e.code; is expected to fill in the global -&s.code;screenInfo&e.code; struct, and one -&s.code;screenInfo.screen[]&e.code; entry for each screen present. Here -is what &s.code;InitOutput()&e.code; does: - -<sect1>Parse the xorg.conf file -<p> - - This is done at the start of the first server generation only. - - The xorg.conf file is read in full, and the resulting information - stored in data structures. None of the parsed information is - processed at this point. The parser data structures are opaque to - the video drivers and to most of the common layer code. - - The entire file is parsed first to remove any section ordering - requirements. - - -<sect1>Initial processing of parsed information and command line options -<p> - - This is done at the start of the first server generation only. - - The initial processing is to determine paths like the - &s.key;ModulePath&e.key;, etc, and to determine which &k.serverlayout;, - &k.screen; and &k.device; sections are active. - - -<sect1>Enable port I/O access -<p> - - Port I/O access is controlled from the XFree86 common layer, and is - ``all or nothing''. It is enabled prior to calling driver probes, at - the start of subsequent server generations, and when VT switching - back to the Xserver. It is disabled at the end of server generations, - and when VT switching away from the Xserver. - - The implementation details of this may vary on different platforms. - - -<sect1>General bus probe -<p> - - This is done at the start of the first server generation only. - - In the case of ix86 machines, this will be a general PCI probe. - The full information obtained here will be available to the drivers. - This information persists for the life of the Xserver. In the PCI - case, the PCI information for all video cards found is available by - calling &s.code;xf86GetPciVideoInfo()&e.code;. - - <quote> - &s.code;pciVideoPtr *xf86GetPciVideoInfo(void)&e.code; - <quote><p> - returns a pointer to a list of pointers to - &s.code;pciVideoRec&e.code; entries, of which there is one for - each detected PCI video card. The list is terminated with a - &s.code;NULL&e.code; pointer. If no PCI video cards were - detected, the return value is &s.code;NULL&e.code;. - - </quote> - </quote> - - After the bus probe, the resource broker is initialised. - - -<sect1>Load initial set of modules -<p> - - This is done at the start of the first server generation only. - - The core server contains a list of mandatory modules. These are loaded - first. Currently the only module on this list is the bitmap font module. - - The next set of modules loaded are those specified explicitly in the - &k.module; section of the config file. - - The final set of initial modules are the driver modules referenced - by the active &k.device; and &k.inputdevice; sections in the config - file. Each of these modules is loaded exactly once. - - -<sect1>Register Video and Input Drivers -<p> - - This is done at the start of the first server generation only. - - When a driver module is loaded, the loader calls its - &s.code;Setup&e.code; function. For video drivers, this function - calls &s.code;xf86AddDriver()&e.code; to register the driver's - &s.code;DriverRec&e.code;, which contains a small set of essential - details and driver entry points required during the early phase of - &s.code;InitOutput()&e.code;. &s.code;xf86AddDriver()&e.code; adds - it to the global &s.code;xf86DriverList[]&e.code; array. - - The &s.code;DriverRec&e.code; contains the driver canonical name, - the &s.code;Identify()&e.code;, - &s.code;Probe()&e.code; and &s.code;AvailableOptions()&e.code; - function entry points as well as a pointer - to the driver's module (as returned from the loader when the driver - was loaded) and a reference count which keeps track of how many - screens are using the driver. The entry driver entry points are - those required prior to the driver allocating and filling in its - &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;. - - For a static server, the &s.code;xf86DriverList[]&e.code; array is - initialised at build time, and the loading of modules is not done. - - A similar procedure is used for input drivers. The input driver's - &s.code;Setup&e.code; function calls - &s.code;xf86AddInputDriver()&e.code; to register the driver's - &s.code;InputDriverRec&e.code;, which contains a small set of - essential details and driver entry points required during the early - phase of &s.code;InitInput()&e.code;. - &s.code;xf86AddInputDriver()&e.code; adds it to the global - &s.code;xf86InputDriverList[]&e.code; array. For a static server, - the &s.code;xf86InputDriverList[]&e.code; array is initialised at - build time. - - Both the &s.code;xf86DriverList[]&e.code; and - &s.code;xf86InputDriverList[]&e.code; arrays have been initialised - by the end of this stage. - - Once all the drivers are registered, their - &s.code;ChipIdentify()&e.code; functions are called. - - <quote> - &s.code;void ChipIdentify(int flags)&e.code; - <quote> - This is expected to print a message indicating the driver name, - a short summary of what it supports, and a list of the chipset - names that it supports. It may use the xf86PrintChipsets() helper - to do this. - </quote> - </quote> - - <quote> - &s.code;void xf86PrintChipsets(const char *drvname, const char *drvmsg, - &f.indent;SymTabPtr chips)&e.code; - <quote> - This function provides an easy way for a driver's ChipIdentify - function to format the identification message. - </quote> - </quote> - -<sect1>Initialise Access Control -<p> - - This is done at the start of the first server generation only. - - The Resource Access Control (RAC) subsystem is initialised before - calling any driver functions that may access hardware. All generic - bus information is probed and saved (for restoration later). All - (shared resource) video devices are disabled at the generic bus - level, and a probe is done to find the ``primary'' video device. These - devices remain disabled for the next step. - - -<sect1>Video Driver Probe<label id="probe"> -<p> - This is done at the start of the first server generation only. The - &s.code;ChipProbe()&e.code; function of each registered video driver - is called. - - <quote><p> - &s.code;Bool ChipProbe(DriverPtr drv, int flags)&e.code; - <quote><p> - The purpose of this is to identify all instances of hardware - supported by the driver. The flags value is currently either 0, - &s.code;PROBE_DEFAULT&e.code; or &s.code;PROBE_DETECT&e.code;. - &s.code;PROBE_DETECT&e.code; is used if "-configure" or "-probe" - command line arguments are given and indicates to the - &s.code;Probe()&e.code; function that it should not configure the - bus entities and that no xorg.conf information is available. - - The probe must find the active device sections that match the - driver by calling &s.code;xf86MatchDevice()&e.code;. The number - of matches found limits the maximum number of instances for this - driver. If no matches are found, the function should return - &s.code;FALSE&e.code; immediately. - - Devices that cannot be identified by using device-independent - methods should be probed at this stage (keeping in mind that access - to all resources that can be disabled in a device-independent way - are disabled during this phase). The probe must be a minimal - probe. It should just determine if there is a card present that - the driver can drive. It should use the least intrusive probe - methods possible. It must not do anything that is not essential, - like probing for other details such as the amount of memory - installed, etc. It is recommended that the - &s.code;xf86MatchPciInstances()&e.code; helper function be used - for identifying matching PCI devices, and similarly the - &s.code;xf86MatchIsaInstances()&e.code; for ISA (non-PCI) devices - (see the <ref id="rac" name="RAC"> section). These helpers also - checks and claims the appropriate entity. When not using the - helper, that should be done with &s.code;xf86CheckPciSlot()&e.code; - and &s.code;xf86ClaimPciSlot()&e.code; for PCI devices and - &s.code;xf86ClaimIsaSlot()&e.code; for ISA devices (see the - <ref id="rac" name="RAC"> section). - - The probe must register all non-relocatable resources at this - stage. If a resource conflict is found between exclusive resources - the driver will fail immediately. This is usually best done with - the &s.code;xf86ConfigPciEntity()&e.code; helper function - for PCI and &s.code;xf86ConfigIsaEntity()&e.code; for ISA - (see the <ref id="rac" name="RAC"> section). It is possible to - register some entity specific functions with those helpers. When - not using the helpers, the &s.code;xf86AddEntityToScreen()&e.code; - &s.code;xf86ClaimFixedResources()&e.code; and - &s.code;xf86SetEntityFuncs()&e.code; should be used instead (see - the <ref id="rac" name="RAC"> section). - - If a chipset is specified in an active device section which the - driver considers relevant (ie it has no driver specified, or the - driver specified matches the driver doing the probe), the Probe - must return &s.code;FALSE&e.code; if the chipset doesn't match - one supported by the driver. - - If there are no active device sections that the driver considers - relevant, it must return &s.code;FALSE&e.code;. - - Allocate a &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; for each active instance of the - hardware found, and fill in the basic information, including the - other driver entry points. This is best done with the - &s.code;xf86ConfigIsaEntity()&e.code; helper function for ISA - instances or &s.code;xf86ConfigPciEntity()&e.code; for PCI instances. - These functions allocate a &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; for active - entities.

Resources may be marked ``disabled'' or -``unused'' during OPERATING stage. Although these steps could also be -performed in &s.code;ScreenInit()&e.code;, this is not desirable. - -Following &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; phase the common level determines -if resource access control is needed. This is the case if more than -one screen is used. If necessary the RAC wrapper module is loaded. In -&s.code;ScreenInit()&e.code; the drivers can decide which operations -need to be placed under RAC. Available are the frame buffer operations, -the pointer operations and the colormap operations. Any operation that -requires resources which might be disabled during OPERATING state should -be set to use RAC. This can be specified separately for memory and IO -resources. - -When &s.code;ScreenInit()&e.code; phase is done the common level will -determine which shared resources are requested by more than one driver -and set the access functions accordingly. This is done following these -rules: - -<enum> -<item>The sharable resources registered by each entity are compared. If - a resource is registered by more than one entity the entity will be - marked to need to share this resources type (&s.code;IO&e.code; or - &s.code;MEM&e.code;). - -<item>A resource marked ``disabled'' during OPERATING state will be ignored - entirely. - -<item>A resource marked ``unused'' will only conflicts with an overlapping - resource of an other entity if the second is actually in use during - OPERATING state. - -<item>If an ``unused'' resource was found to conflict however the entity - does not use any other resource of this type the entire resource type - will be disabled for that entity. -</enum> - -The driver has the choice among different ways to control access to -certain resources: - -<enum> -<item>It can rely on the generic access functions. This is probably the - most common case. Here the driver only needs to register any resource - it is going to use. - -<item>It can replace the generic access functions by driver specific - ones. This will mostly be used in cases where no generic access - functions are available. In this case the driver has to make sure - these resources are disabled when entering the &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; - stage. Since the replacement functions are registered in - &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; the driver will have to enable these - resources itself if it needs to access them during this state. The - driver can specify if the replacement functions can control memory - and/or I/O resources separately. - -<item>The driver can enable resources itself when it needs them. Each - driver function enabling them needs to disable them before it will - return. This should be used if a resource which can be controlled - in a device dependent way is only required during SETUP state. This - way it can be marked ``unused'' during OPERATING state. -</enum> - -A resource which is decoded during OPERATING state however never accessed -by the driver should be marked unused. - -Since access switching latencies are an issue during Xserver operation, -the common level attempts to minimize the number of entities that need -to be placed under RAC control. When a wrapped operation is called, -the &s.code;EnableAccess()&e.code; function is called before control is -passed on. &s.code;EnableAccess()&e.code; checks if a screen is under -access control. If not it just establishes bus routing and returns. -If the screen needs to be under access control, -&s.code;EnableAccess()&e.code; determines which resource types -(&s.code;MEM&e.code;, &s.code;IO&e.code;) are required. Then it tests -if this access is already established. If so it simply returns. If -not it disables the currently established access, fixes bus routing and -enables access to all entities registered for this screen. - -Whenever a mode switch or a VT-switch is performed the common level will -return to SETUP state. - -<sect1>Resource Types -<p> - -Resource have certain properties. When registering resources each range -is accompanied by a flag consisting of the ORed flags of the different -properties the resource has. Each resource range may be classified -according to - -<itemize> - <item>its physical properties i.e., if it addresses - memory (&s.code;ResMem&e.code;) or - I/O space (&s.code;ResIo&e.code;), - <item>if it addresses a - block (&s.code;ResBlock&e.code;) or - sparse (&s.code;ResSparse&e.code;) - range, - <item>its access properties. -</itemize> - -There are two known access properties: - -<itemize> - <item>&s.code;ResExclusive&e.code; - for resources which may not be shared with any other device and - <item>&s.code;ResShared&e.code; - for resources which can be disabled and therefore can be shared. -</itemize> - -If it is necessary to test a resource against any type a generic access -type &s.code;ResAny&e.code; is provided. If this is set the resource -will conflict with any resource of a different entity intersecting its -range. Further it can be specified that a resource is decoded however -never used during any stage (&s.code;ResUnused&e.code;) or during -OPERATING state (&s.code;ResUnusedOpr&e.code;). A resource only visible -during the init functions (ie. &s.code;EntityInit()&e.code;, -&s.code;EntityEnter()&e.code; and &s.code;EntityLeave()&e.code; should -be registered with the flag &s.code;ResInit&e.code;. A resource that -might conflict with background resource ranges may be flagged with -&s.code;ResBios&e.code;.

Knowledge of -new object formats can be added to the loader in a straightforward -manner. This makes it possible to provide OS-independent modules (for -a given CPU architecture type). In addition to this, the loader can -load modules via the OS-provided &s.code;dlopen(3)&e.code; service where -available. Such modules are not platform independent, and the semantics -of &s.code;dlopen()&e.code; on most systems results in significant -limitations in the use of modules of this type. Support for -&s.code;dlopen()&e.code; modules in the loader is primarily for -experimental and development purposes. - -Symbols exported by the loader (on behalf of the core X server) to -modules are determined at compile time. Only those symbols explicitly -exported are available to modules. All external symbols of loaded -modules are exported to other modules, and to the core X server. The -loader can be requested to check for unresolved symbols at any time, -and the action to be taken for unresolved symbols can be controlled by -the caller of the loader. Typically the caller identifies which symbols -can safely remain unresolved and which cannot. - -NOTE: Now that ISO-C allows pointers to functions and pointers to data to -have different internal representations, some of the following interfaces -will need to be revisited. - -<sect1>Semi-private Loader Interface -<p> - -The following is the semi-private loader interface that is available to the -XFree86 common layer. - - <quote><p> - &s.code;void LoaderInit(void)&e.code; - <quote><p> - The &s.code;LoaderInit()&e.code; function initialises the loader, - and it must be called once before calling any other loader functions. - This function initialises the tables of exported symbols, and anything - else that might need to be initialised. - - </quote> - - &s.code;void LoaderSetPath(const char *path)&e.code; - <quote><p> - The &s.code;LoaderSetPath()&e.code; function initialises a default - module search path.

+
+<p>
+<bf>NOTE</bf>: This is a DRAFT document, and the interfaces described here
+are subject to change without notice.
+
+
+<sect>Preface
+<p>
+
+The broad design principles are:
+<itemize>
+ <item>keep it reasonable
+ <itemize>
+ <item>We cannot rewrite the complete server
+ <item>We don't want to re-invent the wheel
+ </itemize>
+ <item>keep it modular
+ <itemize>
+ <item>As many things as possible should go into modules
+ <item>The basic loader binary should be minimal
+ <item>A clean design with well defined layering is important
+ <item>DDX specific global variables are a nono
+ <item>The structure should be flexible enough to allow
+ future extensions
+ <item> The structure should minimize duplication of common code
+ </itemize>
+ <item>keep important features in mind
+ <itemize>
+ <item>multiple screens, including multiple instances of drivers
+ <item>mixing different color depths and visuals on different
+ and ideally even on the same screen
+ <item>better control of the PCI device used
+ <item>better config file parser
+ <item>get rid of all VGA compatibility assumptions
+ </itemize>
+</itemize>
+
+Unless we find major deficiencies in the DIX layer, we should avoid
+making changes there.
+
+<sect>The xorg.conf File
+<p>
+
+The xorg.conf file format is similar to the old format, with the following
+changes:
+
+<sect1>&k.device; section
+<p>
+
+ The &k.device; sections are similar to what they used to be, and
+ describe hardware-specific information for a single video card.
+ &k.device;
+ Some new keywords are added:
+
+
+ <descrip>
+ <tag>Driver "drivername"</tag>
+ Specifies the name of the driver to be used for the card. This
+ is mandatory.
+ <tag>BusID "busslot"</tag>
+ Specifies uniquely the location of the card on the bus. The
+ purpose is to identify particular cards in a multi-headed
+ configuration. The format of the argument is intentionally
+ vague, and may be architecture dependent. For a PCI bus, it
+ is something like "bus:slot:func".
+ </descrip>
+
+ A &k.device; section is considered ``active'' if there is a reference
+ to it in an active &k.screen; section.
+
+<sect1>&k.screen; section
+<p>
+
+ The &k.screen; sections are similar to what they used to be. They
+ no longer have a &k.driver; keyword, but an &k.identifier; keyword
+ is added. (The &k.driver; keyword may be accepted in place of the
+ &k.identifier; keyword for compatibility purposes.) The identifier
+ can be used to identify which screen is to be active when multiple
+ &k.screen sections are present. It is possible to specify the active
+ screen from the command line. A default is chosen in the absence
+ of one being specified. A &k.screen; section is considered ``active''
+ if there is a reference to it either from the command line, or from
+ an active &k.serverlayout; section.
+
+<sect1>&k.inputdevice; section
+<p>
+
+ The &k.inputdevice; section is a new section that describes
+ configuration information for input devices. It replaces the old
+ &s.key;Keyboard&e.key;, &s.key;Pointer&e.key; and &s.key;XInput&e.key;
+ sections. Like the &k.device; section, it has two mandatory keywords:
+ &k.identifier; and &k.driver;. For compatibility purposes the old
+ &s.key;Keyboard&e.key; and &s.key;Pointer&e.key; sections are
+ converted by the parser into &k.inputdevice; sections as follows:
+
+ <descrip>
+ <tag>&s.key;Keyboard&e.key;</tag>
+ &k.identifier; "Implicit Core Keyboard"<newline>
+ &k.driver; "keyboard"
+ <tag>&s.key;Pointer&e.key;</tag>
+ &k.identifier; "Implicit Core Pointer"<newline>
+ &k.driver; "mouse"
+ </descrip>
+
+ An &k.inputdevice; section is considered active if there is a
+ reference to it in an active &k.serverlayout; section. An
+ &k.inputdevice; section may also be referenced implicitly if there
+ is no &k.serverlayout; section, if the &s.cmd;-screen&e.cmd; command
+ line options is used, or if the &k.serverlayout; section doesn't
+ reference any &k.inputdevice; sections. In this case, the first
+ sections with drivers "keyboard" and "mouse" are used as the core
+ keyboard and pointer respectively.
+
+<sect1>&k.serverlayout; section
+<p>
+
+ The &k.serverlayout; section is a new section that is used to identify
+ which &k.screen; sections are to be used in a multi-headed configuration,
+ and the relative layout of those screens. It also identifies which
+ &k.inputdevice; sections are to be used. Each &k.serverlayout section
+ has an identifier, a list of &k.screen; section identifiers, and a list of
+ &k.inputdevice; section identifiers. &k.serverflags; options may also be
+ included in a &k.serverlayout; section, making it possible to override
+ the global values in the &k.serverflags; section.
+
+ A &k.serverlayout; section can be made active by being referenced on
+ the command line. In the absence of this, a default will be chosen
+ (the first one found). The screen names may optionally be followed
+ by a number specifying the preferred screen number, and optionally
+ by information specifying the physical positioning of the screen,
+ either in absolute terms or relative to another screen (or screens).
+ When no screen number is specified, they are numbered according to
+ the order in which they are listed. The old (now obsolete) method
+ of providing the positioning information is to give the names of
+ the four adjacent screens. The order of these is top, bottom, left,
+ right. Here is an example of a &k.serverlayout; section for two
+ screens using the old method, with the second located to the right
+ of the first:
+
+ <code>
+ Section "ServerLayout"
+ Identifier "Main Layout"
+ Screen 0 "Screen 1" "" "" "" "Screen 2"
+ Screen 1 "Screen 2"
+ Screen "Screen 3"
+ EndSection
+ </code>
+
+ The preferred way of specifying the layout is to explicitly specify
+ the screen's location in absolute terms or relative to another
+ screen.
+
+ In the absolute case, the upper left corner's coordinates are given
+ after the &s.key;Absolute&e.key; keyword. If the coordinates are
+ omitted, a value of &s.code;(0,0)&e.code; is assumed. An example
+ of absolute positioning follows:
+
+ <code>
+ Section "ServerLayout"
+ Identifier "Main Layout"
+ Screen 0 "Screen 1" Absolute 0 0
+ Screen 1 "Screen 2" Absolute 1024 0
+ Screen "Screen 3" Absolute 2048 0
+ EndSection
+ </code>
+
+ In the relative case, the position is specified by either using one of
+ the following keywords followed by the name of the reference screen:
+
+ <quote>
+ &s.key;RightOf&nl;
+ LeftOf&nl;
+ Above&nl;
+ Below&nl;
+ Relative&e.key;
+ </quote>
+
+ When the &s.key;Relative&e.key; keyword is used, the reference screen
+ name is followed by the coordinates of the new screen's origin
+ relative to reference screen. The following example shows how to use
+ some of the relative positioning options.
+
+ <code>
+ Section "ServerLayout"
+ Identifier "Main Layout"
+ Screen 0 "Screen 1"
+ Screen 1 "Screen 2" RightOf "Screen 1"
+ Screen "Screen 3" Relative "Screen 1" 2048 0
+ EndSection
+ </code>
+
+<sect1>Options
+<p>
+
+ Options are used more extensively. They may appear in most sections
+ now. Options related to drivers can be present in the &k.screen;,
+ &k.device; and &k.monitor; sections and the &k.display; subsections.
+ The order of precedence is &k.display;, &k.screen;, &k.monitor;,
+ &k.device;. Options have been extended to allow an optional value
+ to be specified in addition to the option name. For more details
+ about options, see the <ref id="options" name="Options"> section
+ for details.
+
+<sect>Driver Interface
+<p>
+
+The driver interface consists of a minimal set of entry points that are
+required based on the external events that the driver must react to.
+No non-essential structure is imposed on the way they are used beyond
+that. This is a significant difference compared with the old design.
+
+The entry points for drawing operations are already taken care of by
+the framebuffer code (including, XAA). Extensions and enhancements to
+framebuffer code are outside the scope of this document.
+
+This approach to the driver interface provides good flexibility, but does
+increase the complexity of drivers. To help address this, the XFree86
+common layer provides a set of ``helper'' functions to take care of things
+that most drivers need. These helpers help minimise the amount of code
+duplication between drivers. The use of helper functions by drivers is
+however optional, though encouraged. The basic philosophy behind the
+helper functions is that they should be useful to many drivers, that
+they should balance this against the complexity of their interface. It
+is inevitable that some drivers may find some helpers unsuitable and
+need to provide their own code.
+
+Events that a driver needs to react to are:
+
+ <descrip>
+ <tag>ScreenInit</tag>
+
+ An initialisation function is called from the DIX layer for each
+ screen at the start of each server generation.
+
+ <tag>Enter VT</tag>
+
+ The server takes control of the console.
+
+ <tag>Leave VT</tag>
+
+ The server releases control of the console.
+
+ <tag>Mode Switch</tag>
+
+ Change video mode.
+
+ <tag>ViewPort change</tag>
+
+ Change the origin of the physical view port.
+
+ <tag>ScreenSaver state change</tag>
+
+ Screen saver activation/deactivation.
+
+ <tag>CloseScreen</tag>
+
+ A close screen function is called from the DIX layer for each screen
+ at the end of each server generation.
+ </descrip>
+
+
+In addition to these events, the following functions are required by
+the XFree86 common layer:
+
+ <descrip>
+ <tag>Identify</tag>
+
+ Print a driver identifying message.
+
+ <tag>Probe</tag>
+
+ This is how a driver identifies if there is any hardware present that
+ it knows how to drive.
+
+ <tag>PreInit</tag>
+
+ Process information from the xorg.conf file, determine the
+ full characteristics of the hardware, and determine if a valid
+ configuration is present.
+ </descrip>
+
+The VidMode extension also requires:
+
+ <descrip>
+ <tag>ValidMode</tag>
+
+ Identify if a new mode is usable with the current configuration.
+ The PreInit function (and/or helpers it calls) may also make use
+ of the ValidMode function or something similar.
+ </descrip>
+
+
+Other extensions may require other entry points. The drivers will
+inform the common layer of these in such cases.
+
+<sect>Resource Access Control Introduction
+<p>
+
+Graphics devices are accessed through ranges in I/O or memory space.
+While most modern graphics devices allow relocation of such ranges many
+of them still require the use of well established interfaces such as
+VGA memory and IO ranges or 8514/A IO ranges. With modern buses (like
+PCI) it is possible for multiple video devices to share access to these
+resources. The RAC (Resource Access Control) subsystem provides a
+mechanism for this.
+
+<sect1>Terms and Definitions
+<p>
+
+<sect2>Bus
+<p>
+
+ ``Bus'' is ambiguous as it is used for different things: it may refer
+ to physical incompatible extension connectors in a computer system.
+ The RAC system knows two such systems: The ISA bus and the PCI bus.
+ (On the software level EISA, MCA and VL buses are currently treated
+ like ISA buses). ``Bus'' may also refer to logically different
+ entities on a single bus system which are connected via bridges. A
+ PCI system may have several distinct PCI buses connecting each other
+ by PCI-PCI bridges or to the host CPU by HOST-PCI bridges.
+
+ Systems that host more than one bus system link these together using
+ bridges. Bridges are a concern to RAC as they might block or pass
+ specific resources. PCI-PCI bridges may be set up to pass VGA
+ resources to the secondary bus. PCI-ISA buses pass any resources not
+ decoded on the primary PCI bus to the ISA bus. This way VGA resources
+ (although exclusive on the ISA bus) can be shared by ISA and PCI
+ cards. Currently HOST-PCI bridges are not yet handled by RAC as they
+ require specific drivers.
+
+<sect2>Entity
+<p>
+
+ The smallest independently addressable unit on a system bus is
+ referred to as an entity. So far we know ISA and PCI entities. PCI
+ entities can be located on the PCI bus by an unique ID consisting of
+ the bus, card and function number.
+
+<sect2>Resource
+<p>
+
+ ``Resource'' refers to a range of memory or I/O addresses an entity
+ can decode.
+
+ If a device is capable of disabling this decoding the resource is
+ called sharable. For PCI devices a generic method is provided to
+ control resource decoding. Other devices will have to provide a
+ device specific function to control decoding.
+
+ If the entity is capable of decoding this range at a different
+ location this resource is considered relocatable.
+
+ Resources which start at a specific address and occupy a single
+ continuous range are called block resources.
+
+ Alternatively resource addresses can be decoded in a way that they
+ satisfy the conditions:
+ <quote><verb>
+ address & mask == base
+ </verb></quote>
+ and
+ <quote><verb>
+ base & mask == base
+ </verb></quote>
+ Resources addressed in such a way are called sparse resources.
+
+<sect2>Server States
+<p>
+
+ The resource access control system knows two server states: the
+ SETUP and the OPERATING state. The SETUP state is entered whenever
+ a mode change takes place or the server exits or does VT switching.
+ During this state all entity resources are under resource access
+ control. During OPERATING state only those entities are controlled
+ which actually have shared resources that conflict with others.
+
+<sect>Control Flow in the Server and Mandatory Driver Functions
+<p>
+
+At the start of each server generation, &s.code;main()&e.code;
+(&s.code;dix/main.c&e.code;) calls the DDX function
+&s.code;InitOutput()&e.code;. This is the first place that the DDX gets
+control. &s.code;InitOutput()&e.code; is expected to fill in the global
+&s.code;screenInfo&e.code; struct, and one
+&s.code;screenInfo.screen[]&e.code; entry for each screen present. Here
+is what &s.code;InitOutput()&e.code; does:
+
+<sect1>Parse the xorg.conf file
+<p>
+
+ This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
+
+ The xorg.conf file is read in full, and the resulting information
+ stored in data structures. None of the parsed information is
+ processed at this point. The parser data structures are opaque to
+ the video drivers and to most of the common layer code.
+
+ The entire file is parsed first to remove any section ordering
+ requirements.
+
+
+<sect1>Initial processing of parsed information and command line options
+<p>
+
+ This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
+
+ The initial processing is to determine paths like the
+ &s.key;ModulePath&e.key;, etc, and to determine which &k.serverlayout;,
+ &k.screen; and &k.device; sections are active.
+
+
+<sect1>Enable port I/O access
+<p>
+
+ Port I/O access is controlled from the XFree86 common layer, and is
+ ``all or nothing''. It is enabled prior to calling driver probes, at
+ the start of subsequent server generations, and when VT switching
+ back to the Xserver. It is disabled at the end of server generations,
+ and when VT switching away from the Xserver.
+
+ The implementation details of this may vary on different platforms.
+
+
+<sect1>General bus probe
+<p>
+
+ This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
+
+ In the case of ix86 machines, this will be a general PCI probe.
+ The full information obtained here will be available to the drivers.
+ This information persists for the life of the Xserver. In the PCI
+ case, the PCI information for all video cards found is available by
+ calling &s.code;xf86GetPciVideoInfo()&e.code;.
+
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;pciVideoPtr *xf86GetPciVideoInfo(void)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ returns a pointer to a list of pointers to
+ &s.code;pciVideoRec&e.code; entries, of which there is one for
+ each detected PCI video card. The list is terminated with a
+ &s.code;NULL&e.code; pointer. If no PCI video cards were
+ detected, the return value is &s.code;NULL&e.code;.
+
+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+ After the bus probe, the resource broker is initialised.
+
+
+<sect1>Load initial set of modules
+<p>
+
+ This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
+
+ The core server contains a list of mandatory modules. These are loaded
+ first. Currently the only module on this list is the bitmap font module.
+
+ The next set of modules loaded are those specified explicitly in the
+ &k.module; section of the config file.
+
+ The final set of initial modules are the driver modules referenced
+ by the active &k.device; and &k.inputdevice; sections in the config
+ file. Each of these modules is loaded exactly once.
+
+
+<sect1>Register Video and Input Drivers
+<p>
+
+ This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
+
+ When a driver module is loaded, the loader calls its
+ &s.code;Setup&e.code; function. For video drivers, this function
+ calls &s.code;xf86AddDriver()&e.code; to register the driver's
+ &s.code;DriverRec&e.code;, which contains a small set of essential
+ details and driver entry points required during the early phase of
+ &s.code;InitOutput()&e.code;. &s.code;xf86AddDriver()&e.code; adds
+ it to the global &s.code;xf86DriverList[]&e.code; array.
+
+ The &s.code;DriverRec&e.code; contains the driver canonical name,
+ the &s.code;Identify()&e.code;,
+ &s.code;Probe()&e.code; and &s.code;AvailableOptions()&e.code;
+ function entry points as well as a pointer
+ to the driver's module (as returned from the loader when the driver
+ was loaded) and a reference count which keeps track of how many
+ screens are using the driver. The entry driver entry points are
+ those required prior to the driver allocating and filling in its
+ &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;.
+
+ For a static server, the &s.code;xf86DriverList[]&e.code; array is
+ initialised at build time, and the loading of modules is not done.
+
+ A similar procedure is used for input drivers. The input driver's
+ &s.code;Setup&e.code; function calls
+ &s.code;xf86AddInputDriver()&e.code; to register the driver's
+ &s.code;InputDriverRec&e.code;, which contains a small set of
+ essential details and driver entry points required during the early
+ phase of &s.code;InitInput()&e.code;.
+ &s.code;xf86AddInputDriver()&e.code; adds it to the global
+ &s.code;xf86InputDriverList[]&e.code; array. For a static server,
+ the &s.code;xf86InputDriverList[]&e.code; array is initialised at
+ build time.
+
+ Both the &s.code;xf86DriverList[]&e.code; and
+ &s.code;xf86InputDriverList[]&e.code; arrays have been initialised
+ by the end of this stage.
+
+ Once all the drivers are registered, their
+ &s.code;ChipIdentify()&e.code; functions are called.
+
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;void ChipIdentify(int flags)&e.code;
+ <quote>
+ This is expected to print a message indicating the driver name,
+ a short summary of what it supports, and a list of the chipset
+ names that it supports. It may use the xf86PrintChipsets() helper
+ to do this.
+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;void xf86PrintChipsets(const char *drvname, const char *drvmsg,
+ &f.indent;SymTabPtr chips)&e.code;
+ <quote>
+ This function provides an easy way for a driver's ChipIdentify
+ function to format the identification message.
+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+<sect1>Initialise Access Control
+<p>
+
+ This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
+
+ The Resource Access Control (RAC) subsystem is initialised before
+ calling any driver functions that may access hardware. All generic
+ bus information is probed and saved (for restoration later). All
+ (shared resource) video devices are disabled at the generic bus
+ level, and a probe is done to find the ``primary'' video device. These
+ devices remain disabled for the next step.
+
+
+<sect1>Video Driver Probe<label id="probe">
+<p>
+ This is done at the start of the first server generation only. The
+ &s.code;ChipProbe()&e.code; function of each registered video driver
+ is called.
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;Bool ChipProbe(DriverPtr drv, int flags)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ The purpose of this is to identify all instances of hardware
+ supported by the driver. The flags value is currently either 0,
+ &s.code;PROBE_DEFAULT&e.code; or &s.code;PROBE_DETECT&e.code;.
+ &s.code;PROBE_DETECT&e.code; is used if "-configure" or "-probe"
+ command line arguments are given and indicates to the
+ &s.code;Probe()&e.code; function that it should not configure the
+ bus entities and that no xorg.conf information is available.
+
+ The probe must find the active device sections that match the
+ driver by calling &s.code;xf86MatchDevice()&e.code;. The number
+ of matches found limits the maximum number of instances for this
+ driver. If no matches are found, the function should return
+ &s.code;FALSE&e.code; immediately.
+
+ Devices that cannot be identified by using device-independent
+ methods should be probed at this stage (keeping in mind that access
+ to all resources that can be disabled in a device-independent way
+ are disabled during this phase). The probe must be a minimal
+ probe. It should just determine if there is a card present that
+ the driver can drive. It should use the least intrusive probe
+ methods possible. It must not do anything that is not essential,
+ like probing for other details such as the amount of memory
+ installed, etc. It is recommended that the
+ &s.code;xf86MatchPciInstances()&e.code; helper function be used
+ for identifying matching PCI devices, and similarly the
+ &s.code;xf86MatchIsaInstances()&e.code; for ISA (non-PCI) devices
+ (see the <ref id="rac" name="RAC"> section). These helpers also
+ checks and claims the appropriate entity. When not using the
+ helper, that should be done with &s.code;xf86CheckPciSlot()&e.code;
+ and &s.code;xf86ClaimPciSlot()&e.code; for PCI devices and
+ &s.code;xf86ClaimIsaSlot()&e.code; for ISA devices (see the
+ <ref id="rac" name="RAC"> section).
+
+ The probe must register all non-relocatable resources at this
+ stage. If a resource conflict is found between exclusive resources
+ the driver will fail immediately. This is usually best done with
+ the &s.code;xf86ConfigPciEntity()&e.code; helper function
+ for PCI and &s.code;xf86ConfigIsaEntity()&e.code; for ISA
+ (see the <ref id="rac" name="RAC"> section). It is possible to
+ register some entity specific functions with those helpers. When
+ not using the helpers, the &s.code;xf86AddEntityToScreen()&e.code;
+ &s.code;xf86ClaimFixedResources()&e.code; and
+ &s.code;xf86SetEntityFuncs()&e.code; should be used instead (see
+ the <ref id="rac" name="RAC"> section).
+
+ If a chipset is specified in an active device section which the
+ driver considers relevant (ie it has no driver specified, or the
+ driver specified matches the driver doing the probe), the Probe
+ must return &s.code;FALSE&e.code; if the chipset doesn't match
+ one supported by the driver.
+
+ If there are no active device sections that the driver considers
+ relevant, it must return &s.code;FALSE&e.code;.
+
+ Allocate a &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; for each active instance of the
+ hardware found, and fill in the basic information, including the
+ other driver entry points. This is best done with the
+ &s.code;xf86ConfigIsaEntity()&e.code; helper function for ISA
+ instances or &s.code;xf86ConfigPciEntity()&e.code; for PCI instances.
+ These functions allocate a &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; for active
+ entities. Optionally &s.code;xf86AllocateScreen()&e.code;
+ function may also be used to allocate the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;.
+ Any of these functions take care of initialising fields to defined
+ ``unused'' values.
+
+ Claim the entities for each instance of the hardware found. This
+ prevents other drivers from claiming the same hardware.
+
+ Must leave hardware in the same state it found it in, and must not
+ do any hardware initialisation.
+
+ All detection can be overridden via the config file, and that
+ parsed information is available to the driver at this stage.
+
+ Returns &s.code;TRUE&e.code; if one or more instances are found,
+ and &s.code;FALSE&e.code; otherwise.

+<sect1>Allocate non-conflicting resources
+<p>
+
+ This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
+
+ Before calling the drivers again, the resource information collected

+ of PCI resources for the probed devices, and resolving any conflicts
+ in the relocatable PCI resources. It also reports conflicts, checks
+ bus routing issues, and anything else that is needed to enable the

+

+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;Bool ChipPreInit(ScrnInfoRec screen, int flags)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ The purpose of this function is to find out all the information
+ required to determine if the configuration is usable, and to
+ initialise those parts of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; that
+ can be set once at the beginning of the first server generation.
+
+ The number of entities registered for the screen should be checked
+ against the expected number (most drivers expect only one). The
+ entity information for each of them should be retrieved (with
+ &s.code;xf86GetEntityInfo()&e.code;) and checked for the correct
+ bus type and that none of the sharable resources registered during
+ the Probe phase was rejected.
+
+ Access to resources for the entities that can be controlled in a
+ device-independent way are enabled before this function is called.
+ If the driver needs to access any resources that it has disabled
+ in an &s.code;EntityInit()&e.code; function that it registered,
+ then it may enable them here providing that it disables them before
+ this function returns.
+
+ This includes probing for video memory, clocks, ramdac, and all
+ other HW info that is needed. It includes determining the
+ depth/bpp/visual and related info. It includes validating and
+ determining the set of video modes that will be used (and anything
+ that is required to determine that).
+
+ This information should be determined in the least intrusive way
+ possible. The state of the HW must remain unchanged by this
+ function. Although video memory (including MMIO) may be mapped
+ within this function, it must be unmapped before returning. Driver
+ specific information should be stored in a structure hooked into
+ the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;'s &s.code;driverPrivate&e.code;
+ field. Any other modules which require persistent data (ie data
+ that persists across server generations) should be initialised in
+ this function, and they should allocate a ``privates'' index to
+ hook their data into by calling
+ &s.code;xf86AllocateScrnInfoPrivateIndex().&e.code; The ``privates''
+ data is persistent.
+
+ Helper functions for some of these things are provided at the
+ XFree86 common level, and the driver can choose to make use of
+ them.
+
+ All additional resources that the screen needs must be registered
+ here. This should be done with
+ &s.code;xf86RegisterResources()&e.code;. If some of the fixed
+ resources registered in the Probe phase are not needed or not
+ decoded by the hardware when in the OPERATING server state, their
+ status should be updated with
+ &s.code;xf86SetOperatingState()&e.code;.
+
+ Modules may be loaded at any point in this function, and all
+ modules that the driver will need must be loaded before the end
+ of this function. Either the &s.code;xf86LoadSubModule()&e.code;
+ or the &s.code;xf86LoadDrvSubModule()&e.code; function should be
+ used to load modules depending on whether a
+ &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; has been set up. A driver may unload
+ a module within this function if it was only needed temporarily,
+ and the &s.code;xf86UnloadSubModule()&e.code; function should be used
+ to do that. Otherwise there is no need to explicitly unload modules
+ because the loader takes care of module dependencies and will
+ unload submodules automatically if/when the driver module is
+ unloaded.
+
+ The bulk of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; fields should be filled
+ out in this function.
+
+ &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; returns &s.code;FALSE&e.code; when
+ the configuration is unusable in some way (unsupported depth, no
+ valid modes, not enough video memory, etc), and &s.code;TRUE&e.code;
+ if it is usable.
+
+ It is expected that if the &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; function
+ returns &s.code;TRUE&e.code;, then the only reasons that subsequent
+ stages in the driver might fail are lack or resources (like xalloc
+ failures). All other possible reasons for failure should be
+ determined by the &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; function.

+
+ The &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code; for screens where the &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; fails are removed.

+ (&s.code;RAC_VIEWPORT&e.code;) and the colormap operations
+ (&s.code;RAC_COLORMAP&e.code;). Any operation that requires
+ resources which might be disabled during OPERATING state should
+ be set to use RAC. This can be specified separately for memory
+ and IO resources (the &s.code;racMemFlags&e.code; and

+
+
+ The &s.code;ChipScreenInit()&e.code; function (or functions from other

+ &s.code;ScreenRec&e.code;'s &s.code;devPrivates&e.code; area by
+ calling &s.code;AllocateScreenPrivateIndex()&e.code; if it needs
+ per-generation storage. Since the &s.code;ScreenRec&e.code;'s
+ &s.code;devPrivates&e.code; information is cleared for each server
+ generation, this is the correct place to initialise it.
+
+ After &s.code;AddScreen()&e.code; has successfully returned, the

+
+ <quote><verb>
+ pScreen
+ racMemFlags
+ racIoFlags
+ </verb></quote>
+
+ The &s.code;ChipScreenInit()&e.code; function should initialise the

+ &s.code;ChipCloseScreen()&e.code;. This means that the existing
+ &s.code;CloseScreen()&e.code; function is wrapped.
+
+<sect1>Finalising RAC Initialisation
+<p>
+
+ After all the &s.code;ChipScreenInit()&e.code; functions have been
+ called, each screen has registered its RAC requirements. This
+ information is used to determine which shared resources are requested
+ by more than one driver and set the access functions accordingly.
+ This is done following these rules:
+
+ <enum>
+ <item>The sharable resources registered by each entity are compared.
+ If a resource is registered by more than one entity the entity
+ will be marked to indicate that it needs to share this resources
+ type (IO or MEM).
+
+ <item>A resource marked ``disabled'' during OPERATING state will be
+ ignored entirely.
+
+ <item>A resource marked ``unused'' will only conflict with an overlapping
+ resource of an other entity if the second is actually in use
+ during OPERATING state.
+
+ <item>If an ``unused'' resource was found to conflict but the entity
+ does not use any other resource of this type the entire resource
+ type will be disabled for that entity.
+ </enum>
+
+
+<sect1>Finishing InitOutput()
+<p>
+
+ At this point &s.code;InitOutput()&e.code; is finished, and all the
+ screens have been setup in their initial video mode.
+
+
+<sect1>Mode Switching
+<p>
+
+ When a SwitchMode event is received, &s.code;ChipSwitchMode()&e.code;
+ is called (when it exists):
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;Bool ChipSwitchMode(int index, DisplayModePtr mode, int flags)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ Initialises the new mode for the screen identified by
+ &s.code;index;&e.code;. The viewport may need to be adjusted

+
+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+
+<sect1>Changing Viewport
+<p>
+
+ When a Change Viewport event is received,
+ &s.code;ChipAdjustFrame()&e.code; is called (when it exists):
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;void ChipAdjustFrame(int index, int x, int y, int flags)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ Changes the viewport for the screen identified by
+ &s.code;index;&e.code;.
+
+ It should be noted that many chipsets impose restrictions on where the
+ viewport may be placed in the virtual resolution, either for alignment
+ reasons, or to prevent the start of the viewport from being positioned
+ within a pixel (as can happen in a 24bpp mode). After calculating the
+ value the chipset's panning registers need to be set to for non-DGA
+ modes, this function should recalculate the ScrnInfoRec's
+ &s.code;frameX0&e.code;, &s.code;frameY0&e.code, &s.code;frameX1&e.code;
+ and &s.code;frameY1&e.code; fields to correspond to that value. If
+ this is not done, switching to another mode might cause the position
+ of a hardware cursor to change.

+
+<sect1>VT Switching
+<p>

+
+ </quote>
+
+ &s.code;void ChipLeaveVT(int index, int flags)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ This function should restore the saved video state. If
+ appropriate it should also turn off the HW cursor, and invalidate
+ any pixmap/font caches.
+
+ </quote>
+
+ Optionally, &s.code;ChipLeaveVT()&e.code; may also unmap memory
+ regions. If so, &s.code;ChipEnterVT()&e.code; will need to remap
+ them. Additionally, if an aperture used to access video memory is
+ unmapped and remapped in this fashion, &s.code;ChipEnterVT()&e.code;
+ will also need to notify the framebuffer layers of the aperture's new
+ location in virtual memory. This is done with a call to the screen's
+ &s.code;ModifyPixmapHeader()&e.code; function, as follows
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;(*pScreen->ModifyPixmapHeader)(pScrn->ppix,
+ &f.indent;-1, -1, -1, -1, -1, <it>NewApertureAddress</it>);&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ where the &s.code``ppix''&e.code; field in a ScrnInfoRec
+ points to the pixmap used by the screen's
+ &s.code;SaveRestoreImage()&e.code; function to hold the screen's
+ contents while switched out.
+
+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+ Currently, aperture remapping, as described here, should not be
+ attempted if the driver uses the &s.code;xf8_16bpp&e.code; or
+ &s.code;xf8_32bpp&e.code; framebuffer layers. A pending
+ restructuring of VT switching will address this restriction in
+ the near future.
+
+ </quote>
+
+ Other layers may wrap the &s.code;ChipEnterVT()&e.code; and
+ &s.code;ChipLeaveVT()&e.code; functions if they need to take some
+ action when these events are received.
+
+<sect1>End of server generation
+<p>
+
+ At the end of each server generation, the DIX layer calls
+ &s.code;ChipCloseScreen()&e.code; for each screen:
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;Bool ChipCloseScreen(int index, ScreenPtr pScreen)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ This function should restore the saved video state and unmap the
+ memory regions.
+
+ It should also free per-screen data structures allocated by the
+ driver. Note that the persistent data held in the
+ &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;'s &s.code;driverPrivate&e.code; field
+ should not be freed here because it is needed by subsequent server
+ generations.
+
+ The &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;'s &s.code;vtSema&e.code; field
+ should be set to &s.code;FALSE&e.code; once the video HW state
+ has been restored.
+
+ Before freeing the per-screen driver data the saved
+ &s.code;CloseScreen&e.code; value should be restored to
+ &s.code;pScreen->CloseScreen&e.code;, and that function should
+ be called after freeing the data.
+
+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+<sect>Optional Driver Functions
+<p>
+
+The functions outlined here can be called from the XFree86 common layer,
+but their presence is optional.
+
+<sect1>Mode Validation
+<p>
+
+ When a mode validation helper supplied by the XFree86-common layer is
+ being used, it can be useful to provide a function to check for hw
+ specific mode constraints:
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;ModeStatus ChipValidMode(int index, DisplayModePtr mode,
+ &f.indent;Bool verbose, int flags)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ Check the passed mode for hw-specific constraints, and return the
+ appropriate status value.
+
+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+<p>
+This function may also modify the effective timings and clock of the passed
+mode. These have been stored in the mode's &s.code;Crtc*&e.code; and
+&s.code;SynthClock&e.code; elements, and have already been adjusted for
+interlacing, doublescanning, multiscanning and clock multipliers and dividers.
+The function should not modify any other mode field, unless it wants to modify
+the mode timings reported to the user by &s.code;xf86PrintModes()&e.code;.
+
+<p>
+The function is called once for every mode in the xorg.conf Monitor section
+assigned to the screen, with &s.code;flags&e.code; set to
+&s.code;MODECHECK_INITIAL&e.code;. It is subsequently called for every mode
+in the xorg.conf Display subsection assigned to the screen, with
+&s.code;flags&e.code; set to &s.code;MODECHECK_FINAL&e.code;. In the second
+case, the mode will have successfully passed all other tests. In addition,
+the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;'s &s.code;virtualX&e.code;,
+&s.code;virtualY&e.code; and &s.code;displayWidth&e.code; fields will have been
+set as if the mode to be validated were to be the last mode accepted.
+
+<p>
+In effect, calls with MODECHECK_INITIAL are intended for checks that do not
+depend on any mode other than the one being validated, while calls with
+MODECHECK_FINAL are intended for checks that may involve more than one mode.
+
+<sect1>Free screen data
+<p>
+
+ When a screen is deleted prior to the completion of the ScreenInit
+ phase the &s.code;ChipFreeScreen()&e.code; function is called when defined.
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;void ChipFreeScreen(int scrnindex, int flags)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ Free any driver-allocated data that may have been allocated up to

+<sect>Data and Data Structures
+<p>
+
+<sect1>Command line data
+<p>
+
+Command line options are typically global, and are stored in global
+variables. These variables are read-only and are available to drivers
+via a function call interface. Most of these command line values are
+processed via helper functions to ensure that they are treated consistently
+by all drivers. The other means of access is provided for cases where
+the supplied helper functions might not be appropriate.
+
+Some of them are:
+
+<quote><verb>
+ xf86Verbose verbosity level

+ xf86FlipPixels -flippixels from the command line
+ xf86ProbeOnly -probeonly from the command line
+ defaultColorVisualClass -cc from the command line
+</verb></quote>
+
+If we ever do allow for screen-specific command line options, we may
+need to rethink this.
+
+These can be accessed in a read-only manner by drivers with the following
+functions:
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;int xf86GetVerbosity()&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ Returns the value of &s.code;xf86Verbose&e.code;.

+
+ </quote>
+
+ &s.code;rgb xf86GetWeight()&e.code;

+
+<sect1>Data handling
+<p>
+
+Config file data contains parts that are global, and parts that are
+Screen specific. All of it is parsed into data structures that neither
+the drivers or most other parts of the server need to know about.
+
+The global data is typically not required by drivers, and as such, most
+of it is stored in the private &s.code;xf86InfoRec&e.code;.
+
+The screen-specific data collected from the config file is stored in
+screen, device, display, monitor-specific data structures that are separate
+from the &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code;, with the appropriate elements/fields
+hooked into the &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code; as required. The screen
+config data is held in &s.code;confScreenRec&e.code;, device data in
+the &s.code;GDevRec&e.code;, monitor data in the &s.code;MonRec&e.code;,
+and display data in the &s.code;DispRec&e.code;.
+
+The XFree86 common layer's screen specific data (the actual data in use
+for each screen) is held in the &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code;. As has
+been outlined above, the &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code; are allocated at probe
+time, and it is the responsibility of the Drivers' &s.code;Probe()&e.code;
+and &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; functions to finish filling them in based
+on both data provided on the command line and data provided from the
+Config file. The precedence for this is:
+
+ <quote>
+ command line -> config file -> probed/default data
+ </quote>
+
+For most things in this category there are helper functions that the
+drivers can use to ensure that the above precedence is consistently
+used.
+
+As well as containing screen-specific data that the XFree86 common layer
+(including essential parts of the server infrastructure as well as helper
+functions) needs to access, it also contains some data that drivers use
+internally. When considering whether to add a new field to the
+&s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;, consider the balance between the convenience
+of things that lots of drivers need and the size/obscurity of the
+&s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;.
+
+Per-screen driver specific data that cannot be accommodated with the
+static &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; fields is held in a driver-defined
+data structure, a pointer to which is assigned to the
+&s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;'s &s.code;driverPrivate&e.code; field. This
+is per-screen data that persists across server generations (as does the
+bulk of the static &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; data). It would typically
+also include the video card's saved state.
+
+Per-screen data for other modules that the driver uses (for example,
+the XAA module) that is reset for each server generation is hooked into
+the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; through it's &s.code;privates&e.code;
+field.
+
+Once it has stabilised, the data structures and variables accessible to
+video drivers will be documented here. In the meantime, those things
+defined in the &s.code;xf86.h&e.code; and &s.code;xf86str.h&e.code;
+files are visible to video drivers. Things defined in
+&s.code;xf86Priv.h&e.code; and &s.code;xf86Privstr.h&e.code; are NOT
+intended to be visible to video drivers, and it is an error for a driver
+to include those files.
+
+
+<sect1>Accessing global data
+<p>
+
+Some other global state information that the drivers may access via
+functions is as follows:
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;Bool xf86ServerIsExiting()&e.code;
+ <quote><p>

+
+ &s.code;Bool xf86ServerIsInitialising()&e.code;

+
+ &s.code;Bool xf86ServerIsOnlyProbing()&e.code;

+ and &s.code;FALSE&e.code; otherwise.
+
+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+<sect1>Allocating private data
+<p>
+
+A driver and any module it uses may allocate per-screen private storage
+in either the &s.code;ScreenRec&e.code; (DIX level) or
+&s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; (XFree86 common layer level).
+&s.code;ScreenRec&e.code; storage persists only for a single server
+generation, and &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; storage persists across
+generations for the lifetime of the server.
+
+The &s.code;ScreenRec&e.code; &s.code;devPrivates&e.code; data must be
+reallocated/initialised at the start of each new generation. This is
+normally done from the &s.code;ChipScreenInit()&e.code; function, and
+Init functions for other modules that it calls. Data allocated in this
+way should be freed by the driver's &s.code;ChipCloseScreen()&e.code;
+functions, and Close functions for other modules that it calls. A new
+&s.code;devPrivates&e.code; entry is allocated by calling the
+&s.code;AllocateScreenPrivateIndex()&e.code; function.
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;int AllocateScreenPrivateIndex()&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ This function allocates a new element in the
+ &s.code;devPrivates&e.code; field of all currently existing
+ &s.code;ScreenRecs&e.code;. The return value is the index of this
+ new element in the &s.code;devPrivates&e.code; array. The
+ &s.code;devPrivates&e.code; field is of type
+ &s.code;DevUnion&e.code;:
+
+ <verb>
+ typedef union _DevUnion {
+ pointer ptr;
+ long val;
+ unsigned long uval;
+ pointer (*fptr)(void);
+ } DevUnion;
+ </verb>
+
+ which allows the element to be used for any of the above types.
+ It is commonly used as a pointer to data that the caller allocates
+ after the new index has been allocated.
+
+ This function will return &s.code;-1&e.code; when there is an
+ error allocating the new index.
+
+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+The &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; &s.code;privates&e.code; data persists
+for the life of the server, so only needs to be allocated once. This
+should be done from the &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; function, and Init
+functions for other modules that it calls. Data allocated in this way
+should be freed by the driver's &s.code;ChipFreeScreen()&e.code; functions,
+and Free functions for other modules that it calls. A new
+&s.code;privates&e.code; entry is allocated by calling the
+&s.code;xf86AllocateScrnInfoPrivateIndex()&e.code; function.
+
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;int xf86AllocateScrnInfoPrivateIndex()&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ This function allocates a new element in the &s.code;privates&e.code;
+ field of all currently existing &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code;.
+ The return value is the index of this new element in the
+ &s.code;privates&e.code; array. The &s.code;privates&e.code;
+ field is of type &s.code;DevUnion&e.code;:

+ <verb>
+ typedef union _DevUnion {
+ pointer ptr;
+ long val;

+ pointer (*fptr)(void);
+ } DevUnion;
+ </verb>
+
+ which allows the element to be used for any of the above types.
+ It is commonly used as a pointer to data that the caller allocates
+ after the new index has been allocated.
+
+ This function will not return when there is an error allocating
+ the new index. When there is an error it will cause the server
+ to exit with a fatal error. The similar function for allocation
+ privates in the &s.code;ScreenRec&e.code;
+ (&s.code;AllocateScreenPrivateIndex()&e.code;) differs in this
+ respect by returning &s.code;-1&e.code; when the allocation fails.

+<sect>Keeping Track of Bus Resources<label id="rac">
+<p>
+
+<sect1>Theory of Operation
+<p>
+
+The XFree86 common layer has knowledge of generic access control mechanisms
+for devices on certain bus systems (currently the PCI bus) as well as
+of methods to enable or disable access to the buses itself. Furthermore
+it can access information on resources decoded by these devices and if
+necessary modify it.
+
+When first starting the Xserver collects all this information, saves it
+for restoration, checks it for consistency, and if necessary, corrects
+it. Finally it disables all resources on a generic level prior to
+calling any driver function.
+
+When the &s.code;Probe()&e.code; function of each driver is called the
+device sections are matched against the devices found in the system.
+The driver may probe devices at this stage that cannot be identified by
+using device independent methods. Access to all resources that can be
+controlled in a device independent way is disabled. The
+&s.code;Probe()&e.code; function should register all non-relocatable
+resources at this stage. If a resource conflict is found between
+exclusive resources the driver will fail immediately. Optionally the
+driver might specify an &s.code;EntityInit()&e.code;,
+&s.code;EntityLeave()&e.code; and &s.code;EntityEnter()&e.code; function.
+
+&s.code;EntityInit()&e.code; can be used to disable any shared resources
+that are not controlled by the generic access control functions. It is
+called prior to the PreInit phase regardless if an entity is active or
+not. When calling the &s.code;EntityInit()&e.code;,
+&s.code;EntityEnter()&e.code; and &s.code;EntityLeave()&e.code; functions
+the common level will disable access to all other entities on a generic
+level. Since the common level has no knowledge of device specific
+methods to disable access to resources it cannot be guaranteed that
+certain resources are not decoded by any other entity until the
+&s.code;EntityInit()&e.code; or &s.code;EntityEnter()&e.code; phase is
+finished. Device drivers should therefore register all those resources
+which they are going to disable. If these resources are never to be
+used by any driver function they may be flagged &s.code;ResInit&e.code;
+so that they can be removed from the resource list after processing all
+&s.code;EntityInit()&e.code; functions. &s.code;EntityEnter()&e.code;
+should disable decoding of all resources which are not registered as
+exclusive and which are not handled by the generic access control in
+the common level. The difference to &s.code;EntityInit()&e.code; is
+that the latter one is only called once during lifetime of the server.
+It can therefore be used to set up variables prior to disabling resources.
+&s.code;EntityLeave()&e.code; should restore the original state when
+exiting the server or switching to a different VT. It also needs to
+disable device specific access functions if they need to be disabled on
+server exit or VT switch. The default state is to enable them before
+giving up the VT.
+
+In &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; phase each driver should check if any
+sharable resources it has registered during &s.code;Probe()&e.code; has
+been denied and take appropriate action which could simply be to fail.
+If it needs to access resources it has disabled during
+&s.code;EntitySetup()&e.code; it can do so provided it has registered
+these and will disable them before returning from
+&s.code;PreInit()&e.code;. This also applies to all other driver
+functions. Several functions are provided to request resource ranges,
+register these, correct PCI config space and add replacements for the
+generic access functions. Resources may be marked ``disabled'' or
+``unused'' during OPERATING stage. Although these steps could also be
+performed in &s.code;ScreenInit()&e.code;, this is not desirable.
+
+Following &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; phase the common level determines
+if resource access control is needed. This is the case if more than
+one screen is used. If necessary the RAC wrapper module is loaded. In
+&s.code;ScreenInit()&e.code; the drivers can decide which operations
+need to be placed under RAC. Available are the frame buffer operations,
+the pointer operations and the colormap operations. Any operation that
+requires resources which might be disabled during OPERATING state should
+be set to use RAC. This can be specified separately for memory and IO
+resources.
+
+When &s.code;ScreenInit()&e.code; phase is done the common level will
+determine which shared resources are requested by more than one driver
+and set the access functions accordingly. This is done following these
+rules:
+
+<enum>
+<item>The sharable resources registered by each entity are compared. If
+ a resource is registered by more than one entity the entity will be
+ marked to need to share this resources type (&s.code;IO&e.code; or
+ &s.code;MEM&e.code;).
+
+<item>A resource marked ``disabled'' during OPERATING state will be ignored
+ entirely.
+
+<item>A resource marked ``unused'' will only conflicts with an overlapping
+ resource of an other entity if the second is actually in use during
+ OPERATING state.
+
+<item>If an ``unused'' resource was found to conflict however the entity
+ does not use any other resource of this type the entire resource type
+ will be disabled for that entity.
+</enum>
+
+The driver has the choice among different ways to control access to
+certain resources:
+
+<enum>
+<item>It can rely on the generic access functions. This is probably the
+ most common case. Here the driver only needs to register any resource
+ it is going to use.
+
+<item>It can replace the generic access functions by driver specific
+ ones. This will mostly be used in cases where no generic access
+ functions are available. In this case the driver has to make sure
+ these resources are disabled when entering the &s.code;PreInit()&e.code;
+ stage. Since the replacement functions are registered in
+ &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; the driver will have to enable these
+ resources itself if it needs to access them during this state. The
+ driver can specify if the replacement functions can control memory
+ and/or I/O resources separately.
+
+<item>The driver can enable resources itself when it needs them. Each
+ driver function enabling them needs to disable them before it will
+ return. This should be used if a resource which can be controlled
+ in a device dependent way is only required during SETUP state. This
+ way it can be marked ``unused'' during OPERATING state.
+</enum>
+
+A resource which is decoded during OPERATING state however never accessed
+by the driver should be marked unused.
+
+Since access switching latencies are an issue during Xserver operation,
+the common level attempts to minimize the number of entities that need
+to be placed under RAC control. When a wrapped operation is called,
+the &s.code;EnableAccess()&e.code; function is called before control is
+passed on. &s.code;EnableAccess()&e.code; checks if a screen is under
+access control. If not it just establishes bus routing and returns.
+If the screen needs to be under access control,
+&s.code;EnableAccess()&e.code; determines which resource types
+(&s.code;MEM&e.code;, &s.code;IO&e.code;) are required. Then it tests
+if this access is already established. If so it simply returns. If
+not it disables the currently established access, fixes bus routing and
+enables access to all entities registered for this screen.
+
+Whenever a mode switch or a VT-switch is performed the common level will
+return to SETUP state.
+
+<sect1>Resource Types
+<p>
+
+Resource have certain properties. When registering resources each range
+is accompanied by a flag consisting of the ORed flags of the different
+properties the resource has. Each resource range may be classified
+according to
+
+<itemize>
+ <item>its physical properties i.e., if it addresses
+ memory (&s.code;ResMem&e.code;) or
+ I/O space (&s.code;ResIo&e.code;),
+ <item>if it addresses a
+ block (&s.code;ResBlock&e.code;) or
+ sparse (&s.code;ResSparse&e.code;)
+ range,
+ <item>its access properties.
+</itemize>
+
+There are two known access properties:
+
+<itemize>
+ <item>&s.code;ResExclusive&e.code;
+ for resources which may not be shared with any other device and
+ <item>&s.code;ResShared&e.code;
+ for resources which can be disabled and therefore can be shared.
+</itemize>
+
+If it is necessary to test a resource against any type a generic access
+type &s.code;ResAny&e.code; is provided. If this is set the resource
+will conflict with any resource of a different entity intersecting its
+range. Further it can be specified that a resource is decoded however
+never used during any stage (&s.code;ResUnused&e.code;) or during
+OPERATING state (&s.code;ResUnusedOpr&e.code;). A resource only visible
+during the init functions (ie. &s.code;EntityInit()&e.code;,
+&s.code;EntityEnter()&e.code; and &s.code;EntityLeave()&e.code; should
+be registered with the flag &s.code;ResInit&e.code;. A resource that
+might conflict with background resource ranges may be flagged with
+&s.code;ResBios&e.code;. This might be useful when registering resources
+ranges that were assigned by the system Bios.
+
+Several predefined resource lists are available for VGA and 8514/A
+resources in &s.code;common/xf86Resources.h&e.code;.

+
+The functions provided for resource management are listed in their order
+of use in the driver.
+
+
+<sect2>Probe Phase
+<p>
+
+In this phase each driver detects those resources it is able to drive,
+creates an entity record for each of them, registers non-relocatable
+resources and allocates screens and adds the resources to screens.
+
+Two helper functions are provided for matching device sections in the
+xorg.conf file to the devices:
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;int xf86MatchPciInstances(const char *driverName, int vendorID,
+ &f.indent;SymTabPtr chipsets, PciChipsets *PCIchipsets,
+ &f.indent;GDevPtr *devList, int numDevs, DriverPtr drvp,
+ &f.indent;int **foundEntities)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ This function finds matches between PCI cards that a driver supports
+ and config file device sections. It is intended for use in the
+ &s.code;ChipProbe()&e.code; function of drivers for PCI cards.
+ Only probed PCI devices with a vendor ID matching
+ &s.code;vendorID&e.code; are considered. &s.code;devList&e.code;
+ and &s.code;numDevs&e.code; are typically those found from
+ calling &s.code;xf86MatchDevice()&e.code;, and represent the active
+ config file device sections relevant to the driver.
+ &s.code;PCIchipsets&e.code; is a table that provides a mapping
+ between the PCI device IDs, the driver's internal chipset tokens
+ and a list of fixed resources.
+
+ When a device section doesn't have a &s.key;BusID&e.key; entry it
+ can only match the primary video device. Secondary devices are
+ only matched with device sections that have a matching
+ &s.key;BusID&e.key; entry.
+
+ Once the preliminary matches have been found, a final match is
+ confirmed by checking if the chipset override, ChipID override or
+ probed PCI chipset type match one of those given in the
+ &s.code;chipsets&e.code; and &s.code;PCIchipsets&e.code; lists.
+ The &s.code;PCIchipsets&e.code; list includes a list of the PCI
+ device IDs supported by the driver. The list should be terminated
+ with an entry with PCI ID &s.code;-1&e.code;". The
+ &s.code;chipsets&e.code; list is a table mapping the driver's
+ internal chipset tokens to names, and should be terminated with
+ a &s.code;NULL&e.code; entry. Only those entries with a
+ corresponding entry in the &s.code;PCIchipsets&e.code; list are
+ considered. The order of precedence is: config file chipset,
+ config file ChipID, probed PCI device ID.
+
+ In cases where a driver handles PCI chipsets with more than one
+ vendor ID, it may set &s.code;vendorID&e.code; to
+ &s.code;0&e.code;, and OR each devID in the list with (the
+ vendor ID << 16).
+
+ Entity index numbers for confirmed matches are returned as an
+ array via &s.code;foundEntities&e.code;. The PCI information,
+ chipset token and device section for each match are found in the
+ &s.code;EntityInfoRec&e.code; referenced by the indices.
+
+ The function return value is the number of confirmed matches. A
+ return value of &s.code;-1&e.code; indicates an internal error.
+ The returned &s.code;foundEntities&e.code; array should be freed
+ by the driver with &s.code;xfree()&e.code; when it is no longer
+ needed in cases where the return value is greater than zero.

+ This function tries to register the resources in

+ they decode. So far this is only the case for PCI devices. By
+ default the PCI resources are registered as shared
+ (&s.code;ResShared&e.code;) if the driver wants to set a different

+The driver may replace the generic access control functions for an entity.

+ The driver can pass three functions: one for I/O access, one for
+ memory access and one for combined memory and I/O access. If the

+ independently of I/O access, if the I/O access function and the
+ combined access functions are the same it is assumed that I/O can
+ not be controlled independently. If memory and I/O have to be
+ controlled together all three values should be the same. If a
+ non &s.code;NULL&e.code; value is passed as third argument it is
+ interpreted as an address where to store the old access record.
+ If the third argument is &s.code;NULL&e.code; it will be assumed
+ that the generic access should be enabled before replacing the
+ access functions. Otherwise it will be disabled. The driver may
+ enable them itself using the returned values. It should do this
+ from its replacement access functions as the generic access may
+ be disabled by the common level on certain occasions. If replacement
+ functions are specified they must control all resources of the
+ specific type registered for the entity.

+<sect2>ScreenInit Phase
+<p>
+
+All that is required in this phase is to setup the RAC flags. Note that

+in &s.code;rac/xf86RAC.h&e.code;. They are:

+ <quote>
+ for framebuffer operations (including hw acceleration)

+<sect>Config file ``Option'' entries<label id="options">
+<p>
+
+Option entries are permitted in most sections and subsections of the
+config file. There are two forms of option entries:
+
+<descrip>
+<tag>Option "option-name"</tag>
+ A boolean option.
+<tag>Option "option-name" "option-value"</tag>
+ An option with an arbitrary value.
+</descrip>
+
+The option entries are handled by the parser, and a list of the parsed
+options is included with each of the appropriate data structures that
+the drivers have access to. The data structures used to hold the option
+information are opaque to the driver, and a driver must not access the
+option data directly. Instead, the common layer provides a set of
+functions that may be used to access, check and manipulate the option
+data.
+
+First, the low level option handling functions. In most cases drivers
+would not need to use these directly.
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;pointer xf86FindOption(pointer options, const char *name)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ Takes a list of options and an option name, and returns a handle
+ for the first option entry in the list matching the name. Returns

+
+ </quote>
+
+ &s.code;char *xf86FindOptionValue(pointer options, const char *name)&e.code;

+ if no match is found.
+
+ </quote>
+
+ &s.code;void xf86MarkOptionUsed(pointer option)&e.code;

+ </quote>
+ </quote>
+
+
+Next, the higher level functions that most drivers would use.
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;void xf86CollectOptions(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn, pointer extraOpts)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ Collect the options from each of the config file sections used by

+ &s.code;pScrn->confScreen&e.code;, &s.code;pScrn->display&e.code;,
+ &s.code;pScrn->monitor&e.code;,
+ &s.code;pScrn->numEntities&e.code;, and
+ &s.code;pScrn->entityList&e.code; are initialised.
+ &s.code;extraOpts&e.code; may optionally be set to an additional
+ list of options to be combined with the others. The order of
+ precedence for options is &s.code;extraOpts&e.code;, display,
+ confScreen, monitor, device.
+
+ </quote>
+
+ &s.code;void xf86ProcessOptions(int scrnIndex, pointer options,
+ &f.indent;OptionInfoPtr optinfo)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ Processes a list of options according to the information in the
+ array of &s.code;OptionInfoRecs&e.code; (&s.code;optinfo&e.code;).
+ The resulting information is stored in the &s.code;value&e.code;
+ fields of the appropriate &s.code;optinfo&e.code; entries. The
+ &s.code;found&e.code; fields are set to &s.code;TRUE&e.code;
+ when an option with a value of the correct type if found, and
+ &s.code;FALSE&e.code; otherwise. The &s.code;type&e.code; field
+ is used to determine the expected value type for each option.
+ Each option in the list of options for which there is a name match
+ (but not necessarily a value type match) is marked as used.
+ Warning messages are printed when option values don't match the
+ types specified in the optinfo data.
+
+ NOTE: If this function is called before a driver's screen number
+ is known (e.g., from the &s.code;ChipProbe()&e.code; function) a
+ &s.code;scrnIndex&e.code; value of &s.code;-1&e.code; should be
+ used.
+
+ NOTE 2: Given that this function stores into the
+ &s.code;OptionInfoRecs&e.code; pointed to by &s.code;optinfo&e.code,
+ the caller should ensure the &s.code;OptionInfoRecs&e.code; are
+ (re-)initialised before the call, especially if the caller expects
+ to use the predefined option values as defaults.
+
+ The &s.code;OptionInfoRec&e.code; is defined as follows:
+
+ <verb>
+ typedef struct {
+ double freq;
+ int units;
+ } OptFrequency;
+
+ typedef union {
+ unsigned long num;
+ char * str;
+ double realnum;
+ Bool bool;
+ OptFrequency freq;
+ } ValueUnion;
+
+ typedef enum {
+ OPTV_NONE = 0,
+ OPTV_INTEGER,
+ OPTV_STRING, /* a non-empty string */
+ OPTV_ANYSTR, /* Any string, including an empty one */
+ OPTV_REAL,
+ OPTV_BOOLEAN,
+ OPTV_PERCENT,
+ OPTV_FREQ
+ } OptionValueType;
+
+ typedef enum {
+ OPTUNITS_HZ = 1,
+ OPTUNITS_KHZ,
+ OPTUNITS_MHZ
+ } OptFreqUnits;
+
+ typedef struct {
+ int token;
+ const char* name;
+ OptionValueType type;
+ ValueUnion value;
+ Bool found;
+ } OptionInfoRec, *OptionInfoPtr;
+ </verb>
+
+ &s.code;OPTV_FREQ&e.code; can be used for options values that are
+ frequencies. These values are a floating point number with an
+ optional unit name appended. The unit name can be one of "Hz",
+ "kHz", "k", "MHz", "M". The multiplier associated with the unit
+ is stored in &s.code;freq.units&e.code;, and the scaled frequency
+ is stored in &s.code;freq.freq&e.code;. When no unit is specified,
+ &s.code;freq.units&e.code; is set to &s.code;0&e.code;, and
+ &s.code;freq.freq&e.code; is unscaled.
+
+ &s.code;OPTV_PERCENT&e.code; can be used for option values that are
+ specified in percent (e.g. "20%"). These values are a floating point
+ number with a percent sign appended. If the percent sign is missing,
+ the parser will fail to match the value.
+
+ Typical usage is to setup an array of
+ &s.code;OptionInfoRecs&e.code; with all fields initialised.
+ The &s.code;value&e.code; and &s.code;found&e.code; fields get
+ set by &s.code;xf86ProcessOptions()&e.code;. For cases where the
+ value parsing is more complex, the driver should specify
+ &s.code;OPTV_STRING&e.code;, and parse the string itself. An
+ example of using this option handling is included in the
+ <ref id="sample" name="Sample Driver"> section.

+<sect>Offscreen Memory Manager
+<p>
+
+Management of offscreen video memory may be handled by the XFree86
+framebuffer manager. Once the offscreen memory manager is running,
+drivers or extensions may allocate, free or resize areas of offscreen
+video memory using the following functions (definitions taken from
+&s.code;xf86fbman.h&e.code;):
+
+<code>
+ typedef struct _FBArea {
+ ScreenPtr pScreen;
+ BoxRec box;
+ int granularity;
+ void (*MoveAreaCallback)(struct _FBArea*, struct _FBArea*)
+ void (*RemoveAreaCallback)(struct _FBArea*)
+ DevUnion devPrivate;
+ } FBArea, *FBAreaPtr;
+
+ typedef void (*MoveAreaCallbackProcPtr)(FBAreaPtr from, FBAreaPtr to)
+ typedef void (*RemoveAreaCallbackProcPtr)(FBAreaPtr)
+
+ FBAreaPtr xf86AllocateOffscreenArea (
+ ScreenPtr pScreen,
+ int width, int height,
+ int granularity,
+ MoveAreaCallbackProcPtr MoveAreaCallback,
+ RemoveAreaCallbackProcPtr RemoveAreaCallback,
+ pointer privData
+ )
+
+ void xf86FreeOffscreenArea (FBAreaPtr area)
+
+ Bool xf86ResizeOffscreenArea (
+ FBAreaPtr area
+ int w, int h
+ )
+</code>
+
+The function:
+<quote>
+ &s.code;Bool xf86FBManagerRunning(ScreenPtr pScreen)&e.code;
+</quote>
+
+can be used by an extension to check if the driver has initialized
+the memory manager. The manager is not available if this returns
+&s.code;FALSE&e.code; and the functions above will all fail.
+
+
+&s.code;xf86AllocateOffscreenArea()&e.code; can be used to request a
+rectangle of dimensions &s.code;width&e.code; x &s.code;height&e.code;
+(in pixels) from unused offscreen memory. &s.code;granularity&e.code;
+specifies that the leftmost edge of the rectangle must lie on some
+multiple of &s.code;granularity&e.code; pixels. A granularity of zero
+means the same thing as a granularity of one - no alignment preference.
+A &s.code;MoveAreaCallback&e.code; can be provided to notify the requester
+when the offscreen area is moved. If no &s.code;MoveAreaCallback&e.code;
+is supplied then the area is considered to be immovable. The
+&s.code;privData&e.code; field will be stored in the manager's internal
+structure for that allocated area and will be returned to the requester
+in the &s.code;FBArea&e.code; passed via the
+&s.code;MoveAreaCallback&e.code;. An optional
+&s.code;RemoveAreaCallback&e.code; is provided. If the driver provides
+this it indicates that the area should be allocated with a lower priority.
+Such an area may be removed when a higher priority request (one that
+doesn't have a &s.code;RemoveAreaCallback&e.code;) is made. When this
+function is called, the driver will have an opportunity to do whatever
+cleanup it needs to do to deal with the loss of the area, but it must
+finish its cleanup before the function exits since the offscreen memory
+manager will free the area immediately after.
+
+&s.code;xf86AllocateOffscreenArea()&e.code; returns &s.code;NULL&e.code;
+if it was unable to allocate the requested area. When no longer needed,
+areas should be freed with &s.code;xf86FreeOffscreenArea()&e.code;.
+
+&s.code;xf86ResizeOffscreenArea()&e.code; resizes an existing
+&s.code;FBArea&e.code;. &s.code;xf86ResizeOffscreenArea()&e.code;

+&s.code;xf86ResizeOffscreenArea()&e.code; returns &s.code;FALSE&e.code;,
+the original &s.code;FBArea&e.code; is left unmodified. Resizing an
+area maintains the area's original &s.code;granularity&e.code;,
+&s.code;devPrivate&e.code;, and &s.code;MoveAreaCallback&e.code;.
+&s.code;xf86ResizeOffscreenArea()&e.code; has considerably less overhead
+than freeing the old area then reallocating the new size, so it should
+be used whenever possible.

+A generic colormap handling layer is provided within the XFree86 common

+ &s.code;maxColors&e.code; is the number of entries in the palette.
+ &s.code;sigRGBbits&e.code; is the size in bits of each color

+ an optional function that may be provided when the overscan color
+ is an index from the standard LUT and when it needs to be adjusted
+ to keep it as close to black as possible. The
+ &s.code;setOverscan&e.code; function programs the overscan index.
+ It shouldn't normally be used for depths other than 8.
+ &s.code;setOverscan&e.code; should be set to &s.code;NULL&e.code;

+ Currently, the following flags are defined:
+
+ &s.code;VIDEO_NO_CLIPPING&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ This indicates that the video adaptor does not support
+ clipping. The driver will never receive ``Put'' requests

+ &s.code;drw_w&e.code; and &s.code;drw_h&e.code; is visible.
+ This flag does not apply to ``Get'' requests. Hardware

+ the extents of the clipping region passed to it.
+
+ </quote>
+
+ &s.code;VIDEO_INVERT_CLIPLIST&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ This indicates that the video driver requires the clip
+ list to contain the regions which are obscured rather
+ than the regions which are are visible.
+
+ </quote>
+
+ &s.code;VIDEO_OVERLAID_STILLS&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ Implementing PutStill for hardware that does video as an

+<sect>The Loader
+<p>
+
+This section describes the interfaces to the module loader. The loader
+interfaces can be divided into two groups: those that are only available to
+the XFree86 common layer, and those that are also available to modules.
+
+<sect1>Loader Overview
+<p>
+
+The loader is capable of loading modules in a range of object formats,
+and knowledge of these formats is built in to the loader. Knowledge of
+new object formats can be added to the loader in a straightforward
+manner. This makes it possible to provide OS-independent modules (for
+a given CPU architecture type). In addition to this, the loader can
+load modules via the OS-provided &s.code;dlopen(3)&e.code; service where
+available. Such modules are not platform independent, and the semantics
+of &s.code;dlopen()&e.code; on most systems results in significant
+limitations in the use of modules of this type. Support for
+&s.code;dlopen()&e.code; modules in the loader is primarily for
+experimental and development purposes.
+
+Symbols exported by the loader (on behalf of the core X server) to
+modules are determined at compile time. Only those symbols explicitly
+exported are available to modules. All external symbols of loaded
+modules are exported to other modules, and to the core X server. The
+loader can be requested to check for unresolved symbols at any time,
+and the action to be taken for unresolved symbols can be controlled by
+the caller of the loader. Typically the caller identifies which symbols
+can safely remain unresolved and which cannot.
+
+NOTE: Now that ISO-C allows pointers to functions and pointers to data to
+have different internal representations, some of the following interfaces
+will need to be revisited.
+
+<sect1>Semi-private Loader Interface
+<p>
+
+The following is the semi-private loader interface that is available to the
+XFree86 common layer.
+
+ <quote><p>
+ &s.code;void LoaderInit(void)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ The &s.code;LoaderInit()&e.code; function initialises the loader,
+ and it must be called once before calling any other loader functions.
+ This function initialises the tables of exported symbols, and anything
+ else that might need to be initialised.
+
+ </quote>
+
+ &s.code;void LoaderSetPath(const char *path)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ The &s.code;LoaderSetPath()&e.code; function initialises a default
+ module search path. This must be called if calls to other functions
+ are to be made without explicitly specifying a module search path.
+ The search path &s.code;path&e.code; must be a string of one or more
+ comma separated absolute paths. Modules are expected to be located
+ below these paths, possibly in subdirectories of these paths.
+
+ </quote>

+ &f.indent;pointer options, const XF86ModReqInfo * modreq,
+ &f.indent;int *errmaj, int *errmin)&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ The &s.code;LoadModule()&e.code; function loads the module called
+ &s.code;module&e.code;. The return value is a module handle, and
+ may be used in future calls to the loader that require a reference
+ to a loaded module. The module name &s.code;module&e.code; is
+ normally the module's canonical name, which doesn't contain any
+ directory path information, or any object/library file prefixes of
+ suffixes. Currently a full pathname and/or filename is also accepted.
+ This might change. The other parameters are:
+
+ &s.code;path&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ An optional comma-separated list of module search paths.
+ When &s.code;NULL&e.code;, the default search path is used.
+
+ </quote>
+
+ &s.code;subdirlist&e.code;
+ <quote><p>
+ An optional &s.code;NULL&e.code; terminated list of
+ subdirectories to search. When &s.code;NULL&e.code;,
+ the default built-in list is used (refer to
+ &s.code;stdSubdirs&e.code; in &s.code;loadmod.c&e.code;).

+The module version information, and the optional &s.code;SetupProc&e.code;
+and &s.code;TearDownProc&e.code; entry points are found by the loader
+by locating a data object in the module called "modnameModuleData",
+where "modname" is the canonical name of the module. Modules must
+contain such a data object, and it must be declared with global scope,
+be compile-time initialised, and is of the following type:

+ XF86ModuleVersionInfo * vers;
+ ModuleSetupProc setup;
+ ModuleTearDownProc teardown;
+} XF86ModuleData;
+</verb>

+ When defined, this function is called by the loader after successfully
+ loading a module. module is a handle for the newly loaded module,

+ arguments are those that were passed to the
+ &s.code;LoadModule()&e.code; (or &s.code;LoadSubModule()&e.code;),

+ register access functions, and the &s.code;vgaHWRec&e.code; function
+ pointers can be initialised to these by calling the
+ &s.code;vgaHWSetMmioFuncs()&e.code; function described above. Some
+ drivers/platforms may require a different set of functions for VGA
+ access. The access functions are described here.

+<sect>Some notes about writing a driver<label id="sample">
+<p>
+
+<em>NOTE: some parts of this are not up to date</em>
+
+The following is an outline for writing a basic unaccelerated driver
+for a PCI video card with a linear mapped framebuffer, and which has a
+VGA core. It is includes some general information that is relevant to
+most drivers (even those which don't fit that basic description).
+
+The information here is based on the initial conversion of the Matrox
+Millennium driver to the ``new design''. For a fleshing out and sample
+implementation of some of the bits outlined here, refer to that driver.
+Note that this is an example only. The approach used here will not be
+appropriate for all drivers.
+
+Each driver must reserve a unique driver name, and a string that is used
+to prefix all of its externally visible symbols. This is to avoid name
+space clashes when loading multiple drivers. The examples here are for
+the ``ZZZ'' driver, which uses the ``ZZZ'' or ``zzz'' prefix for its externally
+visible symbols.
+
+
+<sect1>Include files
+<p>
+
+ All drivers normally include the following headers:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"xf86.h"&nl;
+ "xf86_OSproc.h"&nl;
+ "xf86_ansic.h"&nl;
+ "xf86Resources.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+ Wherever inb/outb (and related things) are used the following should be
+ included:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"compiler.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+ Note: in drivers, this must be included after &s.code;"xf86_ansic.h"&e.code;.
+
+ Drivers that need to access PCI vendor/device definitions need this:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"xf86PciInfo.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ Drivers that need to access the PCI config space need this:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"xf86Pci.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ Drivers using the mi banking wrapper need:
+
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"mibank.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ Drivers that initialise a SW cursor need this:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"mipointer.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ All drivers implementing backing store need this:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"mibstore.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ All drivers using the mi colourmap code need this:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"micmap.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ If a driver uses the vgahw module, it needs this:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"vgaHW.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ Drivers supporting VGA or Hercules monochrome screens need:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"xf1bpp.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ Drivers supporting VGA or EGC 16-colour screens need:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"xf4bpp.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ Drivers using cfb need:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;#define PSZ 8&nl;
+ #include "cfb.h"&nl;
+ #undef PSZ&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ Drivers supporting bpp 16, 24 or 32 with cfb need one or more of:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"cfb16.h"&nl;
+ "cfb24.h"&nl;
+ "cfb32.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ The driver's own header file:
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"zzz.h"&e.code;
+ </quote>
+
+ Drivers must NOT include the following:
+
+ <quote>
+ &s.code;"xf86Priv.h"&nl;
+ "xf86Privstr.h"&nl;
+ "xf86_libc.h"&nl;
+ "xf86_OSlib.h"&nl;
+ "Xos.h"&e.code;&nl;
+ any OS header
+ </quote>
+
+
+<sect1>Data structures and initialisation
+<p>
+
+<itemize>
+ <item>The following macros should be defined:
+ <code>
+#define VERSION <version-as-an-int>
+#define ZZZ_NAME "ZZZ" /* the name used to prefix messages */
+#define ZZZ_DRIVER_NAME "zzz" /* the driver name as used in config file */
+#define ZZZ_MAJOR_VERSION <int>
+#define ZZZ_MINOR_VERSION <int>
+#define ZZZ_PATCHLEVEL <int>
+ </code>
+<p>
+ NOTE: &s.code;ZZZ_DRIVER_NAME&e.code; should match the name of the
+ driver module without things like the "lib" prefix, the "_drv" suffix
+ or filename extensions.
+<p>
+
+ <item>A DriverRec must be defined, which includes the functions required
+ at the pre-probe phase. The name of this DriverRec must be an
+ upper-case version of ZZZ_DRIVER_NAME (for the purposes of static
+ linking).
+<p>
+ <code>
+DriverRec ZZZ = {
+ VERSION,
+ ZZZ_DRIVER_NAME,
+ ZZZIdentify,
+ ZZZProbe,
+ ZZZAvailableOptions,
+ NULL,
+ 0
+};
+ </code>
+
+ <item>Define list of supported chips and their matching ID:
+<p>
+ <code>
+static SymTabRec ZZZChipsets[] = {
+ { PCI_CHIP_ZZZ1234, "zzz1234a" },
+ { PCI_CHIP_ZZZ5678, "zzz5678a" },
+ { -1, NULL }
+};
+ </code>
+<p>
+ The token field may be any integer value that the driver may use to
+ uniquely identify the supported chipsets. For drivers that support
+ only PCI devices using the PCI device IDs might be a natural choice,
+ but this isn't mandatory. For drivers that support both PCI and other
+ devices (like ISA), some other ID should probably used. When other
+ IDs are used as the tokens it is recommended that the names be
+ defined as an &s.code;enum&e.code; type.
+<p>
+ <item>If the driver uses the &s.code;xf86MatchPciInstances(&e.code;)
+ helper (recommended for drivers that support PCI cards) a list that
+ maps PCI IDs to chip IDs and fixed resources must be defined:
+<p>
+ <code>
+static PciChipsets ZZZPciChipsets[] = {
+ { PCI_CHIP_ZZZ1234, PCI_CHIP_ZZZ1234, RES_SHARED_VGA },
+ { PCI_CHIP_ZZZ5678, PCI_CHIP_ZZZ5678, RES_SHARED_VGA },
+ { -1, -1, RES_UNDEFINED }
+}
+ </code>
+<p>
+ <item>Define the &s.code;XF86ModuleVersionInfo&e.code; struct for the
+ driver. This is required for the dynamically loaded version:
+<p>
+ <code>
+static XF86ModuleVersionInfo zzzVersRec =
+{
+ "zzz",
+ MODULEVENDORSTRING,
+ MODINFOSTRING1,
+ MODINFOSTRING2,
+ XF86_VERSION_CURRENT,
+ ZZZ_MAJOR_VERSION, ZZZ_MINOR_VERSION, ZZZ_PATCHLEVEL,
+ ABI_CLASS_VIDEODRV,
+ ABI_VIDEODRV_VERSION,
+ MOD_CLASS_VIDEODRV,
+ {0,0,0,0}
+};
+ </code>
+<p>
+ <item>Define a data structure to hold the driver's screen-specific data.
+ This must be used instead of global variables. This would be defined
+ in the &s.code;"zzz.h"&e.code; file, something like:
+<p>
+ <code>
+typedef struct {
+ type1 field1;
+ type2 field2;
+ int fooHack;
+ Bool pciRetry;
+ Bool noAccel;
+ Bool hwCursor;
+ CloseScreenProcPtr CloseScreen;
+ OptionInfoPtr Options;
+ ...
+} ZZZRec, *ZZZPtr;
+ </code>
+<p>
+ <item>Define the list of config file Options that the driver accepts. For
+ consistency between drivers those in the list of ``standard'' options
+ should be used where appropriate before inventing new options.
+<p>
+ <code>
+typedef enum {
+ OPTION_FOO_HACK,
+ OPTION_PCI_RETRY,
+ OPTION_HW_CURSOR,
+ OPTION_NOACCEL
+} ZZZOpts;
+
+static const OptionInfoRec ZZZOptions[] = {
+ { OPTION_FOO_HACK, "FooHack", OPTV_INTEGER, {0}, FALSE },
+ { OPTION_PCI_RETRY, "PciRetry", OPTV_BOOLEAN, {0}, FALSE },
+ { OPTION_HW_CURSOR, "HWcursor", OPTV_BOOLEAN, {0}, FALSE },
+ { OPTION_NOACCEL, "NoAccel", OPTV_BOOLEAN, {0}, FALSE },
+ { -1, NULL, OPTV_NONE, {0}, FALSE }
+};
+ </code>
+<p>
+</itemize>
+
+<sect1>Functions
+<p>
+
+
+<sect2>SetupProc
+<p>
+
+ For dynamically loaded modules, a &s.code;ModuleData&e.code;
+ variable is required. It is should be the name of the driver
+ prepended to "ModuleData". A &s.code;Setup()&e.code; function is
+ also required, which calls &s.code;xf86AddDriver()&e.code; to add
+ the driver to the main list of drivers.
+
+ <code>
+static MODULESETUPPROTO(zzzSetup);
+
+XF86ModuleData zzzModuleData = { &zzzVersRec, zzzSetup, NULL };
+
+static pointer
+zzzSetup(pointer module, pointer opts, int *errmaj, int *errmin)
+{
+ static Bool setupDone = FALSE;
+
+ /* This module should be loaded only once, but check to be sure. */
+
+ if (!setupDone) {
+ /*
+ * Modules that this driver always requires may be loaded
+ * here by calling LoadSubModule().
+ */
+
+ setupDone = TRUE;
+ xf86AddDriver(&MGA, module, 0);
+
+ /*
+ * The return value must be non-NULL on success even though
+ * there is no TearDownProc.
+ */
+ return (pointer)1;
+ } else {
+ if (errmaj) *errmaj = LDR_ONCEONLY;
+ return NULL;
+ }
+}
+ </code>
+
+<sect2>GetRec, FreeRec
+<p>
+
+ A function is usually required to allocate the driver's
+ screen-specific data structure and hook it into the
+ &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;'s &s.code;driverPrivate&e.code; field.
+ The &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;'s &s.code;driverPrivate&e.code; is
+ initialised to &s.code;NULL&e.code;, so it is easy to check if the
+ initialisation has already been done. After allocating it, initialise
+ the fields. By using &s.code;xnfcalloc()&e.code; to do the allocation
+ it is zeroed, and if the allocation fails the server exits.
+<p>
+ NOTE:
+ When allocating structures from inside the driver which are defined
+ on the common level it is important to initialize the structure to
+ zero.
+ Only this guarantees that the server remains source compatible to
+ future changes in common level structures.
+
+ <code>
+static Bool
+ZZZGetRec(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn)
+{
+ if (pScrn->driverPrivate != NULL)
+ return TRUE;
+ pScrn->driverPrivate = xnfcalloc(sizeof(ZZZRec), 1);
+ /* Initialise as required */
+ ...
+ return TRUE;
+}
+ </code>
+
+ Define a macro in &s.code;"zzz.h"&e.code; which gets a pointer to
+ the &s.code;ZZZRec&e.code; when given &s.code;pScrn&e.code;:
+
+ <code>
+#define ZZZPTR(p) ((ZZZPtr)((p)->driverPrivate))
+ </code>
+
+ Define a function to free the above, setting it to &s.code;NULL&e.code;
+ once it has been freed:
+
+ <code>
+static void
+ZZZFreeRec(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn)
+{
+ if (pScrn->driverPrivate == NULL)
+ return;
+ xfree(pScrn->driverPrivate);
+ pScrn->driverPrivate = NULL;
+}
+ </code>
+
+<sect2>Identify
+<p>
+
+ Define the &s.code;Identify()&e.code; function. It is run before
+ the Probe, and typically prints out an identifying message, which
+ might include the chipsets it supports. This function is mandatory:
+
+ <code>
+static void
+ZZZIdentify(int flags)
+{
+ xf86PrintChipsets(ZZZ_NAME, "driver for ZZZ Tech chipsets",
+ ZZZChipsets);
+}
+ </code>
+
+<sect2>Probe
+<p>
+
+ Define the &s.code;Probe()&e.code; function. The purpose of this
+ is to find all instances of the hardware that the driver supports,
+ and for the ones not already claimed by another driver, claim the
+ slot, and allocate a &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;. This should be
+ a minimal probe, and it should under no circumstances leave the
+ state of the hardware changed. Because a device is found, don't
+ assume that it will be used. Don't do any initialisations other
+ than the required &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; initialisations.
+ Don't allocate any new data structures.
+
+ This function is mandatory.
+
+ NOTE: The &s.code;xf86DrvMsg()&e.code; functions cannot be used from
+ the Probe.
+
+ <code>
+static Bool

+
+<sect2>AvailableOptions
+<p>
+
+ Define the &s.code;AvailableOptions()&e.code; function. The purpose
+ of this is to return the available driver options back to the

+ user can see which options are available for them to use.
+
+<sect2>PreInit
+<p>
+
+ Define the &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; function. The purpose of
+ this is to find all the information required to determine if the

+
+ This function is mandatory.
+
+ NOTES:
+ <enum>
+ <item>The &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; function is only called once

+
+ <item>Although the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; has been allocated
+ before this function is called, the &s.code;ScreenRec&e.code;
+ has not been allocated. That means that things requiring it
+ cannot be used in this function.
+
+ <item>Very little of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; has been
