+ <para>To understand this document and the accompanying source code, you should know the C language. You should be familiar with 2D graphics and windowing concepts such as clipping, bitmaps, fonts, etc. You should have a general knowledge of the X Window System. To implement the server code on your hardware, you need to know a lot about your hardware, its graphic display device(s), and (possibly) its networking and multitasking facilities. This document depends a lot on the source code, so you should have a listing of the code handy.</para>
+ <para>Some source in the distribution is directly compilable on your machine. Some of it will require modification. Other parts may have to be completely written from scratch.

+ <para>Note to the 2008 edition: at this time this document must be considered incomplete, though improved over the 2004 edition. In particular, the new Render extension is still lacking good documentation, and has become vital to high performance X implementations. Modern applications and desktop environments are now much more sensitive to good implementation of the Render extension than in most operations of the old X graphics model. The shadow frame buffer implementation is also very useful in many circumstances, and also needs documentation. We hope to rectify these shortcomings in our documentation in the future. Help would be greatly appreciated.</para>

+<section>
+ <title>The X Window System</title>
+<para>
+The X Window System, or simply "X," is a
+windowing system that provides high-performance, high-level,
+device-independent graphics.
+</para>
+<para>
+X is a windowing system designed for bitmapped graphic displays.
+The display can have a
+simple, monochrome display or it can have a color display with up to 32 bits
+per pixel with a special graphics processor doing the work. (In this
+document, monochrome means a black and white display with one bit per pixel.
+Even though the usual meaning of monochrome is more general, this special
+case is so common that we decided to reserve the word for this purpose.)
+In practice, monochrome displays are now almost unheard of, with 4 bit
+gray scale displays being the low end.
+</para>
+<para>
+X is designed for a networking environment where
+users can run applications on machines other than their own workstations.
+Sometimes, the connection is over an Ethernet network with a protocol such as TCP/IP;
+but, any "reliable" byte stream is allowable.
+A high-bandwidth byte stream is preferable; RS-232 at
+9600 baud would be slow without compression techniques.
+</para>
+<para>
+X by itself allows great freedom of design.
+For instance, it does not include any user interface standard.
+Its intent is to "provide mechanism, not policy."
+By making it general, it can be the foundation for a wide
+variety of interactive software.
+</para>
+<para>
+For a more detailed overview, see the document "The X Window System."
+For details on the byte stream protocol, see "X Window System protocol."
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Overview of the Server</title>
+<para>
+The display server
+manages windows and simple graphics requests
+for the user on behalf of different client applications.
+The client applications can be running on any machine on the network.
+The server mainly does three things:
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Responds to protocol requests from existing clients (mostly graphic and text drawing commands)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Sends device input (keystrokes and mouse actions) and other events to existing clients</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Maintains client connections</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+<para>
+The server code is organized into four major pieces:
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Device Independent (DIX) layer - code shared among all implementations</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Operating System (OS) layer - code that is different for each operating system but is shared among all graphic devices for this operating system</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Device Dependent (DDX) layer - code that is (potentially) different for each combination of operating system and graphic device</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Extension Interface - a standard way to add features to the X server</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+<para>
+The "porting layer" consists of the OS and DDX layers; these are
+actually parallel and neither one is on top of the other.
+The DIX layer is intended to be portable
+without change to target systems and is not
+detailed here, although several routines
+in DIX that are called by DDX are
+documented.
+Extensions incorporate new functionality into the server; and require
+additional functionality over a simple DDX.
+</para>
+<para>
+The following sections outline the functions of the layers.
+Section 3 briefly tells what you need to know about the DIX layer.
+The OS layer is explained in Section 4.
+Section 5 gives the theory of operation and procedural interface for the
+DDX layer.
+Section 6 describes the functions which exist for the extension writer.
+</para>
+</section>
+
+<section>
+ <title>DIX Layer</title>
+<para>
+The DIX layer is the machine and device independent part of X.
+The source should be common to all operating systems and devices.
+The port process should not include changes to this part, therefore internal interfaces to DIX
+modules are not discussed, except for public interfaces to the DDX and the OS layers.
+The functions described in this section are available for extension writers to use.
+</para>
+<para>
+In the process of getting your server to work, if
+you think that DIX must be modified for purposes other than bug fixes,
+you may be doing something wrong.
+Keep looking for a more compatible solution.
+When the next release of the X server code is available,
+you should be able to just drop in the new DIX code and compile it.
+If you change DIX,
+you will have to remember what changes you made and will have
+to change the new sources before you can update to the new version.
+</para>
+<para>
+The heart of the DIX code is a loop called the dispatch loop.
+Each time the processor goes around the loop, it sends off accumulated input events
+from the input devices to the clients, and it processes requests from the clients.
+This loop is the most organized way for the server to
+process the asynchronous requests that
+it needs to process.
+Most of these operations are performed by OS and DDX routines that you must supply.

+<section>
+ <title>Server Resource System</title>
+<para>
+X resources are C structs inside the server.
+Client applications create and manipulate these objects
+according to the rules of the X byte stream protocol.
+Client applications refer to resources with resource IDs,
+which are 32-bit integers that are sent over the network.
+Within the server, of course, they are just C structs, and we refer to them
+by pointers.
+</para>
+<section>
+ <title>Pre-Defined Resource Types</title>
+<para>
+The DDX layer has several kinds of resources:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>Window</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Pixmap</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Screen</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Device</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Colormap</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Font</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Cursor</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Graphics Contexts</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+<para>
+The type names of the more
+important server
+structs usually end in "Rec," such as "DeviceRec;"
+the pointer types usually end in "Ptr," such as "DevicePtr."
+</para>
+<para>
+The structs and
+important defined constants are declared
+in .h files that have names that suggest the name of the object.
+For instance, there are two .h files for windows,
+window.h and windowstr.h.
+window.h defines only what needs to be defined in order to use windows
+without peeking inside of them;
+windowstr.h defines the structs with all of their components in great detail
+for those who need it.
+</para>
+<para>
+Three kinds of fields are in these structs:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>Attribute fields - struct fields that contain values like normal structs</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Pointers to procedures, or structures of procedures, that operate on the object</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>A single private field or a devPrivates list (see <xref linkend="wrappers_and_privates"/>)
+used by your DDX code to store private data.</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+<para>
+DIX calls through
+the struct's procedure pointers to do its tasks.
+These procedures are set either directly or indirectly by DDX procedures.
+Most of
+the procedures described in the remainder of this
+document are accessed through one of these structs.
+For example, the procedure to create a pixmap
+is attached to a ScreenRec and might be called by using the expression
+</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>(* pScreen->CreatePixmap)(pScreen, width, height, depth).</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+All procedure pointers must be set to some routine unless noted otherwise;
+a null pointer will have unfortunate consequences.
+</para>
+<para>
+Procedure routines will be indicated in the documentation by this convention:
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>void pScreen->MyScreenRoutine(arg, arg, ...)</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+as opposed to a free routine, not in a data structure:
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>void MyFreeRoutine(arg, arg, ...)</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+The attribute fields are mostly set by DIX; DDX should not modify them
+unless noted otherwise.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Creating Resources and Resource Types</title>
+<para>
+These functions should also be called from your extensionInitProc to
+allocate all of the various resource classes and types required for
+the extension. Each time the server resets, these types must be reallocated
+as the old allocations will have been discarded.
+Resource types are integer values starting at 1. Get
+a resource type by calling
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ RESTYPE CreateNewResourceType(deleteFunc)
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+deleteFunc will be called to destroy all resources with this
+type.</para>
+<para>
+Resource classes are masks starting at 1 << 31 which can
+be or'ed with any resource type to provide attributes for the
+type. To allocate a new class bit, call
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ RESTYPE CreateNewResourceClass()
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+There are two ways of looking up resources, by type or
+by class. Classes are non-exclusive subsets of the space of
+all resources, so you can lookup the union of multiple classes.
+(RC_ANY is the union of all classes).</para>
+<para>
+Note that the appropriate class bits must be or'ed into the value returned
+by CreateNewResourceType when calling resource lookup functions.</para>
+<para>
+If you need to create a ``private'' resource ID for internal use, you
+can call FakeClientID.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ XID FakeClientID(client)
+ int client;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This allocates from ID space reserved for the server.</para>
+<para>
+To associate a resource value with an ID, use AddResource.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool AddResource(id, type, value)
+ XID id;
+ RESTYPE type;
+ pointer value;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+The type should be the full type of the resource, including any class
+bits. If AddResource fails to allocate memory to store the resource,
+it will call the deleteFunc for the type, and then return False.</para>
+<para>
+To free a resource, use one of the following.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void FreeResource(id, skipDeleteFuncType)
+ XID id;
+ RESTYPE skipDeleteFuncType;
+
+ void FreeResourceByType(id, type, skipFree)
+ XID id;
+ RESTYPE type;
+ Bool skipFree;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+FreeResource frees all resources matching the given id, regardless of
+type; the type's deleteFunc will be called on each matching resource,
+except that skipDeleteFuncType can be set to a single type for which
+the deleteFunc should not be called (otherwise pass RT_NONE).
+FreeResourceByType frees a specific resource matching a given id
+and type; if skipFree is true, then the deleteFunc is not called.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Looking Up Resources</title>
+<para>
+To look up a resource, use one of the following.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ pointer LookupIDByType(id, rtype)
+ XID id;
+ RESTYPE rtype;
+
+ pointer LookupIDByClass(id, classes)
+ XID id;
+ RESTYPE classes;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+LookupIDByType finds a resource with the given id and exact type.
+LookupIDByClass finds a resource with the given id whose type is
+included in any one of the specified classes.</para>
+</section>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Callback Manager</title>
+<para>
+To satisfy a growing number of requests for the introduction of ad hoc
+notification style hooks in the server, a generic callback manager was
+introduced in R6. A callback list object can be introduced for each
+new hook that is desired, and other modules in the server can register
+interest in the new callback list. The following functions support
+these operations.</para>
+<para>
+Before getting bogged down in the interface details, an typical usage
+example should establish the framework. Let's look at the
+ClientStateCallback in dix/dispatch.c. The purpose of this particular
+callback is to notify intereseted parties when a client's state
+(initial, running, gone) changes. The callback is "created" in this
+case by simply declaring a variable:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ CallbackListPtr ClientStateCallback;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+Whenever the client's state changes, the following code appears, which notifies
+all intereseted parties of the change:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ if (ClientStateCallback) CallCallbacks(&ClientStateCallback, (pointer)client);
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+Interested parties subscribe to the ClientStateCallback list by saying:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ AddCallback(&ClientStateCallback, func, data);
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+When CallCallbacks is invoked on the list, func will be called thusly:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ (*func)(&ClientStateCallback, data, client)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+Now for the details.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool CreateCallbackList(pcbl, cbfuncs)
+ CallbackListPtr *pcbl;
+ CallbackFuncsPtr cbfuncs;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+CreateCallbackList creates a callback list. We envision that this
+function will be rarely used because the callback list is created
+automatically (if it doesn't already exist) when the first call to
+AddCallback is made on the list. The only reason to explicitly create
+the callback list with this function is if you want to override the
+implementation of some of the other operations on the list by passing
+your own cbfuncs. You also lose something by explicit creation: you
+introduce an order dependency during server startup because the list
+must be created before any modules subscribe to it. Returns TRUE if
+successful.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool AddCallback(pcbl, callback, subscriber_data)
+ CallbackListPtr *pcbl;
+ CallbackProcPtr callback;
+ pointer subscriber_data;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+Adds the (callback, subscriber_data) pair to the given callback list. Creates the callback
+list if it doesn't exist. Returns TRUE if successful.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool DeleteCallback(pcbl, callback, subscriber_data)
+ CallbackListPtr *pcbl;
+ CallbackProcPtr callback;
+ pointer subscriber_data;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+Removes the (callback, data) pair to the given callback list if present.
+Returns TRUE if (callback, data) was found.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void CallCallbacks(pcbl, call_data)
+ CallbackListPtr *pcbl;
+ pointer call_data;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+For each callback currently registered on the given callback list, call
+it as follows:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ (*callback)(pcbl, subscriber_data, call_data);
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ void DeleteCallbackList(pcbl)
+ CallbackListPtr *pcbl;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+Destroys the given callback list.</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Extension Interfaces</title>
+<para>
+This function should be called from your extensionInitProc which
+should be called by InitExtensions.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ ExtensionEntry *AddExtension(name, NumEvents,NumErrors,
+ MainProc, SwappedMainProc, CloseDownProc, MinorOpcodeProc)
+
+ char *name; /*Null terminate string; case matters*/
+ int NumEvents;
+ int NumErrors;
+ int (* MainProc)(ClientPtr);/*Called if client matches server order*/
+ int (* SwappedMainProc)(ClientPtr);/*Called if client differs from server*/
+ void (* CloseDownProc)(ExtensionEntry *);
+ unsigned short (*MinorOpcodeProc)(ClientPtr);
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+name is the name used by clients to refer to the extension. NumEvents is the
+number of event types used by the extension, NumErrors is the number of
+error codes needed by the extension. MainProc is called whenever a client
+accesses the major opcode assigned to the extension. SwappedMainProc is
+identical, except the client using the extension has reversed byte-sex.
+CloseDownProc is called at server reset time to deallocate any private
+storage used by the extension. MinorOpcodeProc is used by DIX to place the
+appropriate value into errors. The DIX routine StandardMinorOpcode can be
+used here which takes the minor opcode from the normal place in the request
+(i.e. just after the major opcode).</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Macros and Other Helpers</title>
+<para>
+There are a number of macros in Xserver/include/dix.h which
+are useful to the extension writer. Ones of particular interest
+are: REQUEST, REQUEST_SIZE_MATCH, REQUEST_AT_LEAST_SIZE,
+REQUEST_FIXED_SIZE, LEGAL_NEW_RESOURCE, LOOKUP_DRAWABLE, VERIFY_GC, and
+VALIDATE_DRAWABLE_AND_GC. Useful byte swapping macros can be found
+in Xserver/include/misc.h: lswapl, lswaps, LengthRestB, LengthRestS,
+LengthRestL, SwapRestS, SwapRestL, swapl, swaps, cpswapl, and cpswaps.</para>

+
+<section>
+ <title>OS Layer</title>
+<para>
+This part of the source consists of a few routines that you have to rewrite
+for each operating system.
+These OS functions maintain the client connections and schedule work
+to be done for clients.
+They also provide an interface to font files,
+font name to file name translation, and
+low level memory management.
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>void OsInit()</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+OsInit initializes your OS code, performing whatever tasks need to be done.
+Frequently there is not much to be done.
+The sample server implementation is in Xserver/os/osinit.c.
+</para>
+<section>
+ <title>Scheduling and Request Delivery</title>
+<para>
+The main dispatch loop in DIX creates the illusion of multitasking between
+different windows, while the server is itself but a single process.
+The dispatch loop breaks up the work for each client into small digestible parts.
+Some parts are requests from a client, such as individual graphic commands.
+Some parts are events delivered to the client, such as keystrokes from the user.
+The processing of events and requests for different
+clients can be interleaved with one another so true multitasking
+is not needed in the server.
+</para>
+<para>
+You must supply some of the pieces for proper scheduling between clients.
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>
+ int WaitForSomething(pClientReady)
+ int *pClientReady;
+</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+WaitForSomething is the scheduler procedure you must write that will
+suspend your server process until something needs to be done.
+This call should
+make the server suspend until one or more of the following occurs:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>There is an input event from the user or hardware (see SetInputCheck())</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>There are requests waiting from known clients, in which case you should return a count of clients stored in pClientReady</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>A new client tries to connect, in which case you should create the client and then continue waiting</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+<para>
+Before WaitForSomething() computes the masks to pass to select, poll or
+similar operating system interface, it needs to
+see if there is anything to do on the work queue; if so, it must call a DIX
+routine called ProcessWorkQueue.
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>
+ extern WorkQueuePtr workQueue;
+
+ if (workQueue)
+ ProcessWorkQueue ();
+</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+If WaitForSomething() decides it is about to do something that might block
+(in the sample server, before it calls select() or poll) it must call a DIX
+routine called BlockHandler().
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>
+ void BlockHandler(pTimeout, pReadmask)
+ pointer pTimeout;
+ pointer pReadmask;
+</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+The types of the arguments are for agreement between the OS and DDX
+implementations, but the pTimeout is a pointer to the information
+determining how long the block is allowed to last, and the
+pReadmask is a pointer to the information describing the descriptors
+that will be waited on.
+</para>
+<para>
+In the sample server, pTimeout is a struct timeval **, and pReadmask is
+the address of the select() mask for reading.
+</para>
+<para>
+The DIX BlockHandler() iterates through the Screens, for each one calling
+its BlockHandler. A BlockHandler is declared thus:
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>
+ void xxxBlockHandler(nscreen, pbdata, pptv, pReadmask)
+ int nscreen;
+ pointer pbdata;
+ struct timeval ** pptv;
+ pointer pReadmask;
+</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+The arguments are the index of the Screen, the blockData field
+of the Screen, and the arguments to the DIX BlockHandler().
+</para>
+<para>
+Immediately after WaitForSomething returns from the
+block, even if it didn't actually block, it must call the DIX routine
+WakeupHandler().
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>
+ void WakeupHandler(result, pReadmask)
+ int result;
+ pointer pReadmask;
+</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+Once again, the types are not specified by DIX. The result is the
+success indicator for the thing that (may have) blocked,
+and the pReadmask is a mask of the descriptors that came active.
+In the sample server, result is the result from select() (or equivalent
+operating system function), and pReadmask is
+the address of the select() mask for reading.
+</para>
+<para>
+The DIX WakeupHandler() calls each Screen's
+WakeupHandler. A WakeupHandler is declared thus:
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>
+ void xxxWakeupHandler(nscreen, pbdata, err, pReadmask)
+ int nscreen;
+ pointer pbdata;
+ unsigned long result;
+ pointer pReadmask;
+</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+The arguments are the index of the Screen, the blockData field
+of the Screen, and the arguments to the DIX WakeupHandler().
+</para>
+<para>
+In addition to the per-screen BlockHandlers, any module may register
+block and wakeup handlers (only together) using:
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>
+ Bool RegisterBlockAndWakeupHandlers (blockHandler, wakeupHandler, blockData)
+ BlockHandlerProcPtr blockHandler;
+ WakeupHandlerProcPtr wakeupHandler;
+ pointer blockData;
+</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+A FALSE return code indicates that the registration failed for lack of
+memory. To remove a registered Block handler at other than server reset time
+(when they are all removed automatically), use:
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>
+ RemoveBlockAndWakeupHandlers (blockHandler, wakeupHandler, blockData)
+ BlockHandlerProcPtr blockHandler;
+ WakeupHandlerProcPtr wakeupHandler;
+ pointer blockData;
+</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+All three arguments must match the values passed to
+RegisterBlockAndWakeupHandlers.
+</para>
+<para>
+These registered block handlers are called after the per-screen handlers:
+<blockquote>
+<programlisting>
+ void (*BlockHandler) (blockData, pptv, pReadmask)
+ pointer blockData;
+ OSTimePtr pptv;
+ pointer pReadmask;
+</programlisting>
+</blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+Sometimes block handlers need to adjust the time in a OSTimePtr structure,
+which on UNIX family systems is generally represented by a struct timeval
+consisting of seconds and microseconds in 32 bit values.
+As a convenience to reduce error prone struct timeval computations which
+require modulus arithmetic and correct overflow behavior in the face of
+millisecond wrapping throrugh 32 bits,
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void AdjustWaitForDelay(pointer /*waitTime*, unsigned long /* newdelay */)
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+has been provided.
+</para>
+<para>
+Any wakeup handlers registered with RegisterBlockAndWakeupHandlers will
+be called before the Screen handlers:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void (*WakeupHandler) (blockData, err, pReadmask)
+ pointer blockData;
+ int err;
+ pointer pReadmask;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+The WaitForSomething on the sample server also has a built
+in screen saver that darkens the screen if no input happens for a period of time.
+The sample server implementation is in Xserver/os/WaitFor.c.
+</para>
+<para>
+Note that WaitForSomething() may be called when you already have several
+outstanding things (events, requests, or new clients) queued up.
+For instance, your server may have just done a large graphics request,
+and it may have been a long time since WaitForSomething() was last called.
+If many clients have lots of requests queued up, DIX will only service
+some of them for a given client
+before going on to the next client (see isItTimeToYield, below).
+Therefore, WaitForSomething() will have to report that these same clients
+still have requests queued up the next time around.
+</para>
+<para>
+An implementation should return information on as
+many outstanding things as it can.
+For instance, if your implementation always checks for client data first and does not
+report any input events until there is no client data left,
+your mouse and keyboard might get locked out by an application that constantly
+barrages the server with graphics drawing requests.
+Therefore, as a general rule, input devices should always have priority over graphics
+devices.
+</para>
+<para>
+A list of indexes (client->index) for clients with data ready to be read or
+processed should be returned in pClientReady, and the count of indexes
+returned as the result value of the call.
+These are not clients that have full requests ready, but any clients who have
+any data ready to be read or processed.
+The DIX dispatcher
+will process requests from each client in turn by calling
+ReadRequestFromClient(), below.
+</para>
+<para>
+WaitForSomething() must create new clients as they are requested (by
+whatever mechanism at the transport level). A new client is created
+by calling the DIX routine:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ ClientPtr NextAvailableClient(ospriv)
+ pointer ospriv;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This routine returns NULL if a new client cannot be allocated (e.g. maximum
+number of clients reached). The ospriv argument will be stored into the OS
+private field (pClient->osPrivate), to store OS private information about the
+client. In the sample server, the osPrivate field contains the
+number of the socket for this client. See also "New Client Connections."
+NextAvailableClient() will call InsertFakeRequest(), so you must be
+prepared for this.
+</para>
+<para>
+If there are outstanding input events,
+you should make sure that the two SetInputCheck() locations are unequal.
+The DIX dispatcher will call your implementation of ProcessInputEvents()
+until the SetInputCheck() locations are equal.
+</para>
+<para>
+The sample server contains an implementation of WaitForSomething().
+The
+following two routines indicate to WaitForSomething() what devices should
+be waited for. fd is an OS dependent type; in the sample server
+it is an open file descriptor.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ int AddEnabledDevice(fd)
+ int fd;
+
+ int RemoveEnabledDevice(fd)
+ int fd;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+These two routines are
+usually called by DDX from the initialize cases of the
+Input Procedures that are stored in the DeviceRec (the
+routine passed to AddInputDevice()).
+The sample server implementation of AddEnabledDevice
+and RemoveEnabledDevice are in Xserver/os/connection.c.
+</para>
+<section>
+ <title>Timer Facilities</title>
+<para>
+Similarly, the X server or an extension may need to wait for some timeout.
+Early X releases implemented this functionality using block and wakeup handlers,
+but this has been rewritten to use a general timer facilty, and the
+internal screen saver facilties reimplemented to use Timers.
+These functions are TimerInit, TimerForce, TimerSet, TimerCheck, TimerCancel,
+and TimerFree, as defined in Xserver/include/os.h. A callback function will be called
+when the timer fires, along with the current time, and a user provided argument.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ typedef struct _OsTimerRec *OsTimerPtr;
+
+ typedef CARD32 (*OsTimerCallback)(
+ OsTimerPtr /* timer */,
+ CARD32 /* time */,
+ pointer /* arg */);
+
+ OsTimerPtr TimerSet( OsTimerPtr /* timer */,
+ int /* flags */,
+ CARD32 /* millis */,
+ OsTimerCallback /* func */,
+ pointer /* arg */);
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+TimerSet returns a pointer to a timer structure and sets a timer to the specified time
+with the specified argument. The flags can be TimerAbsolute and TimerForceOld.
+The TimerSetOld flag controls whether if the timer is reset and the timer is pending, the
+whether the callback function will get called.
+The TimerAbsolute flag sets the callback time to an absolute time in the future rather
+than a time relative to when TimerSet is called.
+TimerFree should be called to free the memory allocated
+for the timer entry.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ void TimerInit(void)
+
+ Bool TimerForce(OsTimerPtr /* pTimer */)
+
+ void TimerCheck(void);
+
+ void TimerCancel(OsTimerPtr /* pTimer */)
+
+ void TimerFree(OSTimerPtr /* pTimer */)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+TimerInit frees any exisiting timer entries. TimerForce forces a call to the timer's
+callback function and returns true if the timer entry existed, else it returns false and
+does not call the callback function. TimerCancel will cancel the specified timer.
+TimerFree calls TimerCancel and frees the specified timer.
+Calling TimerCheck will force the server to see if any timer callbacks should be called.
+</para>

+<section>
+ <title>New Client Connections</title>
+<para>
+The process whereby a new client-server connection starts up is
+very dependent upon what your byte stream mechanism.
+This section describes byte stream initiation using examples from the TCP/IP
+implementation on the sample server.
+</para>
+<para>
+The first thing that happens is a client initiates a connection with the server.
+How a client knows to do this depends upon your network facilities and the
+Xlib implementation.
+In a typical scenario, a user named Fred
+on his X workstation is logged onto a Cray
+supercomputer running a command shell in an X window. Fred can type shell
+commands and have the Cray respond as though the X server were a dumb terminal.
+Fred types in a command to run an X client application that was linked with Xlib.
+Xlib looks at the shell environment variable DISPLAY, which has the
+value "fredsbittube:0.0."
+The host name of Fred's workstation is "fredsbittube," and the 0s are
+for multiple screens and multiple X server processes.
+(Precisely what
+happens on your system depends upon how X and Xlib are implemented.)
+</para>
+<para>
+The client application calls a TCP routine on the
+Cray to open a TCP connection for X
+to communicate with the network node "fredsbittube."
+The TCP software on the Cray does this by looking up the TCP
+address of "fredsbittube" and sending an open request to TCP port 6000
+on fredsbittube.
+</para>
+<para>
+All X servers on TCP listen for new clients on port 6000 by default;
+this is known as a "well-known port" in IP terminology.
+</para>
+<para>
+The server receives this request from its port 6000
+and checks where it came from to see if it is on the server's list
+of "trustworthy" hosts to talk to.
+Then, it opens another port for communications with the client.
+This is the byte stream that all X communications will go over.
+</para>
+<para>
+Actually, it is a bit more complicated than that.
+Each X server process running on the host machine is called a "display."
+Each display can have more than one screen that it manages.
+"corporatehydra:3.2" represents screen 2 on display 3 on
+the multi-screened network node corporatehydra.
+The open request would be sent on well-known port number 6003.
+</para>
+<para>
+Once the byte stream is set up, what goes on does not depend very much
+upon whether or not it is TCP.
+The client sends an xConnClientPrefix struct (see Xproto.h) that has the
+version numbers for the version of Xlib it is running, some byte-ordering information,
+and two character strings used for authorization.
+If the server does not like the authorization strings
+or the version numbers do not match within the rules,
+or if anything else is wrong, it sends a failure
+response with a reason string.
+</para>
+<para>
+If the information never comes, or comes much too slowly, the connection
+should be broken off. You must implement the connection timeout. The
+sample server implements this by keeping a timestamp for each still-connecting
+client and, each time just before it attempts to accept new connections, it
+closes any connection that are too old.
+The connection timeout can be set from the command line.

+<para>
+You must implement whatever authorization schemes you want to support.
+The sample server on the distribution tape supports a simple authorization
+scheme. The only interface seen by DIX is:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ char *
+ ClientAuthorized(client, proto_n, auth_proto, string_n, auth_string)
+ ClientPtr client;
+ unsigned int proto_n;
+ char *auth_proto;
+ unsigned int string_n;
+ char *auth_string;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+DIX will only call this once per client, once it has read the full initial
+connection data from the client. If the connection should be
+accepted ClientAuthorized() should return NULL, and otherwise should
+return an error message string.
+</para>
+<para>
+Accepting new connections happens internally to WaitForSomething().
+WaitForSomething() must call the DIX routine NextAvailableClient()
+to create a client object.
+Processing of the initial connection data will be handled by DIX.
+Your OS layer must be able to map from a client
+to whatever information your OS code needs to communicate
+on the given byte stream to the client.
+DIX uses this ClientPtr to refer to
+the client from now on. The sample server uses the osPrivate field in
+the ClientPtr to store the file descriptor for the socket, the
+input and output buffers, and authorization information.
+</para>
+<para>
+To initialize the methods you choose to allow clients to connect to
+your server, main() calls the routine
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void CreateWellKnownSockets()
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This routine is called only once, and not called when the server
+is reset. To recreate any sockets during server resets, the following
+routine is called from the main loop:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void ResetWellKnownSockets()
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+Sample implementations of both of these routines are found in
+Xserver/os/connection.c.

+<section>
+ <title>Reading Data from Clients</title>
+<para>
+Requests from the client are read in as a byte stream by the OS layer.
+They may be in the form of several blocks of bytes delivered in sequence; requests may
+be broken up over block boundaries or there may be many requests per block.
+Each request carries with it length information.
+It is the responsibility of the following routine to break it up into request blocks.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ int ReadRequestFromClient(who)
+ ClientPtr who;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+You must write
+the routine ReadRequestFromClient() to get one request from the byte stream
+belonging to client "who."
+You must swap the third and fourth bytes (the second 16-bit word) according to the
+byte-swap rules of
+the protocol to determine the length of the
+request.
+This length is measured in 32-bit words, not in bytes. Therefore, the
+theoretical maximum request is 256K.
+(However, the maximum length allowed is dependent upon the server's input
+buffer. This size is sent to the client upon connection. The maximum
+size is the constant MAX_REQUEST_SIZE in Xserver/include/os.h)
+The rest of the request you return is
+assumed NOT to be correctly swapped for internal
+use, because that is the responsibility of DIX.
+</para>
+<para>
+The 'who' argument is the ClientPtr returned from WaitForSomething.
+The return value indicating status should be set to the (positive) byte count if the read is successful,
+0 if the read was blocked, or a negative error code if an error happened.
+</para>
+<para>
+You must then store a pointer to
+the bytes of the request in the client request buffer field;
+who->requestBuffer. This can simply be a pointer into your buffer;
+DIX may modify it in place but will not otherwise cause damage.
+Of course, the request must be contiguous; you must
+shuffle it around in your buffers if not.
+</para>
+<para>
+The sample server implementation is in Xserver/os/io.c.
+</para>
+<section><title>Inserting Data for Clients</title>
+<para>
+DIX can insert data into the client stream, and can cause a "replay" of
+the current request.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool InsertFakeRequest(client, data, count)
+ ClientPtr client;
+ char *data;
+ int count;
+
+ int ResetCurrentRequest(client)
+ ClientPtr client;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+InsertFakeRequest() must insert the specified number of bytes of data
+into the head of the input buffer for the client. This may be a
+complete request, or it might be a partial request. For example,
+NextAvailableCient() will insert a partial request in order to read
+the initial connection data sent by the client. The routine returns FALSE
+if memory could not be allocated. ResetCurrentRequest()
+should "back up" the input buffer so that the currently executing request
+will be reexecuted. DIX may have altered some values (e.g. the overall
+request length), so you must recheck to see if you still have a complete
+request. ResetCurrentRequest() should always cause a yield (isItTimeToYield).
+</para>

+ <title>Sending Events, Errors And Replies To Clients</title>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ int WriteToClient(who, n, buf)
+ ClientPtr who;
+ int n;
+ char *buf;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+WriteToClient should write n bytes starting at buf to the
+ClientPtr "who".
+It returns the number of bytes written, but for simplicity,
+the number returned must be either the same value as the number
+requested, or -1, signaling an error.
+The sample server implementation is in Xserver/os/io.c.
+</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ void SendErrorToClient(client, majorCode, minorCode, resId, errorCode)
+ ClientPtr client;
+ unsigned int majorCode;
+ unsigned int minorCode;
+ XID resId;
+ int errorCode;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+SendErrorToClient can be used to send errors back to clients,
+although in most cases your request function should simply return
+the error code, having set client->errorValue to the appropriate
+error value to return to the client, and DIX will call this
+function with the correct opcodes for you.
+</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void FlushAllOutput()
+
+ void FlushIfCriticalOutputPending()
+
+ void SetCriticalOutputPending()
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+These three routines may be implemented to support buffered or delayed
+writes to clients, but at the very least, the stubs must exist.
+FlushAllOutput() unconditionally flushes all output to clients;
+FlushIfCriticalOutputPending() flushes output only if
+SetCriticalOutputPending() has be called since the last time output
+was flushed.
+The sample server implementation is in Xserver/os/io.c and
+actually ignores requests to flush output on a per-client basis
+if it knows that there
+are requests in that client's input queue.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Font Support</title>
+<para>
+In the sample server, fonts are encoded in disk files or fetched from the
+font server.
+For disk fonts, there is one file per font, with a file name like
+"fixed.pcf". Font server fonts are read over the network using the
+X Font Server Protocol. The disk directories containing disk fonts and
+the names of the font servers are listed together in the current "font path."
+</para>
+<para>
+In principle, you can put all your fonts in ROM or in RAM in your server.
+You can put them all in one library file on disk.
+You could generate them on the fly from stroke descriptions. By placing the
+appropriate code in the Font Library, you will automatically export fonts in
+that format both through the X server and the Font server.
+</para>
+<para>
+With the incorporation of font-server based fonts and the Speedo donation
+from Bitstream, the font interfaces have been moved into a separate
+library, now called the Font Library (../fonts/lib). These routines are
+shared between the X server and the Font server, so instead of this document
+specifying what you must implement, simply refer to the font
+library interface specification for the details. All of the interface code to the Font
+library is contained in dix/dixfonts.c
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Memory Management</title>
+<para>
+Memory management is based on functions in the C runtime library.
+Xalloc(), Xrealloc(), and Xfree() work just like malloc(), realloc(),
+and free(), except that you can pass a null pointer to Xrealloc() to
+have it allocate anew or pass a null pointer to Xfree() and nothing
+will happen. The versions in the sample server also do some checking
+that is useful for debugging. Consult a C runtime library reference
+manual for more details.
+</para>
+<para>
+The macros ALLOCATE_LOCAL and DEALLOCATE_LOCAL are provided in
+Xserver/include/os.h. These are useful if your compiler supports
+alloca() (or some method of allocating memory from the stack); and are
+defined appropriately on systems which support it.
+</para>
+<para>
+Treat memory allocation carefully in your implementation. Memory
+leaks can be very hard to find and are frustrating to a user. An X
+server could be running for days or weeks without being reset, just
+like a regular terminal. If you leak a few dozen k per day, that will
+add up and will cause problems for users that leave their workstations
+on.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Client Scheduling</title>
+<para>
+The X server
+has the ability to schedule clients much like an operating system would,
+suspending and restarting them without regard for the state of their input
+buffers. This functionality allows the X server to suspend one client and
+continue processing requests from other clients while waiting for a
+long-term network activity (like loading a font) before continuing with the
+first client.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ Bool isItTimeToYield;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+isItTimeToYield is a global variable you can set
+if you want to tell
+DIX to end the client's "time slice" and start paying attention to the next client.
+After the current request is finished, DIX will move to the next client.
+</para>
+<para>
+In the sample
+server, ReadRequestFromClient() sets isItTimeToYield after
+10 requests packets in a row are read from the same client.
+</para>
+<para>
+This scheduling algorithm can have a serious effect upon performance when two
+clients are drawing into their windows simultaneously.
+If it allows one client to run until its request
+queue is empty by ignoring isItTimeToYield, the client's queue may
+in fact never empty and other clients will be blocked out.
+On the other hand, if it switchs between different clients too quickly,
+performance may suffer due to too much switching between contexts.
+For example, if a graphics processor needs to be set up with drawing modes
+before drawing, and two different clients are drawing with
+different modes into two different windows, you may
+switch your graphics processor modes so often that performance is impacted.
+</para>
+<para>
+See the Strategies document for
+heuristics on setting isItTimeToYield.
+</para>
+<para>
+The following functions provide the ability to suspend request
+processing on a particular client, resuming it at some later time:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ int IgnoreClient (who)
+ ClientPtr who;
+
+ int AttendClient (who)
+ ClientPtr who;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+Ignore client is responsible for pretending that the given client doesn't
+exist. WaitForSomething should not return this client as ready for reading
+and should not return if only this client is ready. AttendClient undoes
+whatever IgnoreClient did, setting it up for input again.
+</para>
+<para>
+Three functions support "process control" for X clients:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool ClientSleep (client, function, closure)
+ ClientPtr client;
+ Bool (*function)();
+ pointer closure;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This suspends the current client (the calling routine is responsible for
+making its way back to Dispatch()). No more X requests will be processed
+for this client until ClientWakeup is called.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool ClientSignal (client)
+ ClientPtr client;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This function causes a call to the (*function) parameter passed to
+ClientSleep to be queued on the work queue. This does not automatically
+"wakeup" the client, but the function called is free to do so by calling:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ ClientWakeup (client)
+ ClientPtr client;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This re-enables X request processing for the specified client.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Other OS Functions</title>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ void
+ ErrorF(char *f, ...)
+
+ void
+ FatalError(char *f, ...)
+
+ void
+ Error(str)
+ char *str;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+You should write these three routines to provide for diagnostic output
+from the dix and ddx layers, although implementing them to produce no
+output will not affect the correctness of your server. ErrorF() and
+FatalError() take a printf() type of format specification in the first
+argument and an implementation-dependent number of arguments following
+that. Normally, the formats passed to ErrorF() and FatalError()
+should be terminated with a newline. Error() provides an os interface
+for printing out the string passed as an argument followed by a
+meaningful explanation of the last system error. Normally the string
+does not contain a newline, and it is only called by the ddx layer.
+In the sample implementation, Error() uses the perror() function.
+</para>
+<para>
+After printing the message arguments, FatalError() must be implemented
+such that the server will call AbortDDX() to give the ddx layer
+a chance to reset the hardware, and then
+terminate the server; it must not return.
+</para>
+<para>
+The sample server implementation for these routines
+is in Xserver/os/util.c.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Idiom Support</title>
+<para>
+The DBE specification introduces the notion of idioms, which are
+groups of X requests which can be executed more efficiently when taken
+as a whole compared to being performed individually and sequentially.
+This following server internal support to allows DBE
+implementations, as well as other parts of the server,
+to do idiom processing.
+</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ xReqPtr PeekNextRequest(xReqPtr req, ClientPtr client, Bool readmore)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+If req is NULL, the return value will be a pointer to the start of the
+complete request that follows the one currently being executed for the
+client. If req is not NULL, the function assumes that req is a
+pointer to a request in the client's request buffer, and the return
+value will be a pointer to the the start of the complete request that
+follows req. If the complete request is not available, the function
+returns NULL; pointers to partial requests will never be returned. If
+(and only if) readmore is TRUE, PeekNextRequest should try to read an
+additional request from the client if one is not already available in
+the client's request buffer. If PeekNextRequest reads more data into
+the request buffer, it should not move or change the existing data.
+</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void SkipRequests(xReqPtr req, ClientPtr client, int numskipped)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+The requests for the client up to and including the one specified by
+req will be skipped. numskipped must be the number of requests being
+skipped. Normal request processing will resume with the request that
+follows req. The caller must not have modified the contents of the
+request buffer in any way (e.g., by doing byte swapping in place).
+</para>
+<para>
+Additionally, two macros in os.h operate on the xReq
+pointer returned by PeekNextRequest:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ int ReqLen(xReqPtr req, ClientPtr client)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+The value of ReqLen is the request length in bytes of the given xReq.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ otherReqTypePtr CastxReq(xReq *req, otherReqTypePtr)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+The value of CastxReq is the conversion of the given request pointer
+to an otherReqTypePtr (which should be a pointer to a protocol
+structure type). Only those fields which come after the length field
+of otherReqType may be accessed via the returned pointer.
+</para>
+<para>
+Thus the first two fields of a request, reqType and data, can be
+accessed directly using the xReq * returned by PeekNextRequest. The
+next field, the length, can be accessed with ReqLen. Fields beyond
+that can be accessed with CastxReq. This complexity was necessary
+because of the reencoding of core protocol that can happen due to the
+BigRequests extension.

+ <title>DDX Layer</title>
+<para>
+This section describes the
+interface between DIX and DDX.
+While there may be an OS-dependent driver interface between DDX
+and the physical device, that interface is left to the DDX
+implementor and is not specified here.
+</para>
+<para>
+The DDX layer does most of its work through procedures that are
+pointed to by different structs.
+As previously described, the behavior of these resources is largely determined by
+these procedure pointers.
+Most of these routines are for graphic display on the screen or support functions thereof.
+The rest are for user input from input devices.
+</para>
+<section>
+ <title>Input</title>
+<para>
+In this document "input" refers to input from the user,
+such as mouse, keyboard, and
+bar code readers.
+X input devices are of several types: keyboard, pointing device, and
+many others. The core server has support for extension devices as
+described by the X Input Extension document; the interfaces used by
+that extension are described elsewhere. The core devices are actually
+implemented as two collections of devices, the mouse is a ButtonDevice,
+a ValuatorDevice and a PtrFeedbackDevice while the keyboard is a KeyDevice,
+a FocusDevice and a KbdFeedbackDevice. Each part implements a portion of
+the functionality of the device. This abstraction is hidden from view for
+core devices by DIX.
+</para>
+<para>
+You, the DDX programmer, are
+responsible for some of the routines in this section.
+Others are DIX routines that you should call to do the things you need to do in these DDX routines.
+Pay attention to which is which.
+</para>
+<section>
+ <title>Input Device Data Structures</title>
+<para>
+DIX keeps a global directory of devices in a central data structure
+called InputInfo.
+For each device there is a device structure called a DeviceRec.
+DIX can locate any DeviceRec through InputInfo.
+In addition, it has a special pointer to identify the main pointing device
+and a special pointer to identify the main keyboard.
+</para>
+<para>
+The DeviceRec (Xserver/include/input.h) is a device-independent
+structure that contains the state of an input device.
+A DevicePtr is simply a pointer to a DeviceRec.
+</para>
+<para>
+An xEvent describes an event the server reports to a client.
+Defined in Xproto.h, it is a huge struct of union of structs that have fields for
+all kinds of events.
+All of the variants overlap, so that the struct is actually very small in memory.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Processing Events</title>
+<para>
+The main DDX input interface is the following routine:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void ProcessInputEvents()
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+You must write this routine to deliver input events from the user.
+DIX calls it when input is pending (see next section), and possibly
+even when it is not.
+You should write it to get events from each device and deliver
+the events to DIX.
+To deliver the events to DIX, DDX should call the following
+routine:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void DevicePtr->processInputProc(pEvent, device, count)
+ xEventPtr events;
+ DeviceIntPtr device;
+ int count;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This is the "input proc" for the device, a DIX procedure.
+DIX will fill in this procedure pointer to one of its own routines by
+the time ProcessInputEvents() is called the first time.
+Call this input proc routine as many times as needed to
+deliver as many events as should be delivered.
+DIX will buffer them up and send them out as needed. Count is set
+to the number of event records which make up one atomic device event and
+is always 1 for the core devices (see the X Input Extension for descriptions
+of devices which may use count > 1).
+</para>
+<para>
+For example, your ProcessInputEvents() routine might check the mouse and the
+keyboard.
+If the keyboard had several keystrokes queued up, it could just call
+the keyboard's processInputProc as many times as needed to flush its internal queue.
+</para>
+<para>
+event is an xEvent struct you pass to the input proc.
+When the input proc returns, it is finished with the event rec, and you can fill
+in new values and call the input proc again with it.
+</para>
+<para>
+You should deliver the events in the same order that they were generated.
+</para>
+<para>
+For keyboard and pointing devices the xEvent variant should be keyButtonPointer.
+Fill in the following fields in the xEvent record:
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem><para>type - is one of the following: KeyPress, KeyRelease, ButtonPress,
+ ButtonRelease, or MotionNotify</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>detail - for KeyPress or KeyRelease fields, this should be the
+ key number (not the ASCII code); otherwise unused</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>time - is the time that the event happened (32-bits, in milliseconds, arbitrary origin)</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>rootX - is the x coordinate of cursor</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>rootY - is the y coordinate of cursor</para></listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+The rest of the fields are filled in by DIX.
+</para>
+<para>
+The time stamp is maintained by your code in the DDX layer, and it is your responsibility to
+stamp all events correctly.
+</para>
+<para>
+The x and y coordinates of the pointing device and the time must be filled in for all event types
+including keyboard events.
+</para>
+<para>
+The pointing device must report all button press and release events.
+In addition, it should report a MotionNotify event every time it gets called
+if the pointing device has moved since the last notify.
+Intermediate pointing device moves are stored in a special GetMotionEvents buffer,
+because most client programs are not interested in them.
+</para>
+<para>
+There are quite a collection of sample implementations of this routine,
+one for each supported device.

+<section>
+<title>Telling DIX When Input is Pending</title>
+<para>
+In the server's dispatch loop, DIX checks to see
+if there is any device input pending whenever WaitForSomething() returns.
+If the check says that input is pending, DIX calls the
+DDX routine ProcessInputEvents().
+</para>
+<para>
+This check for pending input must be very quick; a procedure call
+is too slow.
+The code that does the check is a hardwired IF
+statement in DIX code that simply compares the values
+pointed to by two pointers.
+If the values are different, then it assumes that input is pending and
+ProcessInputEvents() is called by DIX.
+</para>
+<para>
+You must pass pointers to DIX to tell it what values to compare.
+The following procedure
+is used to set these pointers:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void SetInputCheck(p1, p2)
+ long *p1, *p2;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+You should call it sometime during initialization to indicate to DIX the
+correct locations to check.
+You should
+pay special attention to the size of what they actually point to,
+because the locations are assumed to be longs.
+</para>
+<para>
+These two pointers are initialized by DIX
+to point to arbitrary values that
+are different.
+In other words, if you forget to call this routine during initialization,
+the worst thing that will happen is that
+ProcessInputEvents will be called when
+there are no events to process.
+</para>
+<para>
+p1 and p2 might
+point at the head and tail of some shared
+memory queue.
+Another use would be to have one point at a constant 0, with the
+other pointing at some mask containing 1s
+for each input device that has
+something pending.
+</para>
+<para>
+The DDX layer of the sample server calls SetInputCheck()
+once when the
+server's private internal queue is initialized.
+It passes pointers to the queue's head and tail. See Xserver/mi/mieq.c.
+</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ int TimeSinceLastInputEvent()
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+DDX must time stamp all hardware input
+events. But DIX sometimes needs to know the
+time and the OS layer needs to know the time since the last hardware
+input event in
+order for the screen saver to work. TimeSinceLastInputEvent() returns
+the this time in milliseconds.
+</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Controlling Input Devices</title>
+<para>
+You must write four routines to do various device-specific
+things with the keyboard and pointing device.
+They can have any name you wish because
+you pass the procedure pointers to DIX routines.
+</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+

+ DeviceIntPtr pdevice;
+ xTimecoord * coords;
+ unsigned long start;
+ unsigned long stop;
+ ScreenPtr pScreen;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+You write this DDX routine to fill in coords with all the motion
+events that have times (32-bit count of milliseconds) between time
+start and time stop. It should return the number of motion events
+returned. If there is no motion events support, this routine should
+do nothing and return zero. The maximum number of coords to return is
+set in InitPointerDeviceStruct(), below.
+</para>
+<para>
+When the user drags the pointing device, the cursor position
+theoretically sweeps through an infinite number of points. Normally,
+a client that is concerned with points other than the starting and
+ending points will receive a pointer-move event only as often as the
+server generates them. (Move events do not queue up; each new one
+replaces the last in the queue.) A server, if desired, can implement
+a scheme to save these intermediate events in a motion buffer. A
+client application, like a paint program, may then request that these
+events be delivered to it through the GetMotionProc routine.
+</para>

+
+ void pInternalDevice->bell->BellProc(percent, pDevice, ctrl, unknown)
+ int percent;
+ DeviceIntPtr pDevice;
+ pointer ctrl;

+</programlisting></blockquote>
+You need to write this routine to ring the bell on the keyboard.
+loud is a number from 0 to 100, with 100 being the loudest.
+Class is either BellFeedbackClass or KbdFeedbackClass (from XI.h).
+</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pInternalDevice->somedevice->CtrlProc(device, ctrl)
+ DevicePtr device;
+ SomethingCtrl *ctrl;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+You write two versions of this procedure, one for the keyboard and one for the pointing device.
+DIX calls it to inform DDX when a client has requested changes in the current
+settings for the particular device.
+For a keyboard, this might be the repeat threshold and rate.
+For a pointing device, this might be a scaling factor (coarse or fine) for position reporting.
+See input.h for the ctrl structures.

+<section>
+ <title>Input Initialization</title>
+<para>
+Input initialization is a bit complicated.
+It all starts with InitInput(), a routine that you write to call
+AddInputDevice() twice
+(once for pointing device and once for keyboard.)
+You also want to call RegisterKeyboardDevice() and RegisterPointerDevice()
+on them.
+</para>
+<para>
+When you Add the devices, a routine you supply for each device
+gets called to initialize them.

+The only requirement on screens is that you be able to both read

+All screens must have a depth of 32 or less (unless you use
+an X extension to allow a greater depth).
+All screens must fit into one of the classes listed in the section
+in this document on Visuals and Depths.
+</para>
+<para>
+X uses the pixel as its fundamental unit of distance on the screen.
+Therefore, most programs will measure everything in pixels.</para>
+<para>
+The sample server assumes square pixels.
+Serious WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) applications for
+publishing and drawing programs will adjust for

+<section>
+ <title>Data Structures</title>
+<para>
+X supports multiple screens that are connected to the same
+server. Therefore, all the per-screen information is bundled into one data
+structure of attributes and procedures, which is the ScreenRec (see
+Xserver/include/scrnintstr.h).
+The procedure entry points in a ScreenRec operate on
+regions, colormaps, cursors, and fonts, because these resources
+can differ in format from one screen to another.</para>
+<para>
+Windows are areas on the screen that can be drawn into by graphic
+routines. "Pixmaps" are off-screen graphic areas that can be drawn
+into. They are both considered drawables and are described in the
+section on Drawables. All graphic operations work on drawables, and
+operations are available to copy patches from one drawable to another.</para>
+<para>
+The pixel image data in all drawables is in a format that is private
+to DDX. In fact, each instance of a drawable is associated with a
+given screen. Presumably, the pixel image data for pixmaps is chosen
+to be conveniently understood by the hardware. All screens in a
+single server must be able to handle all pixmaps depths declared in
+the connection setup information.</para>
+<para>
+Pixmap images are transferred to the server in one of two ways:
+XYPixmap or ZPimap. XYPixmaps are a series of bitmaps, one for each
+bit plane of the image, using the bitmap padding rules from the
+connection setup. ZPixmaps are a series of bits, nibbles, bytes or
+words, one for each pixel, using the format rules (padding and so on)
+for the appropriate depth.</para>
+<para>
+All screens in a given server must agree on a set of pixmap image
+formats (PixmapFormat) to support (depth, number of bits per pixel,
+etc.).</para>
+<para>
+There is no color interpretation of bits in the pixmap. Pixmaps
+do not contain pixel values. The interpretation is made only when
+the bits are transferred onto the screen.</para>
+<para>
+The screenInfo structure (in scrnintstr.h) is a global data structure
+that has a pointer to an array of ScreenRecs, one for each screen on
+the server. (These constitute the one and only description of each
+screen in the server.) Each screen has an identifying index (0, 1, 2, ...).
+In addition, the screenInfo struct contains global server-wide
+details, such as the bit- and byte- order in all bit images, and the
+list of pixmap image formats that are supported. The X protocol
+insists that these must be the same for all screens on the server.</para>

+<blockquote><programlisting>
+

+Upon initialization, your DDX routine InitOutput() is called by DIX.
+It is passed a pointer to screenInfo to initialize. It is also passed
+the argc and argv from main() for your server for the command-line
+arguments. These arguments may indicate what or how many screen
+device(s) to use or in what way to use them. For instance, your
+server command line may allow a "-D" flag followed by the name of the
+screen device to use.</para>
+<para>
+Your InitOutput() routine should initialize each screen you wish to
+use by calling AddScreen(), and then it should initialize the pixmap
+formats that you support by storing values directly into the
+screenInfo data structure. You should also set certain
+implementation-dependent numbers and procedures in your screenInfo,
+which determines the pixmap and scanline padding rules for all screens
+in the server.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ int AddScreen(scrInitProc, argc, argv)
+ Bool (*scrInitProc)();
+ int argc;
+ char **argv;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+You should call AddScreen(), a DIX procedure, in InitOutput() once for
+each screen to add it to the screenInfo database. The first argument
+is an initialization procedure for the screen that you supply. The
+second and third are the argc and argv from main(). It returns the
+screen number of the screen installed, or -1 if there is either
+insufficient memory to add the screen, or (*scrInitProc) returned
+FALSE.</para>
+<para>
+The scrInitProc should be of the following form:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool scrInitProc(iScreen, pScreen, argc, argv)
+ int iScreen;
+ ScreenPtr pScreen;
+ int argc;
+ char **argv;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+iScreen is the index for this screen; 0 for the first one initialized,
+1 for the second, etc. pScreen is the pointer to the screen's new
+ScreenRec. argc and argv are as before. Your screen initialize
+procedure should return TRUE upon success or FALSE if the screen
+cannot be initialized (for instance, if the screen hardware does not
+exist on this machine).</para>
+<para>
+This procedure must determine what actual device it is supposed to initialize.
+If you have a different procedure for each screen, then it is no problem.
+If you have the same procedure for multiple screens, it may have trouble
+figuring out which screen to initialize each time around, especially if
+InitOutput() does not initialize all of the screens.
+It is probably easiest to have one procedure for each screen.</para>
+<para>
+The initialization procedure should fill in all the screen procedures
+for that screen (windowing functions, region functions, etc.) and certain
+screen attributes for that screen.</para>

+<section>
+ <title>Region Routines in the ScreenRec</title>
+<para>
+A region is a dynamically allocated data structure that describes an
+irregularly shaped piece of real estate in XY pixel space. You can
+think of it as a set of pixels on the screen to be operated upon with
+set operations such as AND and OR.</para>
+<para>
+A region is frequently implemented as a list of rectangles or bitmaps
+that enclose the selected pixels. Region operators control the
+"clipping policy," or the operations that work on regions. (The
+sample server uses YX-banded rectangles. Unless you have something
+already implemented for your graphics system, you should keep that
+implementation.) The procedure pointers to the region operators are
+located in the ScreenRec data structure. The definition of a region
+can be found in the file Xserver/include/regionstr.h. The region code
+is found in Xserver/mi/miregion.c. DDX implementations using other
+region formats will need to supply different versions of the region
+operators.</para>
+<para>
+Since the list of rectangles is unbounded in size, part of the region
+data structure is usually a large, dynamically allocated chunk of
+memory. As your region operators calculate logical combinations of
+regions, these blocks may need to be reallocated by your region
+software. For instance, in the sample server, a RegionRec has some
+header information and a pointer to a dynamically allocated rectangle
+list. Periodically, the rectangle list needs to be expanded with
+Xrealloc(), whereupon the new pointer is remembered in the RegionRec.</para>
+<para>
+Most of the region operations come in two forms: a function pointer in
+the Screen structure, and a macro. The server can be compiled so that
+the macros make direct calls to the appropriate functions (instead of
+indirecting through a screen function pointer), or it can be compiled
+so that the macros are identical to the function pointer forms.
+Making direct calls is faster on many architectures.</para>

+RegionCreate creates a region that describes ONE rectangle. The
+caller can avoid unnecessary reallocation and copying by declaring the
+probable maximum number of rectangles that this region will need to
+describe itself. Your region routines, though, cannot fail just
+because the region grows beyond this size. The caller of this routine
+can pass almost anything as the size; the value is merely a good guess
+as to the maximum size until it is proven wrong by subsequent use.
+Your region procedures are then on their own in estimating how big the

+ <title>Cursor Routines for a Screen</title>
+<para>
+A cursor is the visual form tied to the pointing device. The default
+cursor is an "X" shape, but the cursor can have any shape. When a
+client creates a window, it declares what shape the cursor will be
+when it strays into that window on the screen.</para>
+<para>
+For each possible shape the cursor assumes, there is a CursorRec data
+structure. This data structure contains a pointer to a CursorBits
+data structure which contains a bitmap for the image of the cursor and
+a bitmap for a mask behind the cursor, in addition, the CursorRec data
+structure contains foreground and background colors for the cursor.
+The CursorBits data structure is shared among multiple CursorRec
+structures which use the same font and glyph to describe both source
+and mask. The cursor image is applied to the screen by applying the
+mask first, clearing 1 bits in its form to the background color, and
+then overwriting on the source image, in the foreground color. (One
+bits of the source image that fall on top of zero bits of the mask
+image are undefined.) This way, a cursor can have transparent parts,
+and opaque parts in two colors. X allows any cursor size, but some
+hardware cursor schemes allow a maximum of N pixels by M pixels.
+Therefore, you are allowed to transform the cursor to a smaller size,
+but be sure to include the hot-spot.</para>
+<para>
+CursorBits in Xserver/include/cursorstr.h is a device-independent
+structure containing a device-independent representation of the bits
+for the source and mask. (This is possible because the bitmap
+representation is the same for all screens.)</para>
+<para>
+When a cursor is created, it is "realized" for each screen. At
+realization time, each screen has the chance to convert the bits into
+some other representation that may be more convenient (for instance,
+putting the cursor into off-screen memory) and set up its
+device-private area in either the CursorRec data structure or
+CursorBits data structure as appropriate to possibly point to whatever
+data structures are needed. It is more memory-conservative to share
+realizations by using the CursorBits private field, but this makes the
+assumption that the realization is independent of the colors used
+(which is typically true). For instance, the following are the device
+private entries for a particular screen and cursor:
+<blockquote><programlisting>

+This is done because the change from one cursor shape to another must
+be fast and responsive; the cursor image should be able to flutter as
+fast as the user moves it across the screen.</para>
+<para>
+You must implement the following routines for your hardware:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool pScreen->RealizeCursor( pScr, pCurs)
+ ScreenPtr pScr;
+ CursorPtr pCurs;
+
+ Bool pScreen->UnrealizeCursor( pScr, pCurs)
+ ScreenPtr pScr;
+ CursorPtr pCurs;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+RealizeCursor and UnrealizeCursor should realize (allocate and
+calculate all data needed) and unrealize (free the dynamically
+allocated data) a given cursor when DIX needs them. They are called
+whenever a device-independent cursor is created or destroyed. The
+source and mask bits pointed to by fields in pCurs are undefined for
+bits beyond the right edge of the cursor. This is so because the bits
+are in Bitmap format, which may have pad bits on the right edge. You
+should inhibit UnrealizeCursor() if the cursor is currently in use;
+this happens when the system is reset.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool pScreen->DisplayCursor( pScr, pCurs)
+ ScreenPtr pScr;
+ CursorPtr pCurs;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+DisplayCursor should change the cursor on the given screen to the one
+passed in. It is called by DIX when the user moves the pointing
+device into a different window with a different cursor. The hotspot
+in the cursor should be aligned with the current cursor position.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->RecolorCursor( pScr, pCurs, displayed)
+ ScreenPtr pScr;
+ CursorPtr pCurs;
+ Bool displayed;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+RecolorCursor notifies DDX that the colors in pCurs have changed and
+indicates whether this is the cursor currently being displayed. If it
+is, the cursor hardware state may have to be updated. Whether
+displayed or not, state created at RealizeCursor time may have to be
+updated. A generic version, miRecolorCursor, may be used that
+does an unrealize, a realize, and possibly a display (in micursor.c);
+however this constrains UnrealizeCursor and RealizeCursor to always return
+TRUE as no error indication is returned here.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->ConstrainCursor( pScr, pBox)
+ ScreenPtr pScr;
+ BoxPtr pBox;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+ConstrainCursor should cause the cursor to restrict its motion to the
+rectangle pBox. DIX code is capable of enforcing this constraint by
+forcefully moving the cursor if it strays out of the rectangle, but
+ConstrainCursor offers a way to send a hint to the driver or hardware
+if such support is available. This can prevent the cursor from
+wandering out of the box, then jumping back, as DIX forces it back.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->PointerNonInterestBox( pScr, pBox)
+ ScreenPtr pScr;
+ BoxPtr pBox;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+PointerNonInterestBox is DIX's way of telling the pointing device code
+not to report motion events while the cursor is inside a given
+rectangle on the given screen. It is optional and, if not
+implemented, it should do nothing. This routine is called only when
+the client has declared that it is not interested in motion events in
+a given window. The rectangle you get may be a subset of that window.
+It saves DIX code the time required to discard uninteresting mouse
+motion events. This is only a hint, which may speed performance.
+Nothing in DIX currently calls PointerNonInterestBox.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->CursorLimits( pScr, pCurs, pHotBox, pTopLeftBox)
+ ScreenPtr pScr;
+ CursorPtr pCurs;
+ BoxPtr pHotBox;
+ BoxPtr pTopLeftBox; /* return value */
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+CursorLimits should calculate the box that the cursor hot spot is
+physically capable of moving within, as a function of the screen pScr,
+the device-independent cursor pCurs, and a box that DIX hypothetically
+would want the hot spot confined within, pHotBox. This routine is for
+informing DIX only; it alters no state within DDX.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool pScreen->SetCursorPosition( pScr, newx, newy, generateEvent)
+ ScreenPtr pScr;
+ int newx;
+ int newy;
+ Bool generateEvent;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+SetCursorPosition should artificially move the cursor as though the
+user had jerked the pointing device very quickly. This is called in
+response to the WarpPointer request from the client, and at other
+times. If generateEvent is True, the device should decide whether or
+not to call ProcessInputEvents() and then it must call
+DevicePtr->processInputProc. Its effects are, of course, limited in
+value for absolute pointing devices such as a tablet.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void NewCurrentScreen(newScreen, x, y)
+ ScreenPtr newScreen;
+ int x,y;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+If your ddx provides some mechanism for the user to magically move the
+pointer between multiple screens, you need to inform DIX when this
+occurs. You should call NewCurrentScreen to accomplish this, specifying
+the new screen and the new x and y coordinates of the pointer on that screen.</para>

+ <title>Visuals, Depths and Pixmap Formats for Screens</title>
+<para>
+The "depth" of a image is the number of bits that are used per pixel to display it.</para>
+<para>
+The "bits per pixel" of a pixmap image that is sent over the client
+byte stream is a number that is either 4, 8, 16, 24 or 32. It is the
+number of bits used per pixel in Z format. For instance, a pixmap
+image that has a depth of six is best sent in Z format as 8 bits per
+pixel.</para>
+<para>
+A "pixmap image format" or a "pixmap format" is a description of the
+format of a pixmap image as it is sent over the byte stream. For each
+depth available on a server, there is one and only one pixmap format.
+This pixmap image format gives the bits per pixel and the scanline
+padding unit. (For instance, are pixel rows padded to bytes, 16-bit
+words, or 32-bit words?)</para>
+<para>
+For each screen, you must decide upon what depth(s) it supports. You
+should only count the number of bits used for the actual image. Some
+displays store additional bits to indicate what window this pixel is
+in, how close this object is to a viewer, transparency, and other
+data; do not count these bits.</para>
+<para>
+A "display class" tells whether the display is monochrome or color,
+whether there is a lookup table, and how the lookup table works.</para>
+<para>
+A "visual" is a combination of depth, display class, and a description
+of how the pixel values result in a color on the screen. Each visual
+has a set of masks and offsets that are used to separate a pixel value
+into its red, green, and blue components and a count of the number of
+colormap entries. Some of these fields are only meaningful when the
+class dictates so. Each visual also has a screen ID telling which
+screen it is usable on. Note that the depth does not imply the number
+of map_entries; for instance, a display can have 8 bits per pixel but
+only 254 colormap entries for use by applications (the other two being
+reserved by hardware for the cursor).</para>
+<para>
+Each visual is identified by a 32-bit visual ID which the client uses
+to choose what visual is desired on a given window. Clients can be
+using more than one visual on the same screen at the same time.</para>
+<para>
+The class of a display describes how this translation takes place.
+There are three ways to do the translation.
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+Pseudo - The pixel value, as a whole, is looked up
+in a table of length map_entries to
+determine the color to display.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+True - The
+pixel value is broken up into red, green, and blue fields, each of which
+are looked up in separate red, green, and blue lookup tables,
+each of length map_entries.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+Gray - The pixel value is looked up in a table of length map_entries to
+determine a gray level to display.</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+<para>
+In addition, the lookup table can be static (resulting colors are fixed for each
+pixel value)
+or dynamic (lookup entries are under control of the client program).
+This leads to a total of six classes:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+Static Gray - The pixel value (of however many bits) determines directly the
+level of gray
+that the pixel assumes.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+Gray Scale - The pixel value is fed through a lookup table to arrive at the level
+of gray to display
+for the given pixel.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+Static Color - The pixel value is fed through a fixed lookup table that yields the
+color to display
+for that pixel.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+PseudoColor - The whole pixel value is fed through a programmable lookup
+table that has one
+color (including red, green, and blue intensities) for each possible pixel value,
+and that color is displayed.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+True Color - Each pixel value consists of one or more bits
+that directly determine each primary color intensity after being fed through
+a fixed table.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+Direct Color - Each pixel value consists of one or more bits for each primary color.
+Each primary color value is individually looked up in a table for that primary
+color, yielding
+an intensity for that primary color.
+For each pixel, the red value is looked up in the
+red table, the green value in the green table, and
+the blue value in the blue table.</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+<para>
+Here are some examples:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+A simple monochrome 1 bit per pixel display is Static Gray.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+A display that has 2 bits per pixel for a choice
+between the colors of black, white, green and violet is Static Color.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+A display that has three bits per pixel, where
+each bit turns on or off one of the red, green or
+blue guns, is in the True Color class.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+If you take the last example and scramble the
+correspondence between pixel values and colors
+it becomes a Static Color display.</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist></para>
+<para>
+A display has 8 bits per pixel. The 8 bits select one entry out of 256 entries
+in a lookup table, each entry consisting of 24 bits (8bits each for red, green,
+and blue).
+The display can show any 256 of 16 million colors on the screen at once.
+This is a pseudocolor display.
+The client application gets to fill the lookup table in this class of display.</para>
+<para>
+Imagine the same hardware from the last example.
+Your server software allows the user, on the
+command line that starts up the server
+program,
+to fill the lookup table to his liking once and for all.
+From then on, the server software would not change the lookup table
+until it exits.
+For instance, the default might be a lookup table with a reasonable sample of
+colors from throughout the color space.
+But the user could specify that the table be filled with 256 steps of gray scale
+because he knew ahead of time he would be manipulating a lot of black-and-white
+scanned photographs
+and not very many color things.
+Clients would be presented with this unchangeable lookup table.
+Although the hardware qualifies as a PseudoColor display,
+the facade presented to the X client is that this is a Static Color display.</para>
+<para>
+You have to decide what kind of display you have or want
+to pretend you have.
+When you initialize the screen(s), this class value must be set in the
+VisualRec data structure along with other display characteristics like the
+depth and other numbers.</para>
+<para>
+The allowable DepthRec's and VisualRec's are pointed to by fields in the ScreenRec.
+These are set up when InitOutput() is called; you should Xalloc() appropriate blocks
+or use static variables initialized to the correct values.</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Colormaps for Screens</title>
+<para>
+A colormap is a device-independent
+mapping between pixel values and colors displayed on the screen.</para>
+<para>
+Different windows on the same screen can have different
+colormaps at the same time.
+At any given time, the most recently installed
+colormap(s) will be in use in the server
+so that its (their) windows' colors will be guaranteed to be correct.
+Other windows may be off-color.
+Although this may seem to be chaotic, in practice most clients
+use the default colormap for the screen.</para>
+<para>
+The default colormap for a screen is initialized when the screen is initialized.
+It always remains in existence and is not owned by any regular client. It
+is owned by client 0 (the server itself).
+Many clients will simply use this default colormap for their drawing.
+Depending upon the class of the screen, the entries in this colormap may
+be modifiable by client applications.</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Colormap Routines</title>
+<para>
+You need to implement the following routines to handle the device-dependent
+aspects of color maps. You will end up placing pointers to these procedures
+in your ScreenRec data structure(s). The sample server implementations of
+many of these routines are in fbcmap.c.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool pScreen->CreateColormap(pColormap)
+ ColormapPtr pColormap;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This routine is called by the DIX CreateColormap routine after it has allocated
+all the data for the new colormap and just before it returns to the dispatcher.
+It is the DDX layer's chance to initialize the colormap, particularly if it is
+a static map. See the following
+section for more details on initializing colormaps.
+The routine returns FALSE if creation failed, such as due to memory
+limitations.
+Notice that the colormap has a devPriv field from which you can hang any
+colormap specific storage you need. Since each colormap might need special
+information, we attached the field to the colormap and not the visual.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->DestroyColormap(pColormap)
+ ColormapPtr pColormap;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This routine is called by the DIX FreeColormap routine after it has uninstalled
+the colormap and notified all interested parties, and before it has freed
+any of the colormap storage.
+It is the DDX layer's chance to free any data it added to the colormap.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->InstallColormap(pColormap)
+ ColormapPtr pColormap;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+InstallColormap should
+fill a lookup table on the screen with which the colormap is associated with
+the colors in pColormap.
+If there is only one hardware lookup table for the screen, then all colors on
+the screen may change simultaneously.</para>
+<para>
+In the more general case of multiple hardware lookup tables,
+this may cause some other colormap to be
+uninstalled, meaning that windows that subscribed to the colormap
+that was uninstalled may end up being off-color.
+See the note, below, about uninstalling maps.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->UninstallColormap(pColormap)
+ ColormapPtr pColormap;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+UninstallColormap should
+remove pColormap from screen pColormap->pScreen.
+Some other map, such as the default map if possible,
+should be installed in place of pColormap if applicable.
+If
+pColormap is the default map, do nothing.
+If any client has requested ColormapNotify events, the DDX layer must notify the client.
+(The routine WalkTree() is
+be used to find such windows. The DIX routines TellNoMap(),
+TellNewMap() and TellGainedMap() are provided to be used as
+the procedure parameter to WalkTree. These procedures are in
+Xserver/dix/colormap.c.)</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ int pScreen->ListInstalledColormaps(pScreen, pCmapList)
+ ScreenPtr pScreen;
+ XID *pCmapList;
+
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+ListInstalledColormaps fills the pCMapList in with the resource ids
+of the installed maps and returns a count of installed maps.
+pCmapList will point to an array of size MaxInstalledMaps that was allocated
+by the caller.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->StoreColors (pmap, ndef, pdefs)
+ ColormapPtr pmap;
+ int ndef;
+ xColorItem *pdefs;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+StoreColors changes some of the entries in the colormap pmap.
+The number of entries to change are ndef, and pdefs points to the information
+describing what to change.
+Note that partial changes of entries in the colormap are allowed.
+Only the colors
+indicated in the flags field of each xColorItem need to be changed.
+However, all three color fields will be sent with the proper value for the
+benefit of screens that may not be able to set part of a colormap value.
+If the screen is a static class, this routine does nothing.
+The structure of colormap entries is nontrivial; see colormapst.h
+and the definition of xColorItem in Xproto.h for
+more details.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->ResolveColor(pRed, pGreen, pBlue, pVisual)
+ unsigned short *pRed, *pGreen, *pBlue;
+ VisualPtr pVisual;
+
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+Given a requested color, ResolveColor returns the nearest color that this hardware is
+capable of displaying on this visual.
+In other words, this rounds off each value, in place, to the number of bits
+per primary color that your screen can use.
+Remember that each screen has one of these routines.
+The level of roundoff should be what you would expect from the value
+you put in the bits_per_rgb field of the pVisual.</para>
+<para>
+Each value is an unsigned value ranging from 0 to 65535.
+The bits least likely to be used are the lowest ones.</para>
+<para>
+For example, if you had a pseudocolor display
+with any number of bits per pixel
+that had a lookup table supplying 6 bits for each color gun
+(a total of 256K different colors), you would
+round off each value to 6 bits. Please don't simply truncate these values
+to the upper 6 bits, scale the result so that the maximum value seen
+by the client will be 65535 for each primary. This makes color values
+more portable between different depth displays (a 6-bit truncated white
+will not look white on an 8-bit display).</para>
+<section>
+<title>Initializing a Colormap</title>
+<para>
+When a client requests a new colormap and when the server creates the default
+colormap, the procedure CreateColormap in the DIX layer is invoked.
+That procedure allocates memory for the colormap and related storage such as
+the lists of which client owns which pixels.
+It then sets a bit, BeingCreated, in the flags field of the ColormapRec
+and calls the DDX layer's CreateColormap routine.
+This is your chance to initialize the colormap.
+If the colormap is static, which you can tell by looking at the class field,
+you will want to fill in each color cell to match the hardwares notion of the
+color for that pixel.
+If the colormap is the default for the screen, which you can tell by looking
+at the IsDefault bit in the flags field, you should allocate BlackPixel
+and WhitePixel to match the values you set in the pScreen structure.
+(Of course, you picked those values to begin with.)</para>
+<para>
+You can also wait and use AllocColor() to allocate blackPixel
+and whitePixel after the default colormap has been created.
+If the default colormap is static and you initialized it in
+pScreen->CreateColormap, then use can use AllocColor afterwards
+to choose pixel values with the closest rgb values to those
+desired for blackPixel and whitePixel.
+If the default colormap is dynamic and uninitialized, then
+the rgb values you request will be obeyed, and AllocColor will
+again choose pixel values for you.
+These pixel values can then be stored into the screen.</para>
+<para>
+There are two ways to fill in the colormap.
+The simplest way is to use the DIX function AllocColor.
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+int AllocColor (pmap, pred, pgreen, pblue, pPix, client)
+ ColormapPtr pmap;
+ unsigned short *pred, *pgreen, *pblue;
+ Pixel *pPix;
+ int client;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This takes three pointers to 16 bit color values and a pointer to a suggested
+pixel value. The pixel value is either an index into one colormap or a
+combination of three indices depending on the type of pmap.
+If your colormap starts out empty, and you don't deliberately pick the same
+value twice, you will always get your suggested pixel.
+The truly nervous could check that the value returned in *pPix is the one
+AllocColor was called with.
+If you don't care which pixel is used, or would like them sequentially
+allocated from entry 0, set *pPix to 0. This will find the first free
+pixel and use that.</para>
+<para>
+AllocColor will take care of all the bookkeeping and will
+call StoreColors to get the colormap rgb values initialized.
+The hardware colormap will be changed whenever this colormap
+is installed.</para>
+<para>
+If for some reason AllocColor doesn't do what you want, you can do your
+own bookkeeping and call StoreColors yourself. This is much more difficult
+and shouldn't be necessary for most devices.</para>

+<section>
+ <title>Fonts for Screens</title>
+<para>
+A font is a set of bitmaps that depict the symbols in a character set.
+Each font is for only one typeface in a given size, in other words,
+just one bitmap for each character. Parallel fonts may be available
+in a variety of sizes and variations, including "bold" and "italic."
+X supports fonts for 8-bit and 16-bit character codes (for oriental
+languages that have more than 256 characters in the font). Glyphs are
+bitmaps for individual characters.</para>
+<para>
+The source comes with some useful font files in an ASCII, plain-text
+format that should be comprehensible on a wide variety of operating
+systems. The text format, referred to as BDF, is a slight extension
+of the current Adobe 2.1 Bitmap Distribution Format (Adobe Systems,
+Inc.).</para>
+<para>
+A short paper in PostScript format is included with the sample server
+that defines BDF. It includes helpful pictures, which is why it is
+done in PostScript and is not included in this document.</para>
+<para>
+Your implementation should include some sort of font compiler to read
+these files and generate binary files that are directly usable by your
+server implementation. The sample server comes with the source for a
+font compiler.</para>
+<para>
+It is important the font properties contained in the BDF files are
+preserved across any font compilation. In particular, copyright
+information cannot be casually tossed aside without legal
+ramifications. Other properties will be important to some
+sophisticated applications.</para>
+<para>
+All clients get font information from the server. Therefore, your
+server can support any fonts it wants to. It should probably support
+at least the fonts supplied with the X11 tape. In principle, you can
+convert fonts from other sources or dream up your own fonts for use on
+your server.</para>
+<section>
+<title>Portable Compiled Format</title>
+<para>
+A font compiler is supplied with the sample server. It has
+compile-time switches to convert the BDF files into a portable binary
+form, called Portable Compiled Format or PCF. This allows for an
+arbitrary data format inside the file, and by describing the details
+of the format in the header of the file, any PCF file can be read by
+any PCF reading client. By selecting the format which matches the
+required internal format for your renderer, the PCF reader can avoid
+reformatting the data each time it is read in. The font compiler
+should be quite portable.</para>
+<para>
+The fonts included with the tape are stored in fonts/bdf. The
+font compiler is found in fonts/tools/bdftopcf.</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Font Realization</title>
+<para>
+Each screen configured into the server
+has an opportunity at font-load time
+to "realize" a font into some internal format if necessary.
+This happens every time the font is loaded into memory.</para>
+<para>
+A font (FontRec in Xserver/include/dixfontstr.h) is
+a device-independent structure containing a device-independent
+representation of the font. When a font is created, it is "realized"
+for each screen. At this point, the screen has the chance to convert
+the font into some other format. The DDX layer can also put information
+in the devPrivate storage.</para>
+<para>

+ FontPtr pFont;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+RealizeFont and UnrealizeFont should calculate and allocate these extra data structures and
+dispose of them when no longer needed.
+These are called in response to OpenFont and CloseFont requests from
+the client.

+kind is one of the defined constants CursorShape, TileShape, or StippleShape
+(defined in X.h).
+For CursorShape, return the maximum width and

+SourceValidate function pointer in the screen is non-null. If you know that
+you will never need SourceValidate, you can avoid this check. Currently,
+SourceValidate is used by the mi software cursor code to remove the cursor

+<title>Drawables</title>
+<para>
+A drawable is a descriptor of a surface that graphics are drawn into, either
+a window on the screen or a pixmap in memory.</para>
+<para>
+Each drawable has a type, class,
+ScreenPtr for the screen it is associated with, depth, position, size,
+and serial number.
+The type is one of the defined constants DRAWABLE_PIXMAP,
+DRAWABLE_WINDOW and UNDRAWABLE_WINDOW.
+(An undrawable window is used for window class InputOnly.)
+The serial number is guaranteed to be unique across drawables, and
+is used in determining
+the validity of the clipping information in a GC.
+The screen selects the set of procedures used to manipulate and draw into the
+drawable. Position is used (currently) only by windows; pixmaps must
+set these fields to 0,0 as this reduces the amount of conditional code
+executed throughout the mi code. Size indicates the actual client-specified
+size of the drawable.
+There are, in fact, no other fields that a window drawable and pixmap
+drawable have in common besides those mentioned here.</para>
+<para>
+Both PixmapRecs and WindowRecs are structs that start with a drawable
+and continue on with more fields. Pixmaps have a single pointer field
+named devPrivate which usually points to the pixmap data but could conceivably be
+used for anything that DDX wants. Both windows and pixmaps also have a
+devPrivates field which can be used for DDX specific data (see <xref linkend="wrappers_and_privates"/>
+below). This is done because different graphics hardware has
+different requirements for management; if the graphics is always
+handled by a processor with an independent address space, there is no
+point having a pointer to the bit image itself.</para>
+<para>
+The definition of a drawable and a pixmap can be found in the file
+Xserver/include/pixmapstr.h.
+The definition of a window can be found in the file Xserver/include/windowstr.h.</para>
+<section>
+ <title>Pixmaps</title>
+<para>
+A pixmap is a three-dimensional array of bits stored somewhere offscreen,
+rather than in the visible portion of the screen's display frame buffer. It
+can be used as a source or destination in graphics operations. There is no
+implied interpretation of the pixel values in a pixmap, because it has no
+associated visual or colormap. There is only a depth that indicates the
+number of significant bits per pixel. Also, there is no implied physical
+size for each pixel; all graphic units are in numbers of pixels. Therefore,
+a pixmap alone does not constitute a complete image; it represents only a
+rectangular array of pixel values.</para>
+<para>
+Note that the pixmap data structure is reference-counted.</para>
+<para>
+The server implementation is free to put the pixmap data
+anywhere it sees fit, according to its graphics hardware setup. Many
+implementations will simply have the data dynamically allocated in the
+server's address space. More sophisticated implementations may put the
+data in undisplayed framebuffer storage.</para>
+<para>
+In addition to dynamic devPrivates (see <xref linkend="wrappers_and_privates"/>
+below), the pixmap data structure has two fields that are private to
+the device. Although you can use them for anything you want, they
+have intended purposes. devKind is intended to be a device specific
+indication of the pixmap location (host memory, off-screen, etc.). In
+the sample server, since all pixmaps are in memory, devKind stores the
+width of the pixmap in bitmap scanline units. devPrivate is usually
+a pointer to the bits in the pixmap.</para>
+<para>
+A bitmap is a pixmap that is one bit deep.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ PixmapPtr pScreen->CreatePixmap(pScreen, width, height, depth)
+ ScreenPtr pScreen;
+ int width, height, depth;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This ScreenRec procedure must create a pixmap of the size
+requested.
+It must allocate a PixmapRec and fill in all of the fields.
+The reference count field must be set to 1.
+If width or height are zero, no space should be allocated
+for the pixmap data, and if the implementation is using the
+devPrivate field as a pointer to the pixmap data, it should be
+set to NULL.
+If successful, it returns a pointer to the new pixmap; if not, it returns NULL.

+This routine takes a pixmap header and initializes the fields of the PixmapRec to the
+parameters of the same name. pPixmap must have been created via
+pScreen->CreatePixmap with a zero width or height to avoid
+allocating space for the pixmap data. pPixData is assumed to be the
+pixmap data; it will be stored in an implementation-dependent place
+(usually pPixmap->devPrivate.ptr). This routine returns

+DDX should use these two DIX routines when it has a buffer of raw
+image data that it wants to manipulate as a pixmap temporarily,
+usually so that some other part of the server can be leveraged to
+perform some operation on the data. The data should be passed in
+pPixData, and will be stored in an implementation-dependent place
+(usually pPixmap->devPrivate.ptr). The other
+fields go into the corresponding PixmapRec fields.
+If successful, GetScratchPixmapHeader returns a valid PixmapPtr which can
+be used anywhere the server expects a pixmap, else
+it returns NULL. The pixmap should be released when no longer needed
+(usually within the same function that allocated it)
+with FreeScratchPixmapHeader.</para>

+ <title>Windows</title>
+<para>
+A window is a visible, or potentially visible, rectangle on the screen.
+DIX windowing functions maintain an internal n-ary tree data structure, which
+represents the current relationships of the mapped windows.
+Windows that are contained in another window are children of that window and
+are clipped to the boundaries of the parent.
+The root window in the tree is the window for the entire screen.
+Sibling windows constitute a doubly-linked list; the parent window has a pointer
+to the head and tail of this list.
+Each child also has a pointer to its parent.</para>
+<para>
+The border of a window is drawn by a DDX procedure when DIX requests that it
+be drawn. The contents of the window is drawn by the client through
+requests to the server.</para>
+<para>
+Window painting is orchestrated through an expose event system.
+When a region is exposed,
+DIX generates an expose event, telling the client to repaint the window and
+passing the region that is the minimal area needed to be repainted.</para>
+<para>
+As a favor to clients, the server may retain
+the output to the hidden parts of windows
+in off-screen memory; this is called "backing store".
+When a part of such a window becomes exposed, it
+can quickly move pixels into place instead of
+triggering an expose event and waiting for a client on the other
+end of the network to respond.
+Even if the network response is insignificant, the time to
+intelligently paint a section of a window is usually more than
+the time to just copy already-painted sections.
+At best, the repainting involves blanking out the area to a background color,
+which will take about the
+same amount of time.
+In this way, backing store can dramatically increase the
+performance of window moves.</para>
+<para>
+On the other hand, backing store can be quite complex, because
+all graphics drawn to hidden areas must be intercepted and redirected
+to the off-screen window sections.
+Not only can this be complicated for the server programmer,
+but it can also impact window painting performance.
+The backing store implementation can choose, at any time, to
+forget pieces of backing that are written into, relying instead upon
+expose events to repaint for simplicity.</para>
+<para>
+In X, the decision to use the backing-store scheme is made
+by you, the server implementor. The sample server implements
+backing store "for free" by reusing the infrastructure for the Composite
+extension. As a side effect, it treats the WhenMapped and Always hints
+as equivalent. However, it will never forget pixel contents when the
+window is mapped.</para>
+<para>
+When a window operation is requested by the client,
+such as a window being created or moved,
+a new state is computed.
+During this transition, DIX informs DDX what rectangles in what windows are about to
+become obscured and what rectangles in what windows have become exposed.
+This provides a hook for the implementation of backing store.
+If DDX is unable to restore exposed regions, DIX generates expose
+events to the client.
+It is then the client's responsibility to paint the
+window parts that were exposed but not restored.</para>
+<para>
+If a window is resized, pixels sometimes need to be
+moved, depending upon
+the application.
+The client can request "Gravity" so that
+certain blocks of the window are
+moved as a result of a resize.
+For instance, if the window has controls or other items
+that always hang on the edge of the
+window, and that edge is moved as a result of the resize,
+then those pixels should be moved
+to avoid having the client repaint it.
+If the client needs to repaint it anyway, such an operation takes
+time, so it is desirable
+for the server to approximate the appearance of the window as best
+it can while waiting for the client
+to do it perfectly.
+Gravity is used for that, also.</para>
+<para>
+The window has several fields used in drawing
+operations:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+clipList - This region, in conjunction with
+the client clip region in the gc, is used to clip output.
+clipList has the window's children subtracted from it, in addition to pieces of sibling windows
+that overlap this window. To get the list with the
+children included (subwindow-mode is IncludeInferiors),
+the routine NotClippedByChildren(pWin) returns the unclipped region.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+borderClip is the region used by CopyWindow and
+includes the area of the window, its children, and the border, but with the
+overlapping areas of sibling children removed.</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+Most of the other fields are for DIX use only.</para>

+<title>Window Procedures in the ScreenRec</title>
+<para>
+You should implement
+all of the following procedures and store pointers to them in the screen record.</para>
+<para>
+The device-independent portion of the server "owns" the window tree.
+However, clever hardware might want to know the relationship of
+mapped windows. There are pointers to procedures
+in the ScreenRec data structure that are called to give the hardware
+a chance to update its internal state. These are helpers and
+hints to DDX only;
+they do not change the window tree, which is only changed by DIX.</para>

+This routine is a hook for when DIX moves or resizes a window.
+It should do whatever private operations need to be done when a window is moved or resized.
+For instance, if DDX keeps a pixmap tile used for drawing the background
+or border, and it keeps the tile rotated such that it is longword
+aligned to longword locations in the frame buffer, then you should rotate your tiles here.

+These routines are hooks for when DIX maps (makes visible) and unmaps
+(makes invisible) a window. It should do whatever private operations
+need to be done when these happen, such as allocating or deallocating
+structures that are only needed for visible windows. RealizeWindow
+does NOT draw the window border, background or contents;

+<title>Graphics Contexts and Validation</title>
+<para>
+This graphics context (GC) contains state variables such as foreground and
+background pixel value (color), the current line style and width,
+the current tile or stipple for pattern generation, the current font for text
+generation, and other similar attributes.</para>
+<para>
+In many graphics systems, the equivalent of the graphics context and the
+drawable are combined as one entity.
+The main distinction between the two kinds of status is that a drawable
+describes a writing surface and the writings that may have already been done
+on it, whereas a graphics context describes the drawing process.
+A drawable is like a chalkboard.
+A GC is like a piece of chalk.</para>
+<para>
+Unlike many similar systems, there is no "current pen location."
+Every graphic operation is accompanied by the coordinates where it is to happen.</para>
+<para>
+The GC also includes two vectors of procedure pointers, the first
+operate on the GC itself and are called GC funcs. The second, called
+GC ops,
+contains the functions that carry out the fundamental graphic operations
+such as drawing lines, polygons, arcs, text, and copying bitmaps.
+The DDX graphic software can, if it
+wants to be smart, change these two vectors of procedure pointers
+to take advantage of hardware/firmware in the server machine, which can do
+a better job under certain circumstances. To reduce the amount of memory
+consumed by each GC, it is wise to create a few "boilerplate" GC ops vectors
+which can be shared by every GC which matches the constraints for that set.
+Also, it is usually reasonable to have every GC created by a particular
+module to share a common set of GC funcs. Samples of this sort of
+sharing can be seen in fb/fbgc.c.</para>
+<para>
+The DDX software is notified any time the client (or DIX) uses a changed GC.
+For instance, if the hardware has special support for drawing fixed-width
+fonts, DDX can intercept changes to the current font in a GC just before
+drawing is done. It can plug into either a fixed-width procedure that makes
+the hardware draw characters, or a variable-width procedure that carefully
+lays out glyphs by hand in software, depending upon the new font that is
+selected.</para>
+<para>
+A definition of these structures can be found in the file
+Xserver/include/gcstruct.h.</para>

+Also included in each GC is support for dynamic devPrivates, which the
+DDX can use for any purpose (see <xref linkend="wrappers_and_privates"/> below).</para>

+As a convenience, each Screen structure contains an array of

+ int depth;
+ ScreenPtr pScreen;
+
+ FreeScratchGC(pGC)

+<para>
+If you need a GC for a very long time, say until the server is restarted,
+you should not take one from the pool used by GetScratchGC, but should
+get your own using CreateGC or CreateScratchGC.

+<section>
+ <title>Details of Operation</title>
+<para>
+At screen initialization, a screen must supply a GC creation procedure.
+At GC creation, the screen must fill in GC funcs and GC ops vectors
+(Xserver/include/gcstruct.h). For any particular GC, the func vector
+must remain constant, while the op vector may vary. This invariant is to
+ensure that Wrappers work correctly.</para>
+<para>
+When a client request is processed that results in a change
+to the GC, the device-independent state of the GC is updated.
+This includes a record of the state that changed.
+Then the ChangeGC GC func is called.
+This is useful for graphics subsystems that are able to process
+state changes in parallel with the server CPU.
+DDX may opt not to take any action at GC-modify time.
+This is more efficient if multiple GC-modify requests occur
+between draws using a given GC.</para>
+<para>
+Validation occurs at the first draw operation that specifies the GC after
+that GC was modified. DIX calls then the ValidateGC GC func. DDX should
+then update its internal state. DDX internal state may be stored as one or
+more of the following: 1) device private block on the GC; 2) hardware
+state; 3) changes to the GC ops.</para>
+<para>
+The GC contains a serial number, which is loaded with a number fetched from
+the window that was drawn into the last time the GC was used. The serial
+number in the drawable is changed when the drawable's
+clipList or absCorner changes. Thus, by
+comparing the GC serial number with the drawable serial number, DIX can
+force a validate if the drawable has been changed since the last time it
+was used with this GC.</para>
+<para>
+In addition, the drawable serial number is always guaranteed to have the
+most significant bit set to 0. Thus, the DDX layer can set the most
+significant bit of the serial number to 1 in a GC to force a validate the next time
+the GC is used. DIX also uses this technique to indicate that a change has
+been made to the GC by way of a SetGC, a SetDashes or a SetClip request.</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>GC Handling Routines</title>
+<para>
+The ScreenRec data structure has a pointer for
+CreateGC().
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ Bool pScreen->CreateGC(pGC)
+ GCPtr pGC;
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This routine must fill in the fields of
+a dynamically allocated GC that is passed in.
+It does NOT allocate the GC record itself or fill
+in the defaults; DIX does that.</para>
+<para>
+This must fill in both the GC funcs and ops; none of the drawing
+functions will be called before the GC has been validated,
+but the others (dealing with allocating of clip regions,
+changing and destroying the GC, etc.) might be.</para>
+<para>
+The GC funcs vector contains pointers to 7
+routines and a devPrivate field:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ pGC->funcs->ChangeGC(pGC, changes)
+ GCPtr pGC;
+ unsigned long changes;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This GC func is called immediately after a field in the GC is changed.
+changes is a bit mask indicating the changed fields of the GC in this
+request.</para>
+<para>
+The ChangeGC routine is useful if you have a system where
+state-changes to the GC can be swallowed immediately by your graphics
+system, and a validate is not necessary.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ pGC->funcs->ValidateGC(pGC, changes, pDraw)
+ GCPtr pGC;
+ unsigned long changes;
+ DrawablePtr pDraw;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+ValidateGC is called by DIX just before the GC will be used when one
+of many possible changes to the GC or the graphics system has
+happened. It can modify devPrivates data attached to the GC,
+change the op vector, or change hardware according to the
+values in the GC. It may not change the device-independent portion of
+the GC itself.</para>
+<para>
+In almost all cases, your ValidateGC() procedure should take the
+regions that drawing needs to be clipped to and combine them into a
+composite clip region, which you keep a pointer to in the private part
+of the GC. In this way, your drawing primitive routines (and whatever
+is below them) can easily determine what to clip and where. You
+should combine the regions clientClip (the region that the client
+desires to clip output to) and the region returned by
+NotClippedByChildren(), in DIX. An example is in Xserver/fb/fbgc.c.</para>
+<para>
+Some kinds of extension software may cause this routine to be called
+more than originally intended; you should not rely on algorithms that
+will break under such circumstances.</para>

+This routine is called by DIX when a GC is being copied to another GC.
+This is for situations where dynamically allocated chunks of memory
+are stored in the GC's dynamic devPrivates and need to be transferred to
+the destination GC.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ pGC->funcs->DestroyGC(pGC)

+This routine is responsible for freeing any auxiliary storage allocated.</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>GC Clip Region Routines</title>
+<para>
+The GC clientClip field requires three procedures to manage it. These
+procedures are in the GC funcs vector. The underlying principle is that dix
+knows nothing about the internals of the clipping information, (except when
+it has come from the client), and so calls ddX whenever it needs to copy,
+set, or destroy such information. It could have been possible for dix not
+to allow ddX to touch the field in the GC, and require it to keep its own
+copy in devPriv, but since clip masks can be very large, this seems like a
+bad idea. Thus, the server allows ddX to do whatever it wants to the
+clientClip field of the GC, but requires it to do all manipulation itself.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pGC->funcs->ChangeClip(pGC, type, pValue, nrects)
+ GCPtr pGC;
+ int type;
+ char *pValue;
+ int nrects;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This routine is called whenever the client changes the client clip
+region. The pGC points to the GC involved, the type tells what form
+the region has been sent in. If type is CT_NONE, then there is no
+client clip. If type is CT_UNSORTED, CT_YBANDED or CT_YXBANDED, then
+pValue pointer to a list of rectangles, nrects long. If type is
+CT_REGION, then pValue pointer to a RegionRec from the mi region code.
+If type is CT_PIXMAP pValue is a pointer to a pixmap. (The defines
+for CT_NONE, etc. are in Xserver/include/gc.h.) This routine is
+responsible for incrementing any necessary reference counts (e.g. for
+a pixmap clip mask) for the new clipmask and freeing anything that
+used to be in the GC's clipMask field. The lists of rectangles passed
+in can be freed with Xfree(), the regions can be destroyed with the
+RegionDestroy field in the screen, and pixmaps can be destroyed by
+calling the screen's DestroyPixmap function. DIX and MI code expect
+what they pass in to this to be freed or otherwise inaccessible, and
+will never look inside what's been put in the GC. This is a good
+place to be wary of storage leaks.</para>
+<para>
+In the sample server, this routine transforms either the bitmap or the
+rectangle list into a region, so that future routines will have a more
+predictable starting point to work from. (The validate routine must
+take this client clip region and merge it with other regions to arrive
+at a composite clip region before any drawing is done.)</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pGC->funcs->DestroyClip(pGC)
+ GCPtr pGC;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This routine is called whenever the client clip region must be destroyed.
+The pGC points to the GC involved. This call should set the clipType
+field of the GC to CT_NONE.
+In the sample server, the pointer to the client clip region is set to NULL
+by this routine after destroying the region, so that other software
+(including ChangeClip() above) will recognize that there is no client clip region.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pGC->funcs->CopyClip(pgcDst, pgcSrc)
+ GCPtr pgcDst, pgcSrc;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+This routine makes a copy of the clipMask and clipType from pgcSrc
+into pgcDst. It is responsible for destroying any previous clipMask
+in pgcDst. The clip mask in the source can be the same as the
+clip mask in the dst (clients do the strangest things), so care must
+be taken when destroying things. This call is required because dix
+does not know how to copy the clip mask from pgcSrc.</para>

+<section>
+ <title>Drawing Primitives</title>
+<para>
+The X protocol (rules for the byte stream that goes between client and server)
+does all graphics using primitive
+operations, which are called Drawing Primitives.
+These include line drawing, area filling, arcs, and text drawing.
+Your implementation must supply 16 routines
+to perform these on your hardware.
+(The number 16 is arbitrary.)</para>
+<para>
+More specifically, 16 procedure pointers are in each
+GC op vector.
+At any given time, ALL of them MUST point to a valid procedure that
+attempts to do the operation assigned, although
+the procedure pointers may change and may
+point to different procedures to carry out the same operation.
+A simple server will leave them all pointing to the same 16 routines, while
+a more optimized implementation will switch each from one
+procedure to another, depending upon what is most optimal
+for the current GC and drawable.</para>
+<para>
+The sample server contains a considerable chunk of code called the
+mi (machine independent)
+routines, which serve as drawing primitive routines.
+Many server implementations will be able to use these as-is,
+because they work for arbitrary depths.
+They make no assumptions about the formats of pixmaps
+and frame buffers, since they call a set of routines
+known as the "Pixblit Routines" (see next section).
+They do assume that the way to draw is
+through these low-level routines that apply pixel values rows at a time.
+If your hardware or firmware gives more performance when
+things are done differently, you will want to take this fact into account
+and rewrite some or all of the drawing primitives to fit your needs.</para>
+<section>
+ <title>GC Components</title>
+<para>
+This section describes the fields in the GC that affect each drawing primitive.
+The only primitive that is not affected is GetImage, which does not use a GC
+because its destination is a protocol-style bit image.
+Since each drawing primitive mirrors exactly the X protocol request of the
+same name, you should refer to the X protocol specification document
+for more details.</para>
+<para>
+ALL of these routines MUST CLIP to the
+appropriate regions in the drawable.
+Since there are many regions to clip to simultaneously,
+your ValidateGC routine should combine these into a unified
+clip region to which your drawing routines can quickly refer.
+This is exactly what the fb routines supplied with the sample server
+do.
+The mi implementation passes responsibility for clipping while drawing
+down to the Pixblit routines.</para>
+<para>
+Also, all of them must adhere to the current plane mask.
+The plane mask has one bit for every bit plane in the drawable;
+only planes with 1 bits in the mask are affected by any drawing operation.</para>
+<para>
+All functions except for ImageText calls must obey the alu function.
+This is usually Copy, but could be any of the allowable 16 raster-ops.</para>
+<para>
+All of the functions, except for CopyArea, might use the current
+foreground and background pixel values.
+Each pixel value is 32 bits.
+These correspond to foreground and background colors, but you have
+to run them through the colormap to find out what color the pixel values
+represent. Do not worry about the color, just apply the pixel value.</para>
+<para>
+The routines that draw lines (PolyLine, PolySegment, PolyRect, and PolyArc)
+use the line width, line style, cap style, and join style.
+Line width is in pixels.
+The line style specifies whether it is solid or dashed, and what kind of dash.
+The cap style specifies whether Rounded, Butt, etc.
+The join style specifies whether joins between joined lines are Miter, Round or Beveled.
+When lines cross as part of the same polyline, they are assumed to be drawn once.
+(See the X protocol specification for more details.)</para>
+<para>
+Zero-width lines are NOT meant to be really zero width; this is the client's way
+of telling you that you can optimize line drawing with little regard to
+the end caps and joins.
+They are called "thin" lines and are meant to be one pixel wide.
+These are frequently done in hardware or in a streamlined assembly language
+routine.</para>
+<para>
+Lines with widths greater than zero, though, must all be drawn with the same
+algorithm, because client software assumes that every jag on every
+line at an angle will come at the same place.
+Two lines that should have
+one pixel in the space between them
+(because of their distance apart and their widths) should have such a one-pixel line
+of space between them if drawn, regardless of angle.</para>
+<para>
+The solid area fill routines (FillPolygon, PolyFillRect, PolyFillArc)
+all use the fill rule, which specifies subtle interpretations of
+what points are inside and what are outside of a given polygon.
+The PolyFillArc routine also uses the arc mode, which specifies
+whether to fill pie segments or single-edge slices of an ellipse.</para>
+<para>
+The line drawing, area fill, and PolyText routines must all
+apply the correct "fill style."
+This can be either a solid foreground color, a transparent stipple,
+an opaque stipple, or a tile.
+Stipples are bitmaps where the 1 bits represent that the foreground color is written,
+and 0 bits represent that either the pixel is left alone (transparent) or that
+the background color is written (opaque).
+A tile is a pixmap of the full depth of the GC that is applied in its full glory to all areas.
+The stipple and tile patterns can be any rectangular size, although some implementations
+will be faster for certain sizes such as 8x8 or 32x32.
+The mi implementation passes this responsibility down to the Pixblit routines.</para>
+<para>
+See the X protocol document for full details.
+The description of the CreateGC request has a very good, detailed description of these
+attributes.</para>

+<section>
+<title>The Primitives</title>
+<para>
+The Drawing Primitives are as follows:
+
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ RegionPtr pGC->ops->CopyArea(src, dst, pGC, srcx, srcy, w, h, dstx, dsty)
+ DrawablePtr dst, src;
+ GCPtr pGC;
+ int srcx, srcy, w, h, dstx, dsty;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+CopyArea copies a rectangle of pixels from one drawable to another of
+the same depth. To effect scrolling, this must be able to copy from
+any drawable to itself, overlapped. No squeezing or stretching is done
+because the source and destination are the same size. However,
+everything is still clipped to the clip regions of the destination
+drawable.</para>
+<para>
+If pGC->graphicsExposures is True, any portions of the destination which
+were not valid in the source (either occluded by covering windows, or
+outside the bounds of the drawable) should be collected together and
+returned as a region (if this resultant region is empty, NULL can be
+returned instead). Furthermore, the invalid bits of the source are
+not copied to the destination and (when the destination is a window)
+are filled with the background tile. The sample routine
+miHandleExposures generates the appropriate return value and fills the
+invalid area using pScreen->PaintWindowBackground.</para>
+<para>
+For instance, imagine a window that is partially obscured by other
+windows in front of it. As text is scrolled on your window, the pixels
+that are scrolled out from under obscuring windows will not be
+available on the screen to copy to the right places, and so an exposure
+event must be sent for the client to correctly repaint them. Of
+course, if you implement backing store, you could do this without resorting
+to exposure events.</para>
+<para>
+An example implementation is fbCopyArea() in Xserver/fb/fbcopy.c.</para>

+ DrawablePtr dst, src;
+ GCPtr pGC;
+ int srcx, srcy, w, h, dstx, dsty;
+ unsigned long plane;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+CopyPlane must copy one plane of a rectangle from the source drawable
+onto the destination drawable. Because this routine only copies one
+bit out of each pixel, it can copy between drawables of different
+depths. This is the only way of copying between drawables of
+different depths, except for copying bitmaps to pixmaps and applying
+foreground and background colors to it. All other conditions of
+CopyArea apply to CopyPlane too.</para>

+ DrawablePtr dst;
+ GCPtr pGC;

+ int n;
+ DDXPointPtr pPoint;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+PolyPoint draws a set of one-pixel dots (foreground color)
+at the locations given in the array.
+mode is one of the defined constants Origin (absolute coordinates) or Previous
+(each coordinate is relative to the last).
+Note that this does not use the background color or any tiles or stipples.</para>

+</programlisting></blockquote>
+Similar to PolyPoint, Polylines draws lines between the locations given in the array.
+Zero-width lines are NOT meant to be really zero width; this is the client's way of

+FillPolygon fills a polygon specified by the points in the array
+with the appropriate fill style.
+If necessary, an extra border line is assumed between the starting and ending lines.
+The shape can be used as a hint
+to optimize filling; it indicates whether it is convex (all interior angles

+PutImage copies a pixmap image into the drawable. The pixmap image

+and format tells the format. (See the X protocol specification for
+details on these formats). You must be able to accept all three
+formats, because the client gets to decide which format to send.

+These two routines are the same as the "8" versions,

+<para>
+The primary difference is in the way the character information is
+looked up. The 8-bit and the 16-bit versions obviously have different
+kinds of character values to look up; the main goal of the lookup is
+to provide a pointer to the CharInfo structs for the characters to
+draw and to pass these pointers to the Glyph routines. Given a
+CharInfo struct, lower-level software can draw the glyph desired with
+little concern for other characteristics of the font.</para>
+<para>
+16-bit character fonts have a row-and-column scheme, where the 2bytes
+of the character code constitute the row and column in a square matrix
+of CharInfo structs. Each font has row and column minimum and maximum
+values; the CharInfo structures form a two-dimensional matrix.</para>

+There is a hook in the GC ops, called LineHelper, that used to be used in the

+ <title>Pixblit Procedures</title>
+<para>
+The Drawing Primitive functions must be defined for your server.
+One possible way to do this is to use the mi routines from the sample server.
+If you choose to use the mi routines (even part of them!) you must implement
+these Pixblit routines.
+These routines read and write pixel values
+and deal directly with the image data.</para>
+<para>
+The Pixblit routines for the sample server are part of the "fb"
+routines. As with the mi routines, the fb routines are
+portable but are not as portable as the mi routines.</para>
+<para>
+The fb subsystem is a depth-independent framebuffer core, capable of
+operating at any depth from 1 to 32, based on the depth of the window
+or pixmap it is currently operating on. In particular, this means it
+can support pixmaps of multiple depths on the same screen. It supplies
+both Pixblit routines and higher-level optimized implementations of the
+Drawing Primitive routines. It does make the assumption that the pixel
+data it touches is available in the server's address space.</para>
+<para>
+In other words, if you have a "normal" frame buffer type display, you
+can probably use the fb code, and the mi code. If you
+have a stranger hardware, you will have to supply your own Pixblit
+routines, but you can use the mi routines on top of them. If you have
+better ways of doing some of the Drawing Primitive functions, then you
+may want to supply some of your own Drawing Primitive routines. (Even
+people who write their own Drawing Primitives save at least some of
+the mi code for certain special cases that their hardware or library
+or fancy algorithm does not handle.)</para>
+<para>
+The client, DIX, and the machine-independent routines do not carry the
+final responsibility of clipping. They all depend upon the Pixblit
+routines to do their clipping for them. The rule is, if you touch the
+frame buffer, you clip.</para>
+<para>
+(The higher level routines may decide to clip at a high level, but
+this is only for increased performance and cannot substitute for
+bottom-level clipping. For instance, the mi routines, DIX, or the
+client may decide to check all character strings to be drawn and chop
+off all characters that would not be displayed. If so, it must retain
+the character on the edge that is partly displayed so that the Pixblit
+routines can clip off precisely at the right place.)</para>
+<para>
+To make this easier, all of the reasons to clip can be combined into
+one region in your ValidateGC procedure. You take this composite clip
+region with you into the Pixblit routines. (The sample server does
+this.)</para>
+<para>
+Also, FillSpans() has to apply tile and stipple patterns. The
+patterns are all aligned to the window origin so that when two people
+write patches that are contiguous, they will merge nicely. (Really,
+they are aligned to the patOrg point in the GC. This defaults to (0,
+0) but can be set by the client to anything.)</para>
+<para>
+However, the mi routines can translate (relocate) the points from
+window-relative to screen-relative if desired. If you set the
+miTranslate field in the GC (set it in the CreateGC or ValidateGC
+routine), then the mi output routines will translate all coordinates.
+If it is false, then the coordinates will be passed window-relative.
+Screens with no hardware translation will probably set miTranslate to
+TRUE, so that geometry (e.g. polygons, rectangles) can be translated,
+rather than having the resulting list of scanlines translated; this is
+good because the list vertices in a drawing request will generally be
+much smaller than the list of scanlines it produces. Similarly,
+hardware that does translation can set miTranslate to FALSE, and avoid
+the extra addition per vertex, which can be (but is not always)
+important for getting the highest possible performance. (Contrast the
+behavior of GetSpans, which is not expected to be called as often, and
+so has different constraints.) The miTranslate field is settable in
+each GC, if , for example, you are mixing several kinds of
+destinations (offscreen pixmaps, main memory pixmaps, backing store,
+and windows), all of which have different requirements, on one screen.</para>
+<para>
+As with other drawing routines, there are fields in the GC to direct
+higher code to the correct routine to execute for each function. In
+this way, you can optimize for special cases, for example, drawing
+solids versus drawing stipples.</para>
+<para>
+The Pixblit routines are broken up into three sets. The Span routines
+simply fill in rows of pixels. The Glyph routines fill in character
+glyphs. The PushPixels routine is a three-input bitblt for more
+sophisticated image creation.</para>
+<para>
+It turns out that the Glyph and PushPixels routines actually have a
+machine-independent implementation that depends upon the Span
+routines. If you are really pressed for time, you can use these
+versions, although they are quite slow.</para>
+<section>
+<title>Span Routines</title>
+<para>
+For these routines, all graphic operations have been reduced to "spans."
+A span is a horizontal row of pixels.
+If you can design these routines which write into and read from
+rows of pixels at a time, you can use the mi routines.</para>
+<para>
+Each routine takes
+a destination drawable to draw into, a GC to use while drawing,
+the number of spans to do, and two pointers to arrays that indicate the list
+of starting points and the list of widths of spans.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pGC->ops->FillSpans(dst, pGC, nSpans, pPoints, pWidths, sorted)
+ DrawablePtr dst;
+ GCPtr pGC;
+ int nSpans;
+ DDXPointPtr pPoints;
+ int *pWidths;
+ int sorted;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+FillSpans should fill horizontal rows of pixels with
+the appropriate patterns, stipples, etc.,
+based on the values in the GC.
+The starting points are in the array at pPoints; the widths are in pWidths.
+If sorted is true, the scan lines are in increasing y order, in which case
+you may be able to make assumptions and optimizations.</para>
+<para>
+GC components: alu, clipOrg, clientClip, and fillStyle.</para>
+<para>
+GC mode-dependent components: fgPixel (for fillStyle Solid); tile, patOrg
+(for fillStyle Tile); stipple, patOrg, fgPixel (for fillStyle Stipple);
+and stipple, patOrg, fgPixel and bgPixel (for fillStyle OpaqueStipple).</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pGC->ops->SetSpans(pDrawable, pGC, pSrc, ppt, pWidths, nSpans, sorted)
+ DrawablePtr pDrawable;
+ GCPtr pGC;
+ char *pSrc;
+ DDXPointPtr pPoints;
+ int *pWidths;
+ int nSpans;
+ int sorted;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+For each span, this routine should copy pWidths bits from pSrc to
+pDrawable at pPoints using the raster-op from the GC.
+If sorted is true, the scan lines are in increasing y order.
+The pixels in pSrc are
+padded according to the screen's padding rules.
+These
+can be used to support
+interesting extension libraries, for example, shaded primitives. It does not
+use the tile and stipple.</para>
+<para>
+GC components: alu, clipOrg, and clientClip</para>
+<para>
+The above functions are expected to handle all modifiers in the current
+GC. Therefore, it is expedient to have
+different routines to quickly handle common special cases
+and reload the procedure pointers
+at validate time, as with the other output functions.</para>
+<para>
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+
+ void pScreen->GetSpans(pDrawable, wMax, pPoints, pWidths, nSpans)
+ DrawablePtr pDrawable;
+ int wMax;
+ DDXPointPtr pPoints;
+ int *pWidths;
+ int nSpans;
+ char *pDst;
+
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+For each span, GetSpans gets bits from the drawable starting at pPoints
+and continuing for pWidths bits.
+Each scanline returned will be server-scanline padded.
+The routine can return NULL if memory cannot be allocated to hold the
+result.</para>
+<para>
+GetSpans never translates -- for a window, the coordinates are already
+screen-relative. Consider the case of hardware that doesn't do
+translation: the mi code that calls ddX will translate each shape
+(rectangle, polygon,. etc.) before scan-converting it, which requires
+many fewer additions that having GetSpans translate each span does.
+Conversely, consider hardware that does translate: it can set its
+translation point to (0, 0) and get each span, and the only penalty is
+the small number of additions required to translate each shape being
+scan-converted by the calling code. Contrast the behavior of
+FillSpans and SetSpans (discussed above under miTranslate), which are
+expected to be used more often.</para>
+<para>
+Thus, the penalty to hardware that does hardware translation is
+negligible, and code that wants to call GetSpans() is greatly
+simplified, both for extensions and the machine-independent core
+implementation.</para>

+These routines must copy the glyphs defined by the bitmaps in

+The poly routine follows all fill, stipple, and tile rules. The image
+routine simply blasts the glyph onto the glyph's rectangle, in
+foreground and background colors.</para>
+<para>
+More precisely, the Image routine fills the character rectangle with
+the background color, and then the glyph is applied in the foreground
+color. The glyph can extend outside of the character rectangle.
+ImageGlyph() is used for terminal emulators and informal text purposes
+such as button labels.</para>
+<para>
+The exact specification for the Poly routine is that the glyph is
+painted with the current fill style. The character rectangle is
+irrelevant for this operation. PolyText, at a higher level, includes
+facilities for font changes within strings and such; it is to be used
+for WYSIWYG word processing and similar systems.</para>

+ <title>Wrappers and Privates</title>
+<para>
+Two new extensibility concepts have been developed for release 4, Wrappers
+and devPrivates. These replace the R3 GCInterest queues, which were not a
+general enough mechanism for many extensions and only provided hooks into a
+single data structure. devPrivates have been revised substantially for
+X.org X server relase 1.5.</para>
+<section>
+ <title>devPrivates</title>
+<para>
+devPrivates provides a way to attach arbitrary private data to various server structures.
+Any structure which contains a <structfield>devPrivates</structfield> field of
+type <type>PrivateRec</type> supports this mechanism. Private data can be allocated at
+any time during an object's life cycle and callbacks are available to initialize and clean
+up allocated space.</para>
+<para>
+To attach a piece of private data to an object, use:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ int dixSetPrivate(PrivateRec **privates, const DevPrivateKey key, pointer val)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+The first argument is the address of the <structfield>devPrivates</structfield> field
+in the target structure. This field is managed privately by the DIX layer and
+should not be directly modified. The second argument is some address value which
+will serve as the unique identifier for the private data. Typically this is the address
+of some global variable in your code. Only one piece of data with a given key can be attached to an object. However, you
+can use the same key to store data in any object that supports the devPrivates mechanism. The third
+argument is the value to store.</para>
+<para>
+If private data with the given key is already associated with the object, <function>dixSetPrivate</function> will
+overwrite the old value with the new one. Otherwise, new space will be allocated to hold the pointer value.
+The function returns <literal>TRUE</literal> unless memory allocation fails, but note that since memory allocation only
+occurs on the first reference to the private data, all subsequent calls are guaranteed to succeed.</para>
+
+<para>
+To look up a piece of private data, use one of:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ pointer dixLookupPrivate(PrivateRec **privates, const DevPrivateKey key)
+ pointer *dixLookupPrivateAddr(PrivateRec **privates, const DevPrivateKey key)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+The first argument is the address of the <structfield>devPrivates</structfield> field
+in the target structure. The second argument is the key to look up. If private data with the given key is already associated
+with the object, <function>dixLookupPrivate</function> will return the stored pointer value while <function>dixLookupPrivateAddr</function>
+will return the address of the stored pointer. Otherwise, new space will be first allocated to hold the pointer value
+and it will be initialized to NULL. Both functions return <literal>NULL</literal> if memory allocation fails, but note that
+since memory allocation only occurs on the first reference to the private data, all subsequent calls are guaranteed to succeed.</para>
+
+<para>
+To request pre-allocated private space, use
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ int dixRequestPrivate(const DevPrivateKey key, unsigned size)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+The first argument is the key for which space is being requested. The second argument is the size of the space being requested.
+After this function has been called,
+future calls to <function>dixLookupPrivate</function> or <function>dixLookupPrivateAddr</function> that cause the private pointer
+to be initially allocated will also allocate <varname>size</varname> bytes of space cleared to zero and initialize the private pointer to point
+to this space instead of <literal>NULL</literal>. This space will be automatically freed. Note that a call to <function>dixSetPrivate</function>
+that changes the pointer value may cause the space to be unreachable by the caller, however it will still be automatically freed.
+The function returns <literal>TRUE</literal> unless memory allocation fails. If the function is called more than once, the largest value
+of <type>size</type> is used.</para>
+
+<para>
+To set callbacks for initializing and cleaning up private space, use
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+ typedef struct {
+ DevPrivateKey key;
+ pointer *value;
+ } PrivateCallbackRec;
+
+ int dixRegisterPrivateInitFunc(const DevPrivateKey key,
+ CallbackProcPtr callback,
+ pointer userdata)
+ int dixRegisterPrivateDeleteFunc(const DevPrivateKey key,
+ CallbackProcPtr callback,
+ pointer userdata)
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+The first argument is the key for which the callbacks are being registered. The second argument is the callback function. The third argument
+will be passed as the user data argument to the callback function when it is called. The call data argument to the callback is a pointer to
+a structure of type <type>PrivateCallbackRec</type>.</para>
+<para>
+The init callback is called immediately after new private space has been allocated for the given key. The delete callback is called immediately
+before the private space is freed when the object is being destroyed. The <type>PrivateCallbackRec</type> structure contains the devPrivate key
+and the address of the private pointer. The init callback may be used to initialize any pre-allocated space requested by
+<function>dixRequestPrivate</function>, while the delete callback may be used to free any data stored there. However the callbacks are called even
+if no pre-allocated space was requested.</para>
+
+<para>
+When implementing new server resource objects that support devPrivates, there are three steps to perform:
+Declare a field of type <type>PrivateRec *</type> in your structure;
+initialize this field to <literal>NULL</literal> when creating any objects; and
+call the <function>dixFreePrivates</function> function, passing in the field value, when freeing any objects.</para>
+</section>
+<section>
+ <title>Wrappers</title>
+<para>
+Wrappers are not a body of code, nor an interface spec. They are, instead,
+a technique for hooking a new module into an existing calling sequence.
+There are limitations on other portions of the server implementation which
+make using wrappers possible; limits on when specific fields of data
+structures may be modified. They are intended as a replacement for
+GCInterest queues, which were not general enough to support existing
+modules; in particular software cursors needed more
+control over the activity. The general mechanism for using wrappers is:
+<blockquote><programlisting>
+privateWrapperFunction (object, ...)
+ ObjectPtr object;
+{
+ pre-wrapped-function-stuff ...
+
+ object->functionVector = dixLookupPrivate(&object->devPrivates, privateKey);
+ (*object->functionVector) (object, ...);
+ /*
+ * this next line is occasionally required by the rules governing
+ * wrapper functions. Always using it will not cause problems.
+ * Not using it when necessary can cause severe troubles.
+ */
+ dixSetPrivate(&object->devPrivates, privateKey, object->functionVector);
+ object->functionVector = privateWrapperFunction;
+
+ post-wrapped-function-stuff ...
+}
+
+privateInitialize (object)
+ ObjectPtr object;
+{
+ dixSetPrivate(&object->devPrivates, privateKey, object->functionVector);
+ object->functionVector = privateWrapperFunction;
+}
+</programlisting></blockquote>
+</para>
+<para>
+Thus the privateWrapperFunction provides hooks for performing work both
+before and after the wrapped function has been called; the process of
+resetting the functionVector is called "unwrapping" while the process of
+fetching the wrapped function and replacing it with the wrapping function
+is called "wrapping". It should be clear that GCInterest queues could
+be emulated using wrappers. In general, any function vectors contained in
+objects can be wrapped, but only vectors in GCs and Screens have been tested.</para>
+<para>
+Wrapping screen functions is quite easy; each vector is individually
+wrapped. Screen functions are not supposed to change after initialization,
+so rewrapping is technically not necessary, but causes no problems.</para>
+<para>
+Wrapping GC functions is a bit more complicated. GC's have two tables of
+function vectors, one hanging from gc->ops and the other from gc->funcs, which
+should be initially wrapped from a CreateGC wrapper. Wrappers should modify
+only table pointers, not the contents of the tables, as they
+may be shared by more than one GC (and, in the case of funcs, are probably
+shared by all gcs). Your func wrappers may change the GC funcs or ops
+pointers, and op wrappers may change the GC op pointers but not the funcs.</para>
+<para>
+Thus, the rule for GC wrappings is: wrap the funcs from CreateGC and, in each
+func wrapper, unwrap the ops and funcs, call down, and re-wrap. In each op
+wrapper, unwrap the ops, call down, and rewrap afterwards. Note that in
+re-wrapping you must save out the pointer you're replacing again. This way the
+chain will be maintained when wrappers adjust the funcs/ops tables they use.</para>

In version 2.2 of the X Video specification, - support for scaled still images was provided, using both - shared memory and traditional transport. The API for this - support uses calls that are quite similar to XCreateWindow, - XPutImage, and XShmPutImage.

However, several modern video adaptors support RGB - as well. - </p> - <p> - Note, though, that the target output for this scaling is an - overlay plane -- so X Video provides functionality that is - fundamentally different from that provided by the Windows - StrechBlt call. - </p> - </sect1> - </sect> - - <sect>Possible Solutions - <p> - This section briefly discusses possible solutions, including - major advantages and disadvantages from both the - implementation and the end-user programmer standpoint. - </p> - <sect1>VNC-like Scaling - <sect2>Software Scaling - <p> - The <tt>vncviewer</tt> application could be modified to - provide software scaling. This is not a general solution, - but it does solve one of the goals of this work. - </p> - <p> - A prototype of this solution was implemented and a patch - against <tt>vnc-3.3.7-unixsrc</tt> is available in the - <tt>dmx/external</tt> directory. Because of limited time - available for this work, all of the edge cases were not - considered and the solution works well mainly for integer - scaling. - </p> - <p> - Currently, <tt>vncviewer</tt> writes to the X display - with XPutImage, XCopyArea, and XFillRectangle. All - instances of these calls have to be aware of scaling - and must round correctly. In the prototype solution, - rounding is incorrect and can cause artifacts. - </p> - <p> - A better solution would be to cache all updates to the - desktop image in <tt>vncviewer</tt> and only send the - damaged area to the X display with XPutImage. This would - allow the damaged area to be computed so that rounding - errors do not create artifacts. This method is probably - similar to what is used in the Window client. (The whole - VNC suite is being re-written in C++ and the forthcoming - version 4 has not been evaluated.) - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>Scaling with the X Video Extension - <p> - The scaling in the Windows <tt>vncviewer</tt> application - makes use of a scaled blit that is supplied by the - underlying system library. Several video cards currently - provide support for a scaled blit, and some X servers - (including XFree86) expose this capability to applications - via the XvPutImage interface of the X Video Extension. - The capability exposed by XvPutImage results in the scaled - image being drawn to an overlay plane. Most video cards - also provide support for a scaled blit into the normal - output planes, but this is not exposed via XvPutImage. - </p> - <p> - The <tt>vncviewer</tt> program could be modified to use - the X Video Extension to provide scaling under X11 that is - similar to the scaling currently provided under Windows. - Unfortunately, Xdmx does not currently export the X Video - Extension, so this would not provide an immediate solution - usable with DMX. - </p> - <p> - A very early-stage proof-of-concept prototype was - implemented and a preliminary patch against - <tt>vnc-3.3.7-unixsrc</tt> is available in the - <tt>dmx/external</tt> directory. This prototype was - implemented to better understand the problems that must be - solved to make this solution viable: - <itemize> - <item> - As noted under the software scaling section above, - <tt>vncviewer</tt> writes to the X display with - several different calls. These calls write to the - normal output planes and are compatible with - XvPutImage, which writes to an overlay plane. To - eliminate artifacts caused by this problem, - <tt>vncviewer</tt> should be modified so that a cached - copy of the desktop is available, either as a - client-side image or a server-side off-screen pixmap, - so that XvPutImage would be the only method for - writing to the X display. - </item> - <item> - <p> - Although several modern graphics adaptors support - hardware scaling using an RGB format (e.g., ATI - Radeon, nVidia, etc.), XFree86 drivers typically - only implement YUV formats. YUV generally compress - the pixel information in some way. For example, two - commonly implemented formats, YUY2 and UYVY provide - intensity information for every RGB pixel, but only - provide chroma and luminance information for pairs - of horizontal pixels. Since VNC uses - pixel-resolution for communicating updates on the - wire, additional artifacts are introduced (because - there may not be enough information from the wire to - update a pair of pixels). - <p> - Further, the well-known problem with YUV encoding - is even more evident when the image is a desktop - instead of a movie. For example, consider a - 1-pixel-wide vertical window border. If the border - changes in color but not intensity (e.g., because a - window manager uses color to indicate focus), there - may or may not be a change in the YUY2 image, - depending on the algorithm used for RGB to YUV - conversion and on how the border pixel is ordered in - the pair of pixels used by the algorithm. - <p> - Many of these artifacts could be eliminated if - <tt>vncviewer</tt> cached a complete RGB image of - the desktop, and only did the conversion to YUV for - properly aligned areas of damage. The remaining artifacts - could be eliminated if an RGB format was used with X - Video (which may require the extension of existing - XFree86 drivers to support RGB). - </item> - <item> - Most modern video cards support exactly one overlay - plane that is suitable for use with X Video. - Therefore, only one application can use X Video at any - given time. This is a severe limitation in a desktop - environment. - </item> - </itemize> - </p> - <sect3>Implementing the X Video Extension for DMX - <p> - The user-level API for X Video is fairly simple, but the - underlying support required for the full specification - is large. However, since the API provides a method to - query supported capabilities, a usable subset of X - Video can be implemented that would support XvPutImage - and little else. This would require support for the - following: - <itemize> - <item> - X Video Extension API calls, including the - following: - <itemize> - <item>XvQueryExtension</item> - <item>XvQueryAdaptors</item> - <item>XvQueryPortAttributes</item> - <item>XvFreeAdaptorInfo</item> - <item>XvListImageFormats</item> - <item>XvGrabPort</item> - <item>XvCreateImage</item> - <item>XvPutImage</item> - <item>XvShmCreateImage</item> - <item>XvShmPutImage</item> - </itemize> - </item> - <item> - Support for querying back-end X Video Extension - capabilities. - </item> - <item> - Support for sending the image to the back-ends. - Because X Video requires sending full images, there - may be a trade-off between bandwidth limitations and - additional complexity to divide the image up such - that is scales properly. - </item> - <item> - Possible support for a software fall-back. For - example, if all of the back-ends do not support the X - Video Extension, software scaling can be implemented - such that the image is sent to the back-end with - XPutImage. This pathway would have poor - performance. - </item> - </itemize> - </p> - </sect3> - <sect3>Supporting RGB formats for the X Video Extension - <p> - Assuming an XFree86 driver already supports the X Video - Extension, and assuming the target hardware supports an - RGB format, then adding support for that format is - relatively simple and straightforward. - </p> - </sect3> - </sect2> - <sect2>Scaling with an XPutImageScaled Extension - <p> - Instead of (or in addition to) implementing the X Video - Extension in DMX, one obvious solution would be to - implement a new extension that provides access to - hardware-assisted scaled blits, similar to the StretchBlt - call available under Windows. This call would scale RGB - images and would not use the overlay plane (unlike the X - Video Extension). - </p> - <p> - This approach has many of the same advantages and - disadvantages as the XCopyAreaScaled Extension, discussed - in the next section. Discussion of XPutImageScaled is - deferred in favor of XCopyAreaScaled for the following - reasons: - <itemize> - <item> - XPutImageScaled can be emulated with XCopyAreaScaled - by first using XPutImage to copy the image to an - off-screen pixmap, and then calling XCopyAreaScaled - between that off-screen pixmap and the target - drawable. - </item> - <item> - Since XCopyAreaScaled would copy between two areas of - on-screen or off-screen memory, it has additional uses - and can be viewed as efficiently providing a superset - of XPutImageScaled functionality. - </item> - </itemize> - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>Scaling with an XCopyAreaScaled Extension - <p> - As noted in the previous section, because XCopyAreaScaled - provides a superset of the functionality provided by - XPutImageScaled, we will consider this extension instead. - </p> - <p> - First, XCopyAreaScaled would provide for RGB scaling - between pixmaps (i.e., on-screen or off-screen areas of - memory that reside on the video card). Unlike the X Video - Extension, which writes into an overlay plane, - XCopyAreaScaled would write into the non-overlay areas of - the screen. Key points to consider are as follows: - <itemize> - <item> - Because different planes are involved, the two scaling - operations are usually implemented in hardware - differently, so an XCopyAreaScaled extension could be - added in a manner that would neither conflict with nor - interact with the X Video extension in any way. - </item> - <item> - The XCopyAreaScaled extension provides new - functionality that the X Video Extension does not - provide. Based on anecdotal feedback, we believe that - many people outside the DMX and VNC communities would - be excited about this extension. - </item> - <item> - The main drawback to this extension is that it is new - and needs to be implemented at the driver level in - XFree86 for each video card to be supported. At the - present time, it is more likely that the X Video - Extension will be implemented for a particular piece - hardware because the X Video extension has multimedia - uses. However, over time, we would expect the - XCopyAreaScaled extension to be implemented along with - the X Video extension, especially if it becomes - popular. - </item> - <item> - Another drawback is that not all modern cards provide - support for a simple scaled blit operation. However, - these cards usually do provide a 3D pipeline which - could be used to provide this functionality in a - manner that is transparent to the client application - that is using the XCopyAreaScaled extension. However, - this implementation pathway would make this extension - somewhat more difficult to implement on certain cards. - </item> - </itemize> - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>Scaling with OpenGL - <p> - Another general solution to the scaling problem is to use - the texture scaling found in all 3D hardware. This - ability is already exposed through OpenGL and can be - exploited by clients without X server modification (i.e., - other than the ability to support OpenGL). An application - using OpenGL would transmit the non-scaled image to the X - server as a texture, and would then display a single - non-transformed rect using that texture. This also works - around the single overlay problem with the X Video - Extension as well as the need to implement additional - scaled primitive extensions. - </p> - <p> - The downside is that most OpenGL implementations require - power of 2 texture sizes and this can be very wasteful of - memory if, for example, the application needs to scale a - 1025x1025 image, which would require a 2048x2048 texture - area (even a 640x480 image would require a 1024x512 - texture). Another downside is that some OpenGL - implementations have a limited about of texture memory and - cannot handle textures that are very large. For example, - they might limit the texture size to 1024x1024. - </p> - </sect2> - </sect1> - <sect1>Application-transparent Scaling for DMX - <sect2>Back-end Scaling Without Disconnect/Reconnect - <p> - VNC does scaling on the client side (in the - <tt>vncviewer</tt> application). Implementing a similar - solution for DMX would require support in the back-end X - servers and, therefore, is not a general solution. - </p> - <p> - XFree86 already implements some support for "scaling" that - could be used with DMX: if, in the XF86Config file, - multiple Modes are listed in the Display Subsection of the - Screen Section, then pressing Ctrl-Alt-Plus and - Ctrl-Alt-Minus can be used to iterate through the listed - modes. The display dimensions will change to the - dimensions in the Modes line, but the logical dimensions - of the X server (i.e., the dimensions that Xdmx knows - about) will not change. - </p> - <p> - Further, the dimensions of the XFree86 display are under - software control (via the XFree86-VidModeExtension), so - the Xdmx server could change the screen dimensions on a - per-display basis, thereby scaling the information on part - of that display. - </p> - <p> - However, this scaling appears to have limited use. For - example, assume a 4 by 4 display wall consisting of 16 - 1280x1024 displays. If all of the back-end servers were - simultaneously configured to display 640x480, the left - hand corner of each display would be magnified, but the - composite result would be unreadable. Magnifying one - display at a time could be usable, but could have limited - utility, since the result would still be no larger than a - single display. - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>Back-end Scaling With Disconnect/Reconnect - <p> - Disconnect and reconnect features are not currently - supported in DMX, but are scheduled to be implemented in - the future. These features, combined with the - XFree86-VidModeExtension Extension, would allow an - application to do the following: - <itemize> - <item> - Disconnect a specific back-end server (via the DMX - Extension), - </item> - <item> - reconfigure the XFree86 back-end server resolution, - and - </item> - <item> - reconnect the back-end server to DMX -- at a new - origin with the new screen resolution. - </item> - </itemize> - </p> - <p> - For example, consider a display wall consisting of 16 - 1280x1024 displays with a total resolution of 5120x4096. - All of the screens could be disconnected, repositioned, - and reconnected each at a resolution of 640x480. The - total resolution of the display wall would be 2560x1920, - allowing a view of a selected area approximately - one-fourth of the size of the DMX display. This change - would be completely application independent (except, - perhaps, for a DMX-aware window manager). When work at - the increased resolution was completed, the back-end - servers could be disconnected, reconfigured, and - reconnected for the original 5120x4096 view. - </p> - <p> - Support for this type of scaling can be implemented in a - DMX-aware X11 client assuming the DMX server support - arbitrary disconnect and reconnect semantics. Because - this application cannot be written before - disconnect/reconnect is implemented, this solution will - not be discussed further in this paper. - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>Server-side Scaling - <p> - In earlier versions of DMX, a frame buffer was maintained - on the server side, and XPutImage was used to move the - information from the server to the client (similar to some - early VNC implementations). The use of a server-side - frame buffer would allow the server to do scaling, but is - not a recommended solution because of overall performance - issues and server-side memory issues (i.e., the frame - buffer would be very large for large display walls). - </p> - <p> - Exploration of this path is not recommended. - </p> - </sect2> - </sect1> - <sect1>XCreateScaledWindow API - <p> - The implementation of X Video Extension in DMX, and the use - of XvPutImage by applications requiring scaling requires - significant changes in DMX Further, XvPutImage is, - essentially a scaled blit, and it is only useful for - applications which are already using (or can be modified to - use) XPutImage. Therefore, a more general API will be - discussed as another possibility. - </p> - <p> - X applications typically create windows with the - XCreateWindow call. A new extension could provide an - XCreateScaledWindow call that could be used in place of the - XCreateWindow call and be otherwise transparent to the - application. This would allow applications, even those that - do not depend on XPutImage, to take advantage of window - scaling. In this section we describe how the call would - work, what transparency it provides, and how to solve the - potential problems that transparency creates. - </p> - <sect2>XCreateWindow - <p> - The XCreateWindow call takes width and height as - parameters. An XCreateScaledWindow call could take all - the same parameters, with the addition of a scaling factor. - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>XSetWindowAttributes - <p> - An X11 window has several attributes that would have to be - scaled: - <itemize> - <item>Background and border pixmaps</item> - <item>Border width</item> - <item>Cursor</item> - </itemize> - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>XGetWindowAttributes, XGetGeometry - <p> - For transparency, calls that query the window attributes - should return unscaled information. This suggests that - all unscaled pixmaps and window attributes should be - cached. - </p> - <p> - Unfortunately, a window manager requires the scaled - geometry to properly decorate the window. The X server - can probably determine which client is acting as the - window manager (e.g., because that client will select - events that are used exclusively by the window manager). - However, other Scaled Window Extension aware clients may - also need to determine the scaled geometry. Therefore, at - least two additional extension calls should be - implemented: XGetScaledWindowAttributes and - XGetScaledGeometry. - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>Popup and Child window positions - <p> - Some applications may position popup and child windows - based on an unscaled notion of the main window geometry. - In this case, additional modifications to the client would - be required. - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>Events - <p> - Most events (e.g., for mouse motion) return information - about the coordinates at which the even occurred. These - coordinates would have to be modified so that unscaled - values were presented to the client. - </p> - </sect2> - <sect2>Implementation - <p> - There are many implementation issues, some of which are - similar to the issues involved in implementing the X Video - Extension for DMX. The window contents must be scaled, - either by performing all operations to a frame buffer and - then writing the image to the display (perhaps using - hardware scaling support), or by modifying all of the - various drawing operations to perform scaling. Because of - the complexity involved, the frame buffer option is - recommended. - </p> - </sect2> - </sect1> - </sect> - - <sect>Conclusion and Recommendations - <p> - We recommend a three phase implementation strategy, based on - how an application could be written to take advantage of - scaling: - <enum> - <item> - <p> - The XCopyAreaScaled extension should be implemented, since - this is the ideal solution for applications like VNC, and - since making use of this extension will require minimal - changes to applications that already use XPutImage or - XCopyArea. - <p> - The initial implementation work would include the design - of the X protocol extension, writing this up in the - usual format for extension documentation, implementation - of the protocol transport pieces in XFree86, - implementation of a software fall-back in XFree86 and - DMX, one example hardware implementation for XFree86, - and implementation of support for this extension in DMX. - <p> - We suggest implementing the extension first on the ATI - Radeon cards. However, since these cards do not provide - a 2D scaled blit primitive, the implementation would - have to make use of the 3D texture engine to emulate a - scaled blit. This is recommended, since other modern - graphics cards also do not provide a simple 2D scaled - blit operation and an example of the more difficult - implementation pathway would be helpful to others. - </item> - <item> - <p> - Until XCopyAreaScaled is widely supported, applications - that require scaling will have to fall back to another - scaling method. We suggest OpenGL as the first fall-back - method because it is widely available and supported by - DMX. - <p> - A project centered around OpenGL-based scaling would - implement this scaling in VNC as an example. This work - would include re-writing the <tt>vncviewer</tt> - rendering engine to cache a master copy of the desktop - image for all operations. - </item> - <item> - <p> - Since OpenGL is not implemented everywhere, and may not - provide hardware-assisted performance in every - implementation, an application that requires scaling - should also fall back to using the X Video Extension. - <p> - This project would add support for the X Video Extension - to DMX and would add support to VNC to take advantage of - this extension without introducing artifacts. This - would require modifying the <tt>vncviewer</tt> rendering - engine to cache a master copy of the desktop image for - all operations. This project should also add support - for the RGB format to at least one XFree86 driver (e.g., - ATI Radeon). - <p> - The X Video Extension is one of the few popular - extensions that DMX does not support. We recommend - implementing the X Video Extension even if scaling is - the specific goal of that work. - </item> - </enum> - </p> - <p> - We do <bf>not</bf> recommend implementation of the - XCreateScaledWindow extension because of the complexity - involved. We do <bf>not</bf> recommend implementation of the - XPutImageScaled extension because it requires the same amount - of work as the XCopyAreaScaled extension, but provides less - functionality. Further, server-side scaling with a large - frame buffer is <bf>not</bf> recommended because of the - performance implications. - </p> - <p> - The back-end scaling, especially with disconnect/reconnect - support should be explored in the future after - disconnect/reconnect is implemented, but not at the present - time. - </p> - </sect> - - </article> - <!-- Local Variables: --> - <!-- fill-column: 72 --> - <!-- End: --> +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

+ <para>
+ When using the <command>vncviewer</command> program for Windows, it
+ is possible to specify a scaling factor (as numerator and
+ denominator). When scaling is in effect, the viewer
+ software uses StretchBlt (instead of BitBlt) to display
+ the pixels for the user. When this call is made, the
+ viewer already has received all of the pixel information
+ (at full unscaled resolution).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The scaling in VNC is primitive. It does not conserve
+ bandwidth, it does not treat textual information
+ differently (i.e., by using a suitably scaled font), and
+ it does not provide any anti-aliasing other than that
+ provided by the underlying (Windows-only) system library.

+ <sect2><title>The X Video Extension</title>
+ <para>
+ The X Video Extension is a widely-available extension to the
+ X11 protocol that provides support for streaming video.
+ Integral to this support is the ability to arbitrarily scale
+ the output. In version 2.2 of the X Video specification,
+ support for scaled still images was provided, using both
+ shared memory and traditional transport. The API for this
+ support uses calls that are quite similar to XCreateWindow,
+ XPutImage, and XShmPutImage. Currently, most of the drivers
+ implemented in XFree86 only support data in various YUV
+ formats. However, several modern video adaptors support RGB
+ as well.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note, though, that the target output for this scaling is an
+ overlay plane -- so X Video provides functionality that is
+ fundamentally different from that provided by the Windows
+ StrechBlt call.

+ via the XvPutImage interface of the X Video Extension.
+ The capability exposed by XvPutImage results in the scaled

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Although several modern graphics adaptors support
+ hardware scaling using an RGB format (e.g., ATI
+ Radeon, nVidia, etc.), XFree86 drivers typically
+ only implement YUV formats. YUV generally compress
+ the pixel information in some way. For example, two
+ commonly implemented formats, YUY2 and UYVY provide
+ intensity information for every RGB pixel, but only
+ provide chroma and luminance information for pairs
+ of horizontal pixels. Since VNC uses
+ pixel-resolution for communicating updates on the
+ wire, additional artifacts are introduced (because
+ there may not be enough information from the wire to
+ update a pair of pixels).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Further, the well-known problem with YUV encoding
+ is even more evident when the image is a desktop
+ instead of a movie. For example, consider a
+ 1-pixel-wide vertical window border. If the border
+ changes in color but not intensity (e.g., because a
+ window manager uses color to indicate focus), there
+ may or may not be a change in the YUY2 image,
+ depending on the algorithm used for RGB to YUV
+ conversion and on how the border pixel is ordered in
+ the pair of pixels used by the algorithm.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Many of these artifacts could be eliminated if
+ <command>vncviewer</command> cached a complete RGB image of
+ the desktop, and only did the conversion to YUV for

+ <para>
+ As noted in the previous section, because XCopyAreaScaled

+ </para>
+ <para>
+ First, XCopyAreaScaled would provide for RGB scaling
+ between pixmaps (i.e., on-screen or off-screen areas of

+ XCopyAreaScaled would write into the non-overlay areas of

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Because different planes are involved, the two scaling

+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ The main drawback to this extension is that it is new

+ the X Video extension, especially if it becomes

+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Another drawback is that not all modern cards provide

+ </sect3>
+ <sect3><title>Scaling with OpenGL</title>
+ <para>
+ Another general solution to the scaling problem is to use
+ the texture scaling found in all 3D hardware. This
+ ability is already exposed through OpenGL and can be
+ exploited by clients without X server modification (i.e.,
+ other than the ability to support OpenGL). An application
+ using OpenGL would transmit the non-scaled image to the X
+ server as a texture, and would then display a single
+ non-transformed rect using that texture. This also works
+ around the single overlay problem with the X Video
+ Extension as well as the need to implement additional
+ scaled primitive extensions.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The downside is that most OpenGL implementations require
+ power of 2 texture sizes and this can be very wasteful of
+ memory if, for example, the application needs to scale a
+ 1025x1025 image, which would require a 2048x2048 texture
+ area (even a 640x480 image would require a 1024x512
+ texture). Another downside is that some OpenGL
+ implementations have a limited about of texture memory and
+ cannot handle textures that are very large. For example,
+ they might limit the texture size to 1024x1024.

+ VNC does scaling on the client side (in the

+ solution for DMX would require support in the back-end X
+ servers and, therefore, is not a general solution.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ XFree86 already implements some support for "scaling" that
+ could be used with DMX: if, in the XF86Config file,
+ multiple Modes are listed in the Display Subsection of the
+ Screen Section, then pressing Ctrl-Alt-Plus and
+ Ctrl-Alt-Minus can be used to iterate through the listed
+ modes. The display dimensions will change to the
+ dimensions in the Modes line, but the logical dimensions
+ of the X server (i.e., the dimensions that Xdmx knows
+ about) will not change.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Further, the dimensions of the XFree86 display are under
+ software control (via the XFree86-VidModeExtension), so
+ the Xdmx server could change the screen dimensions on a
+ per-display basis, thereby scaling the information on part
+ of that display.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ However, this scaling appears to have limited use. For
+ example, assume a 4 by 4 display wall consisting of 16
+ 1280x1024 displays. If all of the back-end servers were
+ simultaneously configured to display 640x480, the left

+ <para>
+ Disconnect and reconnect features are not currently

+ 1280x1024 displays with a total resolution of 5120x4096.
+ All of the screens could be disconnected, repositioned,
+ and reconnected each at a resolution of 640x480. The
+ total resolution of the display wall would be 2560x1920,
+ allowing a view of a selected area approximately
+ one-fourth of the size of the DMX display. This change
+ would be completely application independent (except,

+.SH NAME
+__xconfigfile__ and __xconfigdir__ \- configuration files for
+__xservername__ X server
+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.B __xservername__
+supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
+run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
+__xconfigfile__ and __xconfigdir__ configuration files, auto-detection,
+and fallback defaults. When the same information is supplied in more
+than one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used. The list of
+mechanisms is ordered from highest precedence to lowest. Note that not
+all parameters can be supplied via all methods. The available command
+line options and environment variables (and some defaults) are
+described in the Xserver(__appmansuffix__) and
+__xservername__(__appmansuffix__) manual pages. Most configuration file
+parameters, with their defaults, are described below. Driver and module
+specific configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver
+or module manual page.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B __xservername__
+uses a configuration file called
+.I __xconfigfile__
+and files ending in the suffix
+.I .conf
+from the directory
+.I __xconfigdir__
+for its initial setup.
+The
+.I __xconfigfile__
+configuration file is searched for in the following places when the
+server is started as a normal user:
+.PP

+environment variable, and
+.I <hostname>
+is the machine's hostname as reported by
+.BR gethostname (__libmansuffix__).
+.PP
+When the __xservername__ server is started by the \(lqroot\(rq user, the config file

+.B $HOME
+is the path specified by that environment variable (usually the home
+directory), and
+.I <hostname>
+is the machine's hostname as reported by
+.BR gethostname (__libmansuffix__).
+.PP
+Additional configuration files are searched for in the following
+directories when the server is started as a normal user:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.IR /etc/X11/ <cmdline>
+.IR __sysconfdir__/X11/ <cmdline>
+.I /etc/X11/__xconfigdir__

+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I <cmdline>
+is a relative path (with no \(lq..\(rq components) specified with the
+.B \-configdir
+command line option.
+.PP
+When the __xservername__ server is started by the \(lqroot\(rq user, the
+config directory search locations are as follows:

+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I <cmdline>
+is the path specified with the
+.B \-configdir
+command line option (which may be absolute or relative).
+.PP
+Finally, configuration files will also be searched for in directories
+reserved for system use. These are to separate configuration files from
+the vendor or 3rd party packages from those of local administration.
+These files are found in the following directories:
+.PP
+.RS 4

+.I __datadir__/X11/__xconfigdir__
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+.I __xconfigfile__
+and
+.I __xconfigdir__
+files are composed of a number of sections which may be present in any order,
+or omitted to use default configuration values.
+Each section has the form:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.BI "Section \*q" SectionName \*q
+.RI " " SectionEntry

+The old
+.B XInput
+section is no longer recognised.
+.PP
+The
+.B ServerLayout
+sections are at the highest level.
+They bind together the input and output devices that will be used in a session.
+The input devices are described in the
+.B InputDevice
+sections.
+Output devices usually consist of multiple independent components (e.g.,
+a graphics board and a monitor).
+These multiple components are bound together in the
+.B Screen
+sections, and it is these that are referenced by the
+.B ServerLayout
+section.
+Each
+.B Screen
+section binds together a graphics board and a monitor.
+The graphics boards are described in the
+.B Device
+sections, and the monitors are described in the
+.B Monitor
+sections.
+.PP
+Config file keywords are case\-insensitive, and \(lq_\(rq characters are
+ignored.
+Most strings (including
+.B Option
+names) are also case-insensitive, and insensitive to white space and
+\(lq_\(rq characters.
+.PP
+Each config file entry usually takes up a single line in the file. They
+consist of a keyword, which is possibly followed by one or more arguments,
+with the number and types of the arguments depending on the keyword.
+The argument types are:
+.PP

+.BR "Integer " "an integer number in decimal, hex or octal"
+.BR "Real " "a floating point number"
+.BR "String " "a string enclosed in double quote marks (\*q)"
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Note: hex integer values must be prefixed with \(lq0x\(rq, and octal values
+with \(lq0\(rq.
+.PP
+A special keyword called
+.B Option
+may be used to provide free\-form data to various components of the server.
+The
+.B Option
+keyword takes either one or two string arguments.
+The first is the option name, and the optional second argument is the
+option value.
+Some commonly used option value types include:
+.PP
+.RS 4

+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Note that
+.I all
+.B Option
+values, not just strings, must be enclosed in quotes.
+.PP
+Boolean options may optionally have a value specified.
+When no value is specified, the option's value is
+.BR TRUE .
+The following boolean option values are recognised as
+.BR TRUE :
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.BR 1 ,
+.BR on ,
+.BR true ,

+.RE
+.PP

+.TP 7
+.BI "Disable \*q" modulename \*q
+This instructs the server to not load the module called
+.IR modulename .
+Some modules are loaded by default in the server, and this overrides that
+default. If a
+.B Load
+instruction is given for the same module, it overrides the
+.B Disable
+instruction and the module is loaded. The module name given should be the
+module's standard name, not the module file name. As with the
+.B Load
+instruction, the standard name is case-sensitive, and does not include the
+"lib" prefix, or the ".a", ".o", or ".so" suffixes.
+.PP
+The second form of entry is a
+.BR SubSection,
+with the subsection name being the module name, and the contents of the
+.B SubSection
+being
+.B Options
+that are passed to the module when it is loaded.
+.PP
+Example: the extmod module (which contains a miscellaneous group of
+server extensions) can be loaded, with the XFree86\-DGA extension
+disabled by using the following entry:

+(e.g., \(lqPCI:1:0:0\(rq might be appropriate for an AGP card).
+This field is usually optional in single-head configurations when using
+the primary graphics card.
+In multi-head configurations, or when using a secondary graphics card in a
+single-head configuration, this entry is mandatory.
+Its main purpose is to make an unambiguous connection between the device
+section and the hardware it is representing.

+scanpci.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Screen " number
+This option is mandatory for cards where a single PCI entity can drive more
+than one display (i.e., multiple CRTCs sharing a single graphics accelerator

+The speed is in MHz.
+When one value is given, it applies to all framebuffer pixel sizes.
+When multiple values are given, they apply to the framebuffer pixel sizes
+8, 16, 24 and 32 respectively.
+This is not used by many drivers, and only needs to be specified when the
+speed rating of the RAMDAC is different from the defaults built in to
+driver, or when the driver can't auto-detect the correct defaults.
+Don't specify it unless the driver-specific documentation recommends that you
+do.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Clocks " "clock ..."
+specifies the pixel that are on your graphics board.
+The clocks are in MHz, and may be specified as a floating point number.

+the graphics board to determine this quantity.
+The driver-specific documentation should indicate when it might be needed.
+.TP 7
+.BI "BiosBase " "baseaddress"
+This optional entry specifies the base address of the video BIOS for
+the VGA board.
+This address is normally auto-detected, and should only be specified if the
+driver-specific documentation recommends it.
+.TP 7
+.BI "MemBase " "baseaddress"
+This optional entry specifies the memory base address of a graphics

+.BR Options ,
+and information about the video modes to use with the monitor.
+.PP
+With RandR 1.2-enabled drivers, monitor sections may be tied to specific
+outputs of the video card. Using the name of the output defined by the video
+driver plus the identifier of a monitor section, one associates a monitor
+section with an output by adding an option to the Device section in the
+following format:

+.B Option \*qMonitor-outputname\*q \*qmonitorsection\*q
+
+(for example,
+.B Option \*qMonitor-VGA\*q \*qVGA monitor\*q

+.PP
+In the absence of specific association of monitor sections to outputs, if a
+monitor section is present the server will associate it with an output to
+preserve compatibility for previous single-head configurations.

+Each
+.B Screen
+section may optionally contain one or more
+.B Display
+subsections.
+Those subsections provide depth/fbbpp specific configuration information,
+and the one chosen depends on the depth and/or fbbpp that is being used for
+the screen.
+The
+.B Display
+subsection format is described in the section below.
+
+.SH "DISPLAY SUBSECTION"
+Each
+.B Screen
+section may have multiple
+.B Display
+subsections.
+The \(lqactive\(rq
+.B Display
+subsection is the first that matches the depth and/or fbbpp values being
+used, or failing that, the first that has neither a depth or fbbpp value
+specified.
+The
+.B Display
+subsections are optional.
+When there isn't one that matches the depth and/or fbbpp values being used,
+all the parameters that can be specified here fall back to their defaults.
+.PP
+.B Display
+subsections have the following format:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.B " SubSection \*qDisplay\*q"
+.BI " Depth " depth
+.I " entries"
+.I " ..."
+.B " EndSubSection"
+.fi
+.RE
+.TP 7
+.BI "Depth " depth
+This entry specifies what colour depth the
+.B Display
+subsection is to be used for.
+This entry is usually specified, but it may be omitted to create a match\-all
+.B Display
+subsection or when wishing to match only against the
+.B FbBpp
+parameter.
+The range of
+.I depth
+values that are allowed depends on the driver.
+Most drivers support 8, 15, 16 and 24.
+Some also support 1 and/or 4, and some may support other values (like 30).
+Note:
+.I depth
+means the number of bits in a pixel that are actually used to determine
+the pixel colour.
+32 is not a valid
+.I depth
+value.
+Most hardware that uses 32 bits per pixel only uses 24 of them to hold the
+colour information, which means that the colour depth is 24, not 32.
+.TP 7
+.BI "FbBpp " bpp
+This entry specifies the framebuffer format this
+.B Display
+subsection is to be used for.
+This entry is only needed when providing depth 24 configurations that allow
+a choice between a 24 bpp packed framebuffer format and a 32bpp sparse
+framebuffer format.
+In most cases this entry should not be used.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Weight " "red\-weight green\-weight blue\-weight"
+This optional entry specifies the relative RGB weighting to be used
+for a screen is being used at depth 16 for drivers that allow multiple
+formats.
+This may also be specified from the command line with the
+.B \-weight
+option (see
+.BR __xservername__(__appmansuffix__)).
+.TP 7
+.BI "Virtual " "xdim ydim"
+This optional entry specifies the virtual screen resolution to be used.
+.I xdim
+must be a multiple of either 8 or 16 for most drivers, and a multiple
+of 32 when running in monochrome mode.
+The given value will be rounded down if this is not the case.
+Video modes which are too large for the specified virtual size will be
+rejected.
+If this entry is not present, the virtual screen resolution will be set to
+accommodate all the valid video modes given in the
+.B Modes
+entry.
+Some drivers/hardware combinations do not support virtual screens.
+Refer to the appropriate driver\-specific documentation for details.
+.TP 7
+.BI "ViewPort " "x0 y0"
+This optional entry sets the upper left corner of the initial display.
+This is only relevant when the virtual screen resolution is different
+from the resolution of the initial video mode.
+If this entry is not given, then the initial display will be centered in
+the virtual display area.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Modes \*q" mode\-name \*q " ..."
+This optional entry specifies the list of video modes to use.
+Each
+.I mode\-name
+specified must be in double quotes.
+They must correspond to those specified or referenced in the appropriate
+.B Monitor
+section (including implicitly referenced built\-in VESA standard modes).
+The server will delete modes from this list which don't satisfy various
+requirements.
+The first valid mode in this list will be the default display mode for
+startup.
+The list of valid modes is converted internally into a circular list.
+It is possible to switch to the next mode with
+.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad\-Plus
+and to the previous mode with
+.BR Ctrl+Alt+Keypad\-Minus .
+When this entry is omitted, the valid modes referenced by the appropriate
+.B Monitor
+section will be used. If the
+.B Monitor
+section contains no modes, then the selection will be taken from the
+built-in VESA standard modes.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Visual \*q" visual\-name \*q
+This optional entry sets the default root visual type.
+This may also be specified from the command line (see the
+.BR Xserver(__appmansuffix__)
+man page).

+Some of the latter are described above in the section about the
+.B Screen
+section, and they may also be included here.
+.SH "SERVERLAYOUT SECTION"
+The config file may have multiple
+.B ServerLayout
+sections.
+A \(lqserver layout\(rq represents the binding of one or more screens
+.RB ( Screen
+sections) and one or more input devices
+.RB ( InputDevice
+sections) to form a complete configuration.
+In multi\-head configurations, it also specifies the relative layout of the
+heads.
+A

+.B \-layout
+command line option or by an
+.B "Option \*qDefaultServerLayout\*q"
+entry in the
+.B ServerFlags
+section (the former takes precedence over the latter).
+If those options are not used, the first
+.B ServerLayout
+section found in the config file is considered the active one.
+If no
+.B ServerLayout
+sections are present, the single active screen and two active (core)
+input devices are selected as described in the relevant sections above.
+.PP

+The
+.I screen\-num
+field is optional, and may be used to specify the screen number
+in multi\-head configurations.
+When this field is omitted, the screens will be numbered in the order that
+they are listed in.
+The numbering starts from 0, and must be consecutive.

+relative to the origin of another screen.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+.BI "InputDevice \*q" idev\-id "\*q \*q" option \*q " ..."
+One of these entries should be given for each input device being used in
+a session.
+Normally at least two are required, one each for the core pointer and
+keyboard devices.
+If either of those is missing, suitable
+.B InputDevice
+entries are searched for using the method described above in the

-
-
-<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.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;int xf86MatchDevice(const char *drivername,
- &f.indent;GDevPtr **driversectlist)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
-
- This function takes the name of the driver and returns via
- &s.code;driversectlist&e.code; a list of device sections that
- match the driver name. The function return value is the number
- of matches found. If a fatal error is encountered the return
- value is &s.code;-1&e.code;.
-
- The caller should use &s.code;xfree()&e.code; to free

-
- &s.code;ScrnInfoPtr xf86AllocateScreen(DriverPtr drv, int flags)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function allocates a new &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; in the
- &s.code;xf86Screens[]&e.code; array. This function is normally
- called by the video driver &s.code;ChipProbe()&e.code; functions.
- The return value is a pointer to the newly allocated
- &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;. The &s.code;scrnIndex&e.code;,
- &s.code;origIndex&e.code;, &s.code;module&e.code; and
- &s.code;drv&e.code; fields are initialised. The reference count
- in &s.code;drv&e.code; is incremented. The storage for any
- currently allocated ``privates'' pointers is also allocated and
- the &s.code;privates&e.code; field initialised (the privates data
- is of course not allocated or initialised). This function never
- returns on failure. If the allocation fails, the server exits
- with a fatal error. The flags value is not currently used, and
- should be set to zero.
- </quote>
- </quote>
-
- At the completion of this, a list of &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code;
- have been allocated in the &s.code;xf86Screens[]&e.code; array, and
- the associated entities and fixed resources have been claimed. The
- following &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; fields must be initialised at

-
- <tt>(*)</tt> These are initialised when the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;

-
-<sect1>Matching Screens
-<p>
-
- This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
-
- After the Probe phase is finished, there will be some number of
- &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code;. These are then matched with the active
- &k.screen; sections in the xorg.conf, and those not having an active
- &k.screen; section are deleted. If the number of remaining screens
- is 0, &s.code;InitOutput()&e.code; sets
- &s.code;screenInfo.numScreens&e.code; to &s.code;0&e.code; and
- returns.
-
- At this point the following fields of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code;
- must be initialised:
-
- <quote><verb>
- confScreen
- </verb></quote>
-
-
-<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
- from the Probe phase is processed. This includes checking the extent
- 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
- entities for the next phase.
-
- If any drivers registered an &s.code;EntityInit()&e.code; function
- during the Probe phase, then they are called here.
-
-
-<sect1>Sort the Screens and pre-check Monitor Information
-<p>
-
- This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
-
- The list of screens is sorted to match the ordering requested in the
- config file.
-
- The list of modes for each active monitor is checked against the
- monitor's parameters. Invalid modes are pruned.
-
-
-<sect1>PreInit
-<p>
-
- This is done at the start of the first server generation only.
-
- For each &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;, enable access to the screens entities and call
- the &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; function.
-
- <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.
-
- </quote>
- </quote>
-
- The &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code; for screens where the &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; fails are removed.
- If none remain, &s.code;InitOutput()&e.code; sets &s.code;screenInfo.numScreens&e.code; to &s.code;0&e.code; and returns.
-
- At this point, further fields of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code; would normally be
- filled in. Most are not strictly mandatory, but many are required
- by other layers and/or helper functions that the driver may choose
- to use. The documentation for those layers and helper functions
- indicates which they require.
-
- The following fields of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRecs&e.code; should be filled in if the
- driver is going to use them:

-<sect1>Cleaning up Unused Drivers
-<p>
-
- At this point it is known which screens will be in use, and which
- drivers are being used. Unreferenced drivers (and modules they
- may have loaded) are unloaded here.
-
-
-<sect1>Consistency Checks
-<p>
-
- The parameters that must be global to the server, like pixmap formats,
- bitmap bit order, bitmap scanline unit and image byte order are
- compared for each of the screens. If a mismatch is found, the server
- exits with an appropriate message.
-
-
-<sect1>Check if Resource Control is Needed
-<p>
-
- Determine 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.
-
-<sect1>AddScreen (ScreenInit)
-<p>
-
- At this point, the valid screens are known.
- &s.code;AddScreen()&e.code; is called for each of them, passing
- &s.code;ChipScreenInit()&e.code; as the argument.
- &s.code;AddScreen()&e.code; is a DIX function that allocates a new
- &s.code;screenInfo.screen[]&e.code; entry (aka
- &s.code;pScreen&e.code;), and does some basic initialisation of it.
- It then calls the &s.code;ChipScreenInit()&e.code; function, with
- &s.code;pScreen&e.code; as one of its arguments. If
- &s.code;ChipScreenInit()&e.code; returns &s.code;FALSE&e.code;,
- &s.code;AddScreen()&e.code; returns &s.code;-1&e.code;. Otherwise
- it returns the index of the screen. &s.code;AddScreen()&e.code;
- should only fail because of programming errors or failure to allocate
- resources (like memory). All configuration problems should be
- detected BEFORE this point.

- <quote><p>
- &s.code;Bool ChipScreenInit(int index, ScreenPtr pScreen,

- This is called at the start of each server generation.
-
- Fill in all of &s.code;pScreen&e.code;, possibly doing some of
- this by calling ScreenInit functions from other layers like mi,
- framebuffers (cfb, etc), and extensions.
-
- Decide which operations need to be placed under resource access
- control. The classes of operations are the frame buffer operations
- (&s.code;RAC_FB&e.code;), the pointer operations
- (&s.code;RAC_CURSOR&e.code;), the viewport change operations
- (&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
- &s.code;racIoFlags&e.code; fields of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;
- respectively).
-
- Map any video memory or other memory regions.
-
- Save the video card state. Enough state must be saved so that
- the original state can later be restored.
-
- Initialise the initial video mode. The &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;'s
- &s.code;vtSema&e.code; field should be set to &s.code;TRUE&e.code;
- just prior to changing the video hardware's state.

- </quote>
- </quote>
-
-
- The &s.code;ChipScreenInit()&e.code; function (or functions from other
- layers that it calls) should allocate entries in the
- &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
- following &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; fields are initialised:
-
- <quote><verb>
- pScreen
- racMemFlags
- racIoFlags
- </verb></quote>
-
- The &s.code;ChipScreenInit()&e.code; function should initialise the
- &s.code;CloseScreen&e.code; and &s.code;SaveScreen&e.code; fields
- of &s.code;pScreen&e.code;. The old value of
- &s.code;pScreen->CloseScreen&e.code; should be saved as part of
- the driver's per-screen private data, allowing it to be called from
- &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
- also.
-
- </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>
-
- When a VT switch event is received, &s.code;xf86VTSwitch()&e.code;

-
- <descrip>

- </itemize>
- </descrip>
-
- <quote><p>
- &s.code;Bool ChipEnterVT(int index, int flags)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function should initialise the current video mode and
- initialise the viewport, turn on the HW cursor if appropriate,
- etc.
-
- Should it re-save the video state before initialising the video
- mode?
-
- </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.

-<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>
- Free any driver-allocated data that may have been allocated up to

-
-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:
-

-
-<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>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

-<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.

- &s.code;list&e.code;. If list is &s.code;NULL&e.code; it tries
- to determine the resources automatically. This only works for
- entities that provide a generic way to read out the resource ranges
- 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
- access type it can do so by specifying the access flags in the
- third argument. A value of &s.code;0&e.code; means to use the
- default settings. If for any reason the resource broker is not
- able to register some of the requested resources the function will
- return a pointer to a list of the failed ones. In this case the
- driver may be able to move the resource to different locations.
- In case of PCI bus entities this is done by passing the list of
- failed resources to &s.code;xf86ReallocatePciResources()&e.code;.
- When the registration succeeds, the return value is
- &s.code;NULL&e.code;.

-Two functions are provided to obtain a resource range of a given type:
- <quote><p>
- &s.code;resRange xf86GetBlock(long type, memType size,
- &f.indent;memType window_start, memType window_end,
- &f.indent;memType align_mask, resPtr avoid)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function tries to find a block range of size
- &s.code;size&e.code; and type &s.code;type&e.code; in a window
- bound by &s.code;window_start&e.code; and &s.code;window_end&e.code;
- with the alignment specified in &s.code;align_mask&e.code;.
- Optionally a list of resource ranges which should be avoided within
- the window can be supplied. On failure a zero-length range of
- type &s.code;ResEnd&e.code; will be returned.
-
- </quote>
- &s.code;resRange xf86GetSparse(long type, memType fixed_bits,
- &f.indent;memType decode_mask, memType address_mask,
- &f.indent;resPtr avoid)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function is like the previous one, but attempts to find a
- sparse range instead of a block range. Here three values have to
- be specified: the &s.code;address_mask&e.code; which marks all
- bits of the mask part of the address, the &s.code;decode_mask&e.code;
- which masks out the bits which are hardcoded and are therefore
- not available for relocation and the values of the fixed bits.
- The function tries to find a base that satisfies the given condition.
- If the function fails it will return a zero range of type
- &s.code;ResEnd&e.code;. Optionally it might be passed a list of
- resource ranges to avoid.

-Some PCI devices are broken in the sense that they return invalid size
-information for a certain resource. In this case the driver can supply
-the correct size and make sure that the resource range allocated for
-the card is large enough to hold the address range decoded by the card.
-The function &s.code;xf86FixPciResource()&e.code; can be used to do this:
- <quote><p>
- &s.code;Bool xf86FixPciResource(int entityIndex, unsigned int prt,
- &f.indent;CARD32 alignment, long type)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function fixes a PCI resource allocation. The
- &s.code;prt&e.code; parameter contains the number of the PCI base
- register that needs to be fixed (&s.code;0-5&e.code;, and
- &s.code;6&e.code; for the BIOS base register). The size is
- specified by the alignment. Since PCI resources need to span an
- integral range of size &s.code;2^n&e.code;, the alignment also
- specifies the number of addresses that will be decoded. If the
- driver specifies a type mask it can override the default type for
- PCI resources which is &s.code;ResShared&e.code;. The resource
- broker needs to know that to find a matching resource range. This
- function should be called before calling
- &s.code;xf86RegisterResources()&e.code;. The return value is
- &s.code;TRUE&e.code; when the function succeeds.
-

-
- &s.code;Bool xf86CheckPciMemBase(pciVideoPtr pPci, memType base)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function checks that the memory base address specified matches
- one of the PCI base address register values for the given PCI
- device. This is mostly used to check that an externally provided
- base address (e.g., from a config file) matches an actual value
- allocated to a device.

-The driver may replace the generic access control functions for an entity.
-This is done with the &s.code;xf86SetAccessFuncs()&e.code;:

- 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
- memory access and combined access functions are identical the
- common level assumes that the memory access cannot be controlled
- 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.

- This function checks if the resource range &s.code;rgp&e.code; of

-The OPERATING state properties of previously registered fixed resources
-can be set with the &s.code;xf86SetOperatingState()&e.code; function:
- <quote><p>
- &s.code;resPtr xf86SetOperatingState(resList list, int entityIndex,
- &f.indent;int mask)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function is used to set the status of a resource during
- OPERATING state. &s.code;list&e.code; holds a list to which
- &s.code;mask&e.code; is to be applied. The parameter
- &s.code;mask&e.code; may have the value &s.code;ResUnusedOpr&e.code;
- and &s.code;ResDisableOpr&e.code;. The first one should be used
- if a resource isn't used by the driver during OPERATING state
- although it is decoded by the device, while the latter one indicates
- that the resource is not decoded during OPERATING state. Note
- that the resource ranges have to match those specified during
- registration. If a range has been specified starting at
- &s.code;A&e.code; and ending at &s.code;B&e.code; and suppose
- &s.code;C&e.code; us a value satisfying
- &s.code;A < C < B&e.code; one may not
- specify the resource range &s.code;(A,B)&e.code; by splitting it
- into two ranges &s.code;(A,C)&e.code; and &s.code;(C,B)&e.code;.

-<sect2>ScreenInit Phase
-<p>
-
-All that is required in this phase is to setup the RAC flags. Note that
-it is also permissible to set these flags up in the PreInit phase. The
-RAC flags are held in the &s.code;racIoFlags&e.code; and &s.code;racMemFlags&e.code; fields of the
-&s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; for each screen. They specify which graphics operations
-might require the use of shared resources. This can be specified
-separately for memory and I/O resources. The available flags are defined
-in &s.code;rac/xf86RAC.h&e.code;. They are:
-
- &s.code;RAC_FB&e.code;
- <quote>
- for framebuffer operations (including hw acceleration)
- </quote>
- &s.code;RAC_CURSOR&e.code;

-<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
- &s.code;NULL&e.code; if no match is found.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;char *xf86FindOptionValue(pointer options, const char *name)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- Takes a list of options and an option name, and returns the value
- associated with the first option entry in the list matching the
- name. If the matching option has no value, an empty string
- (&s.code;""&e.code;) is returned. Returns &s.code;NULL&e.code;
- if no match is found.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;void xf86MarkOptionUsed(pointer option)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- Takes a handle for an option, and marks that option as used.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;void xf86MarkOptionUsedByName(pointer options, const char *name)&e.code;

- Takes a list of options and an option name and marks the first

-
-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
- the screen (&s.code;pScrn&e.code;) and return the merged list as
- &s.code;pScrn->options&e.code;. This function requires that
- &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.

- &s.code;void xf86ShowUnusedOptions(int scrnIndex, pointer options)&e.code;

-<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;
-returns &s.code;TRUE&e.code; if the resize was successful. If
-&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.
-

-
-is provided to query the width and height of the largest single

-
- </quote>
- &s.code;PRIORITY_NORMAL&e.code;

-
-
-The function:
-
- <quote>

-
-is provided as an extreme method to free up offscreen memory. This
-will remove all removable &s.code;FBArea&e.code; allocations.
-
-
-Initialization of the XFree86 framebuffer manager is done via
-
- <quote>
- &s.code;Bool xf86InitFBManager(ScreenPtr pScreen, BoxPtr FullBox)&e.code;
- </quote>
-
-&s.code;FullBox&e.code; represents the area of the framebuffer that the
-manager is allowed to manage. This is typically a box with a width of
-&s.code;pScrn->displayWidth&e.code; and a height of as many lines as
-can be fit within the total video memory, however, the driver can reserve
-areas at the extremities by passing a smaller area to the manager.
-
-&s.code;xf86InitFBManager()&e.code; must be called before XAA is
-initialized since XAA uses the manager for it's pixmap cache.
-
-An alternative function is provided to allow the driver to initialize
-the framebuffer manager with a Region rather than a box.
-
- <quote>
- &s.code;Bool xf86InitFBManagerRegion(ScreenPtr pScreen,
- &f.indent;RegionPtr FullRegion)&e.code;
- </quote>
-
-&s.code;xf86InitFBManagerRegion()&e.code;, unlike
-&s.code;xf86InitFBManager()&e.code;, does not remove the area used for
-the visible screen so that area should not be included in the region
-passed to the function. &s.code;xf86InitFBManagerRegion()&e.code; is
-useful when non-contiguous areas are available to be managed, and is
-required when multiple framebuffers are stored in video memory (as in
-the case where an overlay of a different depth is stored as a second
-framebuffer in offscreen memory).

-<sect>Colormap Handling<label id="cmap">
-<p>
-
-A generic colormap handling layer is provided within the XFree86 common
-layer. This layer takes care of most of the details, and only requires
-a function from the driver that loads the hardware palette when required.
-To use the colormap layer, a driver calls the
-&s.code;xf86HandleColormaps()&e.code; function.
-
- <quote><p>
- &s.code;Bool xf86HandleColormaps(ScreenPtr pScreen, int maxColors,
- &f.indent;int sigRGBbits, LoadPaletteFuncPtr loadPalette,
- &f.indent;SetOverscanFuncPtr setOverscan,

- <quote><p>
- This function must be called after the default colormap has been
- initialised. The &s.code;pScrn->gamma&e.code; field must also
- be initialised, preferably by calling &s.code;xf86SetGamma()&e.code;.
- &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
- component in the DAC's palette. &s.code;loadPalette&e.code;
- is a driver-provided function for loading a colormap into the
- hardware, and is described below. &s.code;setOverscan&e.code; is
- 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;
- when it isn't needed. &s.code;flags&e.code; may be set to the
- following (which may be ORed together):
-
- &s.code;CMAP_PALETTED_TRUECOLOR&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- the TrueColor visual is paletted and is
- just a special case of DirectColor.
- This flag is only valid for
- &s.code;bpp > 8&e.code;.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;CMAP_RELOAD_ON_MODE_SWITCH&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- reload the colormap automatically
- after mode switches. This is useful
- for when the driver is resetting the
- hardware during mode switches and
- corrupting or erasing the hardware
- palette.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;CMAP_LOAD_EVEN_IF_OFFSCREEN&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- reload the colormap even if the screen
- is switched out of the server's VC.
- The palette is <it>not</it> reloaded when
- the screen is switched back in, nor after
- mode switches. This is useful when the
- driver needs to keep track of palette
- changes.
-
- </quote>
-
- The colormap layer normally reloads the palette after VT enters so it
- is not necessary for the driver to save and restore the palette
- when switching VTs. The driver must, however, still save the
- initial palette during server start up and restore it during
- server exit.

- &s.code;LoadPalette()&e.code; is a driver-provided function for

- &s.code;SetOverscan()&e.code; is a driver-provided function for
- programming the &s.code;overscan&e.code; index. As described
- above, it is normally only appropriate for LUT modes where all
- colormap entries are available for the display, but where one of
- them is also used for the overscan (typically 8bpp for VGA compatible
- LUTs). It isn't required in cases where the overscan area is

-<sect>DPMS Extension
-<p>
-
-Support code for the DPMS extension is included in the XFree86 common layer.
-This code provides an interface between the main extension code, and a means
-for drivers to initialise DPMS when they support it. One function is
-available to drivers to do this initialisation, and it is always available,
-even when the DPMS extension is not supported by the core server (in
-which case it returns a failure result).
-
-
- <quote><p>
- &s.code;Bool xf86DPMSInit(ScreenPtr pScreen, DPMSSetProcPtr set, int flags)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function registers a driver's DPMS level programming function
- &s.code;set&e.code;. It also checks
- &s.code;pScrn->options&e.code; for the "dpms" option, and when
- present marks DPMS as being enabled for that screen. The
- &s.code;set&e.code; function is called whenever the DPMS level
- changes, and is used to program the requested level.
- &s.code;flags&e.code; is currently not used, and should be
- &s.code;0&e.code;. If the initialisation fails for any reason,
- including when there is no DPMS support in the core server, the
- function returns &s.code;FALSE&e.code;.

-<sect>The XFree86 X Video Extension (Xv) Device Dependent Layer
-<p>
-
-XFree86 offers the X Video Extension which allows clients to treat video
-as any another primitive and ``Put'' video into drawables. By default,
-the extension reports no video adaptors as being available since the
-DDX layer has not been initialized. The driver can initialize the DDX
-layer by filling out one or more &s.code;XF86VideoAdaptorRecs&e.code;
-as described later in this document and passing a list of
-&s.code;XF86VideoAdaptorPtr&e.code; pointers to the following function:
-
- <quote>
- &s.code;Bool xf86XVScreenInit(
- &f.indent;ScreenPtr pScreen,
- &f.indent;XF86VideoAdaptorPtr *adaptPtrs,
- &f.indent;int num)&e.code;
- </quote>
-
-After doing this, the extension will report video adaptors as being
-available, providing the data in their respective
-&s.code;XF86VideoAdaptorRecs&e.code; was valid.
-&s.code;xf86XVScreenInit()&e.code; <em>copies</em> data from the structure
-passed to it so the driver may free it after the initialization. At
-the moment, the DDX only supports rendering into Window drawables.
-Pixmap rendering will be supported after a sufficient survey of suitable
-hardware is completed.

- &s.code;flags&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- 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
- where less than the entire area determined by
- &s.code;drw_x&e.code;, &s.code;drw_y&e.code;,
- &s.code;drw_w&e.code; and &s.code;drw_h&e.code; is visible.
- This flag does not apply to ``Get'' requests. Hardware
- that is incapable of clipping ``Gets'' may punt or get
- 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
- overlay can be awkward since it's unclear how long to leave
- the video up for. When this flag is set, StopVideo will be
- called whenever the destination gets clipped or moved so that
- the still can be left up until then.

- <quote><p>
- The number of ports is the number of separate data streams which
- the adaptor can handle simultaneously. If you have more than
- one port, the adaptor is expected to be able to render into more
- than one window at a time. &s.code;pPortPrivates&e.code; is
- an array of pointers or ints - one for each port. A port's
- private data will be passed to the driver any time the port is
- requested to do something like put the video or stop the video.
- In the case where there may be many ports, this enables the
- driver to know which port the request is intended for. Most
- commonly, this will contain a pointer to the data structure

-<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.
-

-
- &s.code;pointer LoadModule(const char *module, const char *path,
- &f.indent;const char **subdirlist, const char **patternlist,
- &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 default list is also substituted for entries in
- &s.code;subdirlist&e.code; with the value
- &s.code;DEFAULT_LIST&e.code;. This makes is possible
- to augment the default list instead of replacing it.
- Subdir elements must be relative, and must not contain
- &s.code;".."&e.code;. If any violate this requirement,
- the load fails.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;patternlist&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- An optional &s.code;NULL&e.code; terminated list of
- POSIX regular expressions used to connect module
- filenames with canonical module names. Each regex
- should contain exactly one subexpression that corresponds
- to the canonical module name. When &s.code;NULL&e.code;,
- the default built-in list is used (refer to
- &s.code;stdPatterns&e.code; in
- &s.code;loadmod.c&e.code;). The default list is also
- substituted for entries in &s.code;patternlist&e.code;
- with the value &s.code;DEFAULT_LIST&e.code;. This
- makes it possible to augment the default list instead
- of replacing it.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;options&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- An optional parameter that is passed to the newly
- loaded module's &s.code;SetupProc&e.code; function
- (if it has one). This argument is normally a
- &s.code;NULL&e.code; terminated list of
- &s.code;Options&e.code;, and must be interpreted that
- way by modules loaded directly by the XFree86 common
- layer. However, it may be used for application-specific
- parameter passing in other situations.
-
- When loading ``external'' modules (modules that don't
- have the standard entry point, for example a
- special shared library) the options parameter can be
- set to &s.code;EXTERN_MODULE&e.code; to tell the
- loader not to reject the module when it doesn't find
- the standard entry point.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;modreq&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- An optional &s.code;XF86ModReqInfo*&e.code; containing
- version/ABI/vendor information to requirements to
- check the newly loaded module against. The main
- purpose of this is to allow the loader to verify that
- a module of the correct type/version before running
- its &s.code;SetupProc&e.code; function.
-
- The &s.code;XF86ModReqInfo&e.code; struct is defined
- as follows:
-<verb>
-typedef struct {

- CARD8 minorversion; /* MINOR_UNSPEC */
- CARD16 patchlevel; /* PATCH_UNSPEC */
- const char * abiclass; /* ABI_CLASS_NONE */
- CARD32 abiversion; /* ABI_VERS_UNSPEC */
- const char * moduleclass; /* MOD_CLASS_NONE */
-} XF86ModReqInfo;
-</verb>
-
- The information here is compared against the equivalent
- information in the module's
- &s.code;XF86ModuleVersionInfo&e.code; record (which
- is described below). The values in comments above
- indicate ``don't care'' settings for each of the fields.
- The comparisons made are as follows:

- Must match the module's majorversion
- exactly.
-
- </quote>
- &s.code;minorversion&e.code;

-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;majorversion&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- The module-specific major version. For modules where this

- incremented) when ABI incompatibilities are introduced,
- or ABI components are removed.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;minorversion&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- The module-specific minor version. For modules where this
- version is used for more than simply informational

- incremented) when ABI additions are made in a backward
- compatible way. It should be reset to zero when the major
- version is increased.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;patchlevel&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- The module-specific patch level. The patch level should

-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:
-
-<quote>
-<verb>
-typedef struct {
- XF86ModuleVersionInfo * vers;
- ModuleSetupProc setup;
- ModuleTearDownProc teardown;
-} XF86ModuleData;
-</verb>
-</quote>
-
-The vers parameter must be initialised to a pointer to a correctly
-initialised &s.code;XF86ModuleVersionInfo&e.code; struct. The other
-two parameter are optional, and should be initialised to
-&s.code;NULL&e.code; when not required. The other parameters are defined

-
-
- &s.code;pointer SetupProc(pointer module, pointer options,
- &f.indent;int *errmaj, int *errmin)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- When defined, this function is called by the loader after successfully
- loading a module. module is a handle for the newly loaded module,
- and maybe used by the &s.code;SetupProc&e.code; if it calls other
- loader functions that require a reference to it. The remaining
- arguments are those that were passed to the
- &s.code;LoadModule()&e.code; (or &s.code;LoadSubModule()&e.code;),
- and are described above. When the &s.code;SetupProc&e.code; is
- successful it must return a non-&s.code;NULL&e.code; value. The
- loader checks this, and if it is &s.code;NULL&e.code; it unloads
- the module and reports the failure to the caller of
- &s.code;LoadModule()&e.code;. If the &s.code;SetupProc&e.code;
- does things that need to be undone when the module is unloaded,
- it should define a &s.code;TearDownProc&e.code;, and return a
- pointer that the &s.code;TearDownProc&e.code; can use to undo what
- has been done.
-
- When a module is loaded multiple times, the &s.code;SetupProc&e.code;
- is called once for each time it is loaded.
-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;void TearDownProc(pointer tearDownData)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- When defined, this function is called when the loader unloads a
- module. The &s.code;tearDownData&e.code; parameter is the return
- value of the &s.code;SetupProc()&e.code; that was called when the
- module was loaded. The purpose of this function is to clean up
- before the module is unloaded (for example, by freeing allocated
- resources).

- This prints a message and causes the Xserver to abort. It should
- rarely be used within a video driver, as most error conditions
- should be flagged by the return values of the driver functions.
- This allows the higher layers to decide how to proceed. In rare

- &s.code;xf86ErrorFVerb(int verb, const char *format, ...)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- Like &s.code;xf86ErrorF()&e.code;, except the minimum verbosity
- level for which the message is to be printed is given explicitly.
- Passing a &s.code;verb&e.code; value of zero means the message
- is always printed. A value higher than &s.code;1&e.code; can be
- used for information would normally not be needed, but which might
- be useful when diagnosing problems.

- </quote>
-
- &s.code;xf86Msg(MessageType type, const char *format, ...)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This is like &s.code;xf86ErrorF()&e.code;, except that the message
- is prefixed with a marker determined by the value of
- &s.code;type&e.code;. The marker is used to indicate the type of
- message (warning, error, probed value, config value, etc). Note
- the &s.code;xf86Verbose&e.code; value is ignored for messages of
- type &s.code;X_ERROR&e.code;.
-
- The marker values are:
-
- <quote>
- &s.code;X_PROBED&e.code;
- <quote>Value was probed.</quote>
- &s.code;X_CONFIG&e.code;
- <quote>Value was given in the config file.</quote>
- &s.code;X_DEFAULT&e.code;
- <quote>Value is a default.</quote>

-
- </quote>
-
- &s.code;xf86DrvMsg(int scrnIndex, MessageType type, const char *format, ...)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This is like &s.code;xf86Msg()&e.code; except that the driver's
- name (the &s.code;name&e.code; field of the
- &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;) followed by the
- &s.code;scrnIndex&e.code; in parentheses is printed following the
- prefix. This should be used by video drivers in most cases as it
- clearly indicates which driver/screen the message is for. If
- &s.code;scrnIndex&e.code; is negative, this function behaves
- exactly like &s.code;xf86Msg()&e.code;.
-
- NOTE: This function can only be used after the
- &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; and its &s.code;name&e.code; field
- have been allocated. Normally, this means that it can not be
- used before the END of the &s.code;ChipProbe()&e.code; function.
- Prior to that, use &s.code;xf86Msg()&e.code;, providing the
- driver's name explicitly. No screen number can be supplied at
- that point.

- <quote><p>
- This function sets the &s.code;depth&e.code;, &s.code;pixmapBPP&e.code; and &s.code;bitsPerPixel&e.code; fields
- of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;. It also determines the defaults for display-wide
- attributes and pixmap formats the screen will support, and finds
- the Display subsection that matches the depth/bpp. This function
- should normally be called very early from the
- &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; function.
-
- It requires that the &s.code;confScreen&e.code; field of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; be
- initialised prior to calling it. This is done by the XFree86
- common layer prior to calling &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code;.
-
- The parameters passed are:
-
- &s.code;depth&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- driver's preferred default depth if no other is given.
- If zero, use the overall server default.
-
- </quote>

- &s.code;depth24flags&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- Flags that indicate the level of 24/32bpp support
- and whether conversion between different framebuffer

-
- It uses the command line, config file, and default values in the
- correct order of precedence to determine the depth and bpp values.
- It is up to the driver to check the results to see that it supports
- them. If not the &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; function should
- return &s.code;FALSE&e.code;.
-
- If only one of depth/bpp is given, the other is set to a reasonable
- (and consistent) default.
-
- If a driver finds that the initial &s.code;depth24flags&e.code;
- it uses later results in a fb format that requires more video
- memory than is available it may call this function a second time
- with a different &s.code;depth24flags&e.code; setting.
-
- On success, the return value is &s.code;TRUE&e.code;. On failure
- it prints an error message and returns &s.code;FALSE&e.code;.

- &s.code;offset&e.code; and &s.code;rgbBits&e.code; fields of the
- &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;. It would normally be called fairly
- early in the &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; function for
- depths > 8bpp.
-
- It requires that the &s.code;depth&e.code; and
- &s.code;display&e.code; fields of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;
- be initialised prior to calling it.
-
- The parameters passed are:

-
- It requires that the &s.code;depth&e.code; and

- &s.code;Bool xf86SetGamma(ScrnInfoPtr scrp, Gamma gamma)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function sets the &s.code;gamma&e.code; field of the
- &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;. It would normally be called fairly
- early from the &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; function in cases
- where the driver supports gamma correction.
-
- It requires that the &s.code;monitor&e.code; field of the
- &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code; be initialised prior to calling it.
-
- The parameters passed are:
-
- &s.code;gamma&e.code;

-
- &s.code;void xf86SetDpi(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn, int x, int y)&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This function sets the &s.code;xDpi&e.code; and &s.code;yDpi&e.code;
- fields of the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;. The driver can specify
- preferred defaults by setting &s.code;x&e.code; and &s.code;y&e.code;
- to non-zero values. The &s.cmd;-dpi&e.cmd; command line option
- overrides all other settings. Otherwise, if the
- &s.key;DisplaySize&e.key; entry is present in the screen's &k.monitor;
- config file section, it is used together with the virtual size to
- calculate the dpi values. This function should be called after
- all the mode resolution has been done.

- This function fills in the following &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;
- fields:
-
- &s.code;modePool&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- A subset of the modes available to the monitor which
- are compatible with the driver.
-
- </quote>
- &s.code;modes&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- One mode entry for each of the requested modes, with
- the status field of each filled in to indicate if

-
- The first stage of this function checks that the
- &s.code;virtualX&e.code; and &s.code;virtualY&e.code; values
- supplied (if greater than zero) are consistent with the line pitch
- and &s.code;maxHeight&e.code; limitations. If not, an error
- message is printed, and the return value is &s.code;-1&e.code;.
-
- The second stage sets up the mode pool, eliminating immediately
- any modes that exceed the driver's line pitch limits, and also
- the virtual width and height limits (if greater than zero). For
- each mode removed an informational message is printed at verbosity
- level &s.code;2&e.code;. If the mode pool ends up being empty,
- a warning message is printed, and the return value is
- &s.code;0&e.code;.
-
- The final stage is to lookup each mode name, and fill in the remaining
- parameters. If an error condition is encountered, a message is
- printed, and the return value is &s.code;-1&e.code;. Otherwise,
- the return value is the number of valid modes found
- (&s.code;0&e.code; if none are found).
-
- Even if the supplied mode names include duplicates, no two names will
- ever match the same mode. Furthermore, if the supplied mode names do not
- yield a valid mode (including the case where no names are passed at all),
- the function will continue looking through the mode pool until it finds
- a mode that survives all checks, or until the mode pool is exhausted.
-
- A message is only printed by this function when a fundamental
- problem is found. It is intended that this function may be called
- more than once if there is more than one set of constraints that
- the driver can work within.
-
- If this function returns &s.code;-1&e.code;, the
- &s.code;ChipPreInit()&e.code; function should return
- &s.code;FALSE&e.code;.
-
- &s.code;clockRanges&e.code; is a linked list of clock ranges
- allowed by the driver. If a mode doesn't fit in any of the defined
- &s.code;clockRanges&e.code;, it is rejected. The first
- &s.code;clockRange&e.code; that matches all requirements is used.
- This structure needs to be initialized to NULL when allocated.
-
- &s.code;clockRanges&e.code; contains the following fields:
-
- &s.code;minClock&nl;
- maxClock&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- The lower and upper mode clock bounds for which the rest
- of the &s.code;clockRange&e.code; parameters apply.
- Since these are the mode clocks, they are not scaled
- with the &s.code;ClockMulFactor&e.code; and
- &s.code;ClockDivFactor&e.code;. It is up to the driver
- to adjust these values if they depend on the clock
- scaling factors.
-
- </quote>
- &s.code;clockIndex&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- (not used yet) &s.code;-1&e.code; for programmable clocks

- &s.code;doubleScanAllowed&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- &s.code;TRUE&e.code; if doublescan or multiscan is allowed
- for this range
-
- </quote>
- &s.code;ClockMulFactor&nl;
- ClockDivFactor&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- Scaling factors that are applied to the mode clocks ONLY
- before selecting a clock index (when there is no
- programmable clock) or a &s.code;SynthClock&e.code;
- value. This is useful for drivers that support pixel
- multiplexing or that need to scale the clocks because
- of hardware restrictions (like sending 24bpp data to an
- 8 bit RAMDAC using a tripled clock).
-
- Note that these parameters describe what must be done
- to the mode clock to achieve the data transport clock
- between graphics controller and RAMDAC. For example
- for &s.code;2:1&e.code; pixel multiplexing, two pixels
- are sent to the RAMDAC on each clock. This allows the
- RAMDAC clock to be half of the actual pixel clock.
- Hence, &s.code;ClockMulFactor=1&e.code; and
- &s.code;ClockDivFactor=2&e.code;. This means that the
- clock used for clock selection (ie, determining the
- correct clock index from the list of discrete clocks)
- or for the &s.code;SynthClock&e.code; field in case of
- a programmable clock is: (&s.code;mode->Clock *
- ClockMulFactor) / ClockDivFactor&e.code;.
-
- </quote>
- &s.code;PrivFlags&e.code;
- <quote><p>
- This field is copied into the
- &s.code;mode->PrivFlags&e.code; field when this
- &s.code;clockRange&e.code; is selected by
- &s.code;xf86ValidateModes()&e.code;. It allows the
- driver to find out what clock range was selected, so it
- knows it needs to set up pixel multiplexing or any other
- range-dependent feature. This field is purely
- driver-defined: it may contain flag bits, an index or
- anything else (as long as it is an &s.code;INT&e.code;).
- </quote>
-

- This function should be called after a &s.code;vgaHWRec&e.code;

- This function initialises the register access function fields of

- no need to call this explicitly. The register access functions

- can be used to access the shadowed registers if
- &s.code;hwp->PIOOffset&e.code; is initialised with
- &s.code;offset&e.code;, calculated in such a way that when the
- standard VGA I/O port value is added to it the correct offset into
- the PIO area results. This value is initialised to zero in

- &s.code;hwp->MMIOBase&e.code; is initialised with
- &s.code;base&e.code;, which must be the virtual address that the
- start of MMIO area is mapped to. &s.code;hwp->MMIOOffset&e.code;
- is initialised with &s.code;offset&e.code;, which must be calculated
- in such a way that when the standard VGA I/O port value is added
- to it the correct offset into the MMIO area results. That means
- that these functions are only suitable when the VGA I/O ports are
- made available in a direct mapping to the MMIO space. If that is
- not the case, the driver will need to provide its own register

- non-default &s.code;MapPhys&e.code; or &s.code;MapSize&e.code;
- settings (the physical location and size of the VGA memory window)
- then those fields of the &s.code;vgaHWRec&e.code; must be initialised

-<sect1>VGA Colormap Functions

- The vgahw module uses the standard colormap support (see the
- <ref id="cmap" name="Colormap Handling"> section. This is initialised

-
-<sect1>VGA Register Access Functions
-<p>
-
- The vgahw module abstracts access to the standard VGA registers by
- using a set of functions held in the &s.code;vgaHWRec&e.code;. When
- the &s.code;vgaHWRec&e.code; is created these function pointers are
- initialised with the set of standard VGA I/O register access functions.
- In addition to these, the vgahw module includes a basic set of MMIO
- 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)

-
- /* 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;

- 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>

-
- Define the &s.code;AvailableOptions()&e.code; function. The purpose

-
- NOTES:
- <enum>
- <item>The &s.code;PreInit()&e.code; function is only called once
- during the life of the X server (at the start of the first
- generation).
-
- <item>Data allocated here must be of the type that persists for
- the life of the X server. This means that data that hooks into
- the &s.code;ScrnInfoRec&e.code;'s &s.code;privates&e.code;
- field should be allocated here, but data that hooks into the
- &s.code;ScreenRec&e.code;'s &s.code;devPrivates&e.code; field
- should not be allocated here. The &s.code;driverPrivate&e.code;
- field should also be allocated here.
-
- <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
- initialised when this function is called. It is important to
- get the order of doing things right in this function.

+ <title>Preface</title>
+
+ <para>
+This document was originally the design spec for the DDX layer of the
+XFree86 4.0 X server. The X.Org Foundation adopted the XFree86 4.4rc2
+version of that server as the basis of the Xorg server project, and has
+evolved the XFree86 DDX layer greatly since forking. This document thus
+covers only the current implementation of the XFree86 DDX as found in the
+Xorg server &xserver.version; release, and no longer matches the XFree86
+server itself.

+ <para>
+While the XFree86 project had a goal of avoiding changes to the DIX
+layer unless they found major deficiencies there, to avoid divergence from
+the X.Org sample implementation they were integrating changes from, the
+X.Org developers now maintain both sides, and make changes where they are
+most appropriate. This document concentrates on the XFree86 DDX layer used
+in the Xorg server itself (the code found in <filename>hw/xfree86</filename>
+in the source tree), and developers will also want to refer to the

+
+ <para>
+ The &k.device; sections are similar to what they used to be, and

+ &k.device;
+ Some new keywords are added:
+
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry><term>Driver "drivername"</term>
+ <listitem><para>

+ <varlistentry><term>BusID "busslot"</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ 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".

+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>&k.screen; section</title>
+
+ <para>
+ 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 <quote>active</quote>
+ if there is a reference to it either from the command line, or from
+ an active &k.serverlayout; section.

+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>&k.inputdevice; section</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The &k.inputdevice; section is a new section that describes
+ configuration information for input devices. It replaces the old
+ <emphasis>Keyboard</emphasis>, <emphasis>Pointer</emphasis> and <emphasis>XInput</emphasis>
+ sections. Like the &k.device; section, it has two mandatory keywords:
+ &k.identifier; and &k.driver;. For compatibility purposes the old
+ <emphasis>Keyboard</emphasis> and <emphasis>Pointer</emphasis> sections are
+ converted by the parser into &k.inputdevice; sections as follows:
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry><term><emphasis>Keyboard</emphasis></term>
+ <listitem><literallayout>
+ &k.identifier; "Implicit Core Keyboard"
+ &k.driver; "keyboard"

+ <listitem><literallayout>
+ &k.identifier; "Implicit Core Pointer"
+ &k.driver; "mouse"
+ </literallayout></listitem></varlistentry>
+ </variablelist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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 <option>-screen</option> 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.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>&k.serverlayout; section</title>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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:
+
+ <programlisting>
+ Section "ServerLayout"
+ Identifier "Main Layout"
+ Screen 0 "Screen 1" "" "" "" "Screen 2"
+ Screen 1 "Screen 2"
+ Screen "Screen 3"
+ EndSection
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The preferred way of specifying the layout is to explicitly specify
+ the screen's location in absolute terms or relative to another
+ screen.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In the absolute case, the upper left corner's coordinates are given
+ after the <emphasis>Absolute</emphasis> keyword. If the coordinates are
+ omitted, a value of <code>(0,0)</code> is assumed. An example
+ of absolute positioning follows:
+
+ <programlisting>
+ 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
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In the relative case, the position is specified by either using one of
+ the following keywords followed by the name of the reference screen:
+
+ <simplelist type='vert' columns='1'>
+ <member><emphasis>RightOf</emphasis></member>
+ <member><emphasis>LeftOf</emphasis></member>
+ <member><emphasis>Above</emphasis></member>
+ <member><emphasis>Below</emphasis></member>
+ <member><emphasis>Relative</emphasis></member>
+ </simplelist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When the <emphasis>Relative</emphasis> 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.
+
+ <programlisting>
+ 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
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Options</title>
+
+ <para>
+ 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

+ <title>Driver Interface</title>
+
+ <para>
+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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+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 <quote>helper</quote> 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.

+ <title>Resource Access Control Introduction</title>
+
+ <para>
+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.

+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>Bus</title>
+
+ <para>
+ <quote>Bus</quote> 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). <quote>Bus</quote> 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.

+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>Entity</title>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>

+ <title>Resource</title>
+

+ <quote>Resource</quote> refers to a range of memory or I/O addresses an entity
+ can decode.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If the entity is capable of decoding this range at a different
+ location this resource is considered relocatable.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Resources which start at a specific address and occupy a single
+ continuous range are called block resources.
+ </para>

+ Alternatively resource addresses can be decoded in a way that they
+ satisfy the conditions:
+ <programlisting>

+ <title>Server States</title>

+ 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.

+ When a mode validation helper supplied by the XFree86-common layer is

+ </para></blockquote>
+
+ <para>
+This function may also modify the effective timings and clock of the passed
+mode. These have been stored in the mode's <structfield>Crtc*</structfield> and
+<structfield>SynthClock</structfield> 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 <function>xf86PrintModes()</function>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+The function is called once for every mode in the xorg.conf Monitor section
+assigned to the screen, with <parameter>flags</parameter> set to
+<constant>MODECHECK_INITIAL</constant>. It is subsequently called for every mode
+in the xorg.conf Display subsection assigned to the screen, with
+<parameter>flags</parameter> set to <constant>MODECHECK_FINAL</constant>. In the second
+case, the mode will have successfully passed all other tests. In addition,
+the <structname>ScrnInfoRec</structname>'s <structfield>virtualX</structfield>,

+set as if the mode to be validated were to be the last mode accepted.

+In effect, calls with MODECHECK_INITIAL are intended for checks that do not

+
+ <para>
+The XFree86 common layer's screen specific data (the actual data in use
+for each screen) is held in the <varname>ScrnInfoRecs</varname>. As has
+been outlined above, the <varname>ScrnInfoRecs</varname> are allocated at probe
+time, and it is the responsibility of the Drivers' <function>Probe()</function>
+and <function>PreInit()</function> functions to finish filling them in based

+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

+Per-screen driver specific data that cannot be accommodated with the
+static <structname>ScrnInfoRec</structname> fields is held in a driver-defined

+is per-screen data that persists across server generations (as does the

+Per-screen data for other modules that the driver uses (for example,

+ <para>
+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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+When the <function>Probe()</function> 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
+<function>Probe()</function> 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 <function>EntityInit()</function>,
+<function>EntityLeave()</function> and <function>EntityEnter()</function> function.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+<function>EntityInit()</function> 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 <function>EntityInit()</function>,
+<function>EntityEnter()</function> and <function>EntityLeave()</function> 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
+<function>EntityInit()</function> or <function>EntityEnter()</function> 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 <constant>ResInit</constant>
+so that they can be removed from the resource list after processing all
+<function>EntityInit()</function> functions. <function>EntityEnter()</function>
+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 <function>EntityInit()</function> 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.
+<function>EntityLeave()</function> 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+In <function>PreInit()</function> phase each driver should check if any
+sharable resources it has registered during <function>Probe()</function> has
+been denied and take appropriate action which could simply be to fail.
+If it needs to access resources it has disabled during
+<function>EntitySetup()</function> it can do so provided it has registered
+these and will disable them before returning from
+<function>PreInit()</function>. 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 <quote>disabled</quote> or
+<quote>unused</quote> during OPERATING stage. Although these steps could also be
+performed in <function>ScreenInit()</function>, this is not desirable.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+Following <function>PreInit()</function> 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
+<function>ScreenInit()</function> 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+When <function>ScreenInit()</function> phase is done the common level will

+ stage. Since the replacement functions are registered in
+ <function>PreInit()</function> the driver will have to enable these

+Option entries are permitted in most sections and subsections of the

+ <varlistentry><term>Option "option-name"</term>
+ <listitem><para>

+
+ <para>
+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

+data.

+A <parameter>MoveAreaCallback</parameter> can be provided to notify the requester
+when the offscreen area is moved. If no <parameter>MoveAreaCallback</parameter>

+ <title>The Loader</title>
+
+ <para>
+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.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Loader Overview</title>
+
+ <para>
+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 <function>dlopen(3)</function> service where
+available. Such modules are not platform independent, and the semantics
+of <function>dlopen()</function> on most systems results in significant
+limitations in the use of modules of this type. Support for
+<function>dlopen()</function> modules in the loader is primarily for
+experimental and development purposes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+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.

+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).
+ </para>

+ <para>
+The information here is based on the initial conversion of the Matrox
+Millennium driver to the <quote>new design</quote>. For a fleshing out and sample

+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
