<title>Introduction to the X11R&relvers; Release</title>

<para>
|
|
This release is the &whichfullrel; modular release of the
|
|
<productname>X Window System</productname>.
|
|
The next full release will be X11R&nextrelvers; and is expected in
|
|
&nextfullreldate;.

|
|
<para>
|
|
Unlike X11R1 through X11R6.9, X11R7.x releases are not built from one
|
|
monolithic source tree, but many individual modules. These modules
|
|
are distributed as individual source code releases, and each one is
|
|
released when it is ready, instead of only when the overall window
|
|
system is ready for release. The X11R7.x releases are made by
|
|
“rolling up” the individual module releases into a
|
|
collection that is often affectionately called the
|
|
“<foreignphrase>katamari</foreignphrase>” by the developers.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The X11R&relvers; release does not include all of the software
|
|
formerly included in the previous X Window System releases.
|
|
It is designed to be a reasonable baseline from which to start
|
|
when building the window system for the first time for a new
|
|
installation, distribution, or package set. It does not provide
|
|
a full desktop environment, expecting a more feature rich set of
|
|
applications to be installed from one of the several excellent
|
|
desktop environments available for the X Window System. The
|
|
X.Org developers continue to maintain and produce new releases
|
|
of much of the software that was formerly in the main window
|
|
system releases but is no longer included in the katamari
|
|
releases, including many of the Athena Widgets desktop
|
|
applications that were provided as samples in previous window
|
|
system versions.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once their window system build is established, most builders watch for
|
|
announcements of individual module updates on the <ulink
|
|
url="http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-announce"
|
|
>xorg-announce mailing list</ulink> and update to those as needed.
|
|
The X.Org Foundation currently releases the X Window System
|
|
katamari releases approximately once a year, but many modules,
|
|
especially the X servers and drivers, are updated more frequently
|
|
between those releases.

The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system.
|
|
X11 refers to the version of the network protocol that the X Window
|
|
system is based on: Version 11 was first released in 1988 and has been
|
|
stable for nearly 25 years, with only upward compatible additions to the core X
|
|
protocol, a record of stability envied in computing. Formal releases of
|
|
X started with X version 9 from MIT; the first commercial X products
|
|
were based on X version 10. The MIT X Consortium and its successors,
|
|
the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.Org Group
|
|
released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6. Since the founding of the
|
|
X.Org Foundation in early 2004, many further releases have been
|
|
issued, from X11R6.7 to the current &relvers;.

modernization - the rest of the library and protocol specifications
|

have been converted to DocBook XML from the variety of formats they

were previously in, and support for cross-linking between documents
|

hase been added. On most systems these documents will be

<firstterm>Fence</firstterm> objects are now available in Version

(<quote>Sync</quote>) extension</olink>. These allow clients
|
|
to create a object that is either in <quote>triggered</quote>
|
|
or <quote>not-triggered</quote> state, and to perform actions
|
|
when the object becomes triggered. When a client requests a
|
|
fence be triggered, the X server will first complete all rendering
|
|
from previous requests that affects resources owned by the fence's
|
|
screen before changing the state, so that clients may synchronize
|
|
with such rendering. Support for these has been added to both
|
|
the <filename class="libraryfile">libxcb-sync</filename> and
|
|
<filename class="libraryfile">libXext</filename> API's.

<firstterm>Pointer barriers</firstterm> were added by X Fixes

extension Version 5.0. Compositing managers and desktop

environments may have UI elements in particular screen locations
|
|
such that for a single-headed display they correspond to easy
|
|
targets, for example, the top left corner. For a multi-headed
|
|
environment these corners should still be semi-impermeable.
|
|
Pointer barriers allow the application to define additional
|
|
constraint on cursor motion so that these areas behave as
|
|
expected even in the face of multiple displays.

have allocated in the X server, to allow better observability

extensions. This work is not yet complete in this release,

On most platforms, X11R&relvers; has a single hardware-driving
|
|
X server binary called <command>Xorg</command>. This binary can
|
|
dynamically load the video drivers, input drivers, and other modules
|
|
that are needed.
|
|
|
|
<command>Xorg</command> currently has support for Linux, Solaris,
|
|
and some BSD OSs on Alpha, PowerPC, IA-64, AMD64, Intel x86, Sparc,
|
|
and MIPS platforms.

The Xorg server relies on the operating system's native
|
|
module loader support for handling program modules. The X
|
|
server makes use of modules for video drivers, X server
|

extensions, input device drivers, framebuffer layers, and
|
|
internal components used by some drivers (like XAA & EXA).

The module interfaces (both API and ABI) used in this release are
|
|
subject to change without notice. While we will attempt to provide
|
|
backward compatibility for the module interfaces in stable releases,
|
|
we cannot guarantee this. Compatibility in the other direction is
|
|
explicitly not guaranteed because new modules may rely on interfaces
|
|
added in new releases, nor is compatibility across stable release
|
|
branches (such as between Xorg 1.11 and 1.12).

<title>Note about module security</title>

<para>The Xorg server runs with root privileges, so

the Xorg server loadable modules also run with these privileges.

For this reason we recommend that all users be careful to only

use loadable modules from reliable sources, otherwise the
|
|
introduction of malware and contaminated code can occur and
|
|
wreak havoc on your system.

The Xorg server uses a configuration file as the primary mechanism
|
|
for providing configuration and run-time parameters. The configuration

file format is described in detail in the <ulink url="xorg.conf.5.html">
|
|
xorg.conf(5)</ulink> manual page.

Note that this release features significant improvements
|
|
for running the server without a configuration file, so many users
|
|
may find that that they don't need a configuration file, or may
|
|
rely on just snippets of configuration placed in the
|
|
<filename class="directory">xorg.conf.d</filename> directory.

If you do need to customize the configuration file, see the <ulink

the Xorg server itself. Run as root:

One of the main problems is with drivers not sufficiently

initializing cards that were not initialized at boot time. This
|
|
has been improved somewhat with the INT10 support that is used by
|
|
most drivers (which allows secondary card to be "soft-booted", but
|
|
in some cases there are other issues that still need to be
|
|
resolved. Some combinations can be made to work better by changing
|
|
which card is the primary card (either by using a different PCI
|
|
slot, or by changing the system BIOS's preference for the primary
|
|
card).

<firstterm>Xinerama</firstterm> is an X server extension that

allows multiple physical screens connected to multiple video devices

to behave as a single screen. With traditional multi-head in X11,

windows cannot span or cross physical screens. Xinerama removes this

limitation. Xinerama does, however, require that the physical screens

all have the same root depth, so it isn't possible, for example, to use

|
an 8-bit screen together with a 16-bit screen in Xinerama mode.

Partial or complete DDC support is available in most of the video

<title>Changed behavior in handling information from DDC</title>
|

|
|
<para>
|
|
The X server previously used DDC information to detect screen
|
|
size and pitch, and compute DPI automatically, allowing fonts
|
|
and other UI elements to automatically scale to appropriate
|
|
sizes. This mechanism worked reasonably well for many
|
|
single-monitor cases, but did not compute accurate DPI values
|
|
for multi-monitor cases or less common single-display setups.
|
|
Thus, this autodetection has been removed, and the X server no
|
|
longer tries to compute an appropriate DPI value. All users
|
|
wanting fonts, physical measurement units, and other UI elements
|
|
scaled appropriately for their display (including users for whom
|
|
autodetection previously worked) must now set DPI or some other
|
|
scaling factor explicitly, either via the X server's
|
|
<option>-dpi</option> option, a DPI setting in their graphical
|
|
enironment, or an alternate scaling mechanism provided by their
|
|
environment.

Of note is that this release supports building the X server using

|
the system-wide libdrm. Previously, drm was kept in the server's
|
|
tree and loaded as a module, rather than using the standard OS
|
|
mechanisms for managing shared libraries of code. This requires
|
|
that the server be built using a version of libdrm of 2.3.0 or
|
|
newer if it is to use DRM.

The keysym <keysym>XF86Ungrab</keysym> forces the X server

an active grab when it is pressed. These keystrokes are

intended to allow developers to debug clients which are not

properly releasing grabs or have problems occur while input is

grabbed. Since grabs are a fundamental part of the X

client security model, these keystrokes come with risks, such

Previous versions of X came with two Postscript Type1 font

The CID-keyed font format was designed by Adobe Systems for

fonts with large character sets. The CID-keyed format is

obsolete, as it has been superseded by other formats such as
|

OpenType/CFF and support for CID-keyed fonts has been removed

from X11.

<para>
|
|
Most of the modules in this release use stricter compiler flags
|
|
when building with the GNU gcc, LLVM clang, Oracle Solaris Studio,
|
|
or Intel compilers. These flags both enable more warnings, and
|
|
promote some warnings to fatal errors in the build. If these
|
|
flags cause your build to fail, you can disable the flags that
|
|
turn these selected warnings into errors by adding
|
|
<option>--disable-selective-werror</option> to the configure command
|
|
for the affected module. If that is necessary for any X.Org modules,
|
|
please report a bug in the xorg product on
|
|
<ulink url="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/" />.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Builders seeking even stricter compiler checks can instead pass
|
|
<option>--enable-strict-compilation</option> to the configure command
|
|
to make all warnings become errors.

Most of the modules in this release use the

<function>AM_SILENT_RULES</function> option of GNU automake 1.11.
|
|
When building the software, most output will show an abbreviated
|
|
format for the commands being run, such as:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
CC xmen.o
|
|
</screen>
|
|
To enable verbose output, showing all the arguments to the commands
|
|
being run, add the flag <option>V=1</option> to the
|
|
<command>make</command> command line or add the flag
|
|
<option>--disable-silent-rules</option> to the configure command.

<title>Socket directory ownership and permissions</title>

|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The socket directories created in <filename>/tmp</filename>
|
|
are now required to be owned by root and have their sticky-bit
|
|
set. If the permissions are not set correctly, the component
|
|
using this directory will print an error message and fail to
|
|
start. Common socket directories that are known to be
|
|
affected include:
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
/tmp/.font-unix
|
|
/tmp/.ICE-unix
|
|
/tmp/.X11-unix
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
These directories are used by the font server
|
|
(<command>xfs</command>), applications using the Inter-Client
|
|
Exchange protocol (<acronym>ICE</acronym>) and the X server,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
There are several solutions to the problem of when to create these
|
|
directories. They could be created at install time by the system's
|
|
installer if the <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> dir is
|
|
persistent. They could be created at boot time by the system's
|
|
boot scripts (e.g., the <filename class="directory" >init.d</filename>
|
|
scripts). Or, they could be created by PAM modules at service
|
|
startup or user login time.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The solution chosen is platform dependent, and the system administrator
|
|
should be able to handle creating those directories on any systems that
|
|
do not have the correct ownership or permissions.

<para>
|
|
This section lists current plans for removal of obsolete or deprecated
|
|
components in the X.Org releases. As our releases are open source,
|
|
users who continue to require these can find the source in previous
|
|
releases and continue to use these, but the X.Org Foundation and its
|
|
volunteers have decided the burden of continued maintenance and
|
|
distribution in the core X11 releases outweighs the benefits of doing
|
|
so. In some cases, this is simply because no one has volunteered to do
|
|
continued maintenance, so if software is listed here that you need, you
|
|
can contact <email>xorg-devel@lists.x.org</email> to volunteer to
|
|
take over maintainership, either inside or outside of the Xorg release
|
|
process.

Xorg server 1.4 started using the <ulink

framework</ulink> to discover connected input devices,

|
receive notification of hotplug events for them, and to

retrieve configuration parameters for them. The HAL

maintainers have since deprecated HAL, so the X.Org developers

have begun replacement with alternatives. As a result,

configuration of input devices via HAL
|
|
<filename>*.fdi</filename> files is no longer supported
|

on Linux platforms using udev, and may not be supported
|

on other platforms in future Xorg server releases.
