Change logs for xorg source package in Hardy

  • xorg (1:7.3+10ubuntu10.2) hardy-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * Replaced -amd with -geode in debian/scripts/vars.i386 (LP: #219630).

      * dexconf:
        - The output of cat /proc/fb on 2.6.24 is "0 ps3fb". Dexconf was
          searching for "PS3" and was therefore failing to detect the platform
          correctly. (LP: #230091)

      * dexconf, failsafeDexconf: Revert back to using "mouse" by default, and
        use vmmouse_detect to determine if the system is a virtual machine and
        if yes, use vmmouse and set the device path. (LP: #216667, #216276)

          + Add "xserver-xorg-driver-all" transitional package to make
            dapper->hardy upgrades work.
        - control, rules:

            disk/livecd space.
          + Symlink the doc directories to x11-common, explicitly remove the

            handles this itself.

      * vars.{i386,amd64}: add openchrome.
    
    xorg (1:7.3+10) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Just write a default video card identifier
      * Only run driver autodetection on sparc hardware
        All other archictectures should be better supported by having the server
        do it at startup.
        Closes: #442892, #448845, #410889, #443397, #242952, #271599
        + Remove discover and discover1 from the xserver-xorg recommends
        + Remove autodetect_video_card and multiple_possible_x-driver templates
      * Don't ask the bus ID question to anyone who it's not necessary for
        Hardcoding the bus ID is bad. The server already uses the same algorithm
        and more to figure out which PCI ID's have video cards, so don't replicate
        it. Currently we only ask people who have ppc, SGI indigos, and multiple
        heads on sparc.
      * Don't write the DPMS option to the monitor section of xorg.conf.
        The xserver already defaults to enabling DPMS

      * Deregister old debconf questions before calling dexconf.  dexconf calls
        db_stop, and we can't use debconf after that.  Add a comment to that
        effect above the dexconf call in debian/xserver-xorg.postinst.in, to try
        to prevent future mistakes.  Thanks, Michael Vogt!

      * Fix "no video driver modules found" message, thanks Robert Millan,
        closes: #453930.

        closes: #456925.
    
      [ David Nusinow ]
      * Don't force fbdev on mac mini ppc any more. The ati driver no longer uses
        fbdev, and it has been reported to work on mac minis without it.
      * Add support for $HOME/.xsessionrc. Closes: #411639
        This file, if present, will get sourced during the start of your X
        session. This allows you to set session-wide environment variables easily
        for things like locale information. Patch adapted from one by Yves-Alexis
        Perez. Thanks also to Holger Levsen and Osamu Aoki for advice.
        + Adds 40x11-common_xsessionrc to /etc/X11/Xsession.d
        + Document this in Xsession.5 manpage
        + Add a NEWS.Debian entry about it
        + Modifies /etc/X11/Xsession to declare the location of ~/.xsessionrc.
          Custom versions of Xsession (like gdm's) will need an update
      * Use run-parts --list instead of a custom run_parts function.
        Thanks Vagrant Cascadi for the patch. Closes: #458345, #457606

      * xserver-xorg.postinst.in: Narrow down the drivers to filter from the list,
        because otherwise radeonhd would not be selectable.
        (Closes: #446441, LP: #174311)
    
      [ David Nusinow ]
      * Don't write the default depth to xorg.conf any more.
        The drivers should choose the appropriate depth by default now.
      * Don't bother with resolutions in xorg.conf
        We now rely on the server and drivers to do the right thing. Previously,
        our best-case scenario was to have the xserver-xorg postinstall script ask
        the monitor what the optimal values were, and if that wasn't possible to
        give the user a default list of resolutions and a best-guess hsync and
        vrefresh values that the user could override. The server and almost all
        drivers will do this on boot anyway using properly maintained code, which
        allows them to better adapt to changes. randr 1.2-compliant drivers will
        do this even better than we possibly could. Finally, the server will
        provide a better list of defaults than we were doing anyway. There will
        undoubtedly be bugs uncovered by this change, but we need  to find and fix
        the actual bugs in the drivers and server in order to move forward.
        + Don't recommend xresprobe any more
        + Don't recommend laptop-detect any more or look for it in server postinst
      * Don't set fbdev in the postinst for r128 on ppc.
        The driver will do this automatically if no option is specified by the user
      * Allow cross-building. Thanks Neil Williams. Closes: #451293
      * Bump standards version to 3.7.3.0. No changes needed.

            with gdm anyway since gdm cleans the file on login).
        - xserver-xorg.postinst.in:
          + Make sure to ask video driver on sparc even if autodetected. Some
            cards still require weird overrides (ati -> fbdev) that are not
            100% known in all combinations.
          + Skip video card autodetection if xforcevesa is set.

  • xorg (1:7.3+6ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low
    
      * Merge with Debian unstable, remaining changes:
        - apport/xorg-server.py, debian/x11-common.install:
          + apport hook for xorg-server crashes
        - local/Failsafe/*, x11-common.install:
          + Bulletproof-X.
        - control:
          + Change maintainer address.
          + xserver-xorg: Recommends displayconfig-gtk
          + Move xorg-docs Recommends to Suggests, because xorg-docs is in
            universe.
        - control, rules:
          + Add a dependency to x11-common for each binary built to save
            disk/livecd space.
          + Symlink the doc directories to x11-common, explicitly remove the
            doc directories on upgrade for the now symlinked doc directories.
        - control, rules, vars.sparc:
          + Make xorg Architecture: any and use an extra variable to not
            Depends on type-handling.
          + Drop dependency on "sparc-utils | not+sparc"
        - local/xserver-wrapper.c:
          + Stop handling -config specifically in the wrapper, as Xorg now
            handles this itself.
        - local/dexconf, control:
          + Added support for vmmouse_detect (if present) to override mouse
            driver with vmware. Depends on mdetect.
        - local/dexconf:
          + Add extra bits for ps3fb xorg.conf.
        - local/dexconf, xserver-xorg.templates:
          + Read xserver-xorg/config/device/extra_options key, parse it
            (first token is option name, rest of the line after first space
            is value), and add it as Option lines to the device section.
        - scripts/vars.{amd64,i386}:
          + Install both xserver-xorg-video-intel AND xserver-xorg-video-i810,
            instead of OR.
        - scripts/vars.i386:
          + Add xserver-xorg-video-amd and xserver-xorg-video-psb.
        - scripts/vars.lpia:
          + Copied from vars.i386.
        - local/Xsession:
          + If ~/.xsession-errors is bigger than 0.5MiB, truncate it to the last
            0.5MiB to avoid having it grow indefinitively. (This does not happen
            with gdm anyway since gdm cleans the file on login).
        - xserver-xorg.postinst.in:
          + Make sure to ask video driver on sparc even if autodetected. Some
            cards still require weird overrides (ati -> fbdev) that are not
            100% known in all combinations.
          + Skip video card autodetection if xforcevesa is set.
      * Bring back old changelog entries.
