34    <title>Introduction to the X11R&relvers; Release</title>
35
36    <para>
37      X11R&relvers; was the &whichfullrel; modular release of the
38      <productname>X Window System</productname>.
39    </para>
40
41    <para>
42      Unlike X11R1 through X11R6.9, X11R7.x releases were not built from one
43      monolithic source tree, but many individual modules.   These modules
44      are distributed as individual source code releases, and each one is
45      released when it is ready, instead of only when the overall window
46      system is ready for release.  The X11R7.x releases were made by
47      &ldquo;rolling up&rdquo; the individual module releases into a
48      collection that is often affectionately called the
49      &ldquo;<foreignphrase>katamari</foreignphrase>&rdquo; by the developers.
50    </para>
51
52    <para>
53      The X11R&relvers; release does not include all of the software
54      formerly included in the previous X Window System releases.
55      It is designed to be a reasonable baseline from which to start
56      when building the window system for the first time for a new
57      installation, distribution, or package set.  It does not provide
58      a full desktop environment, expecting a more feature rich set of
59      applications to be installed from one of the several excellent
60      desktop environments available for the X Window System.  The
61      X.Org developers continue to maintain and produce new releases
62      of much of the software that was formerly in the main window
63      system releases but is no longer included in the katamari
64      releases, including many of the Athena Widgets desktop
65      applications that were provided as samples in previous window
66      system versions.
67    </para>
68
69    <para>
70      Once their window system build is established, most builders watch for
71      announcements of individual module updates on the <ulink
72	url="https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-announce"
73	>xorg-announce mailing list</ulink> and update to those as needed.
74    </para>
75
76    <para>
77      There are no plans for any further
78      &ldquo;<foreignphrase>katamari</foreignphrase>&rdquo; releases of the
79      X Window System at this time, only releases of the individual modules
80      are planned for now.

100The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system.
101X11 refers to the version of the network protocol that the X Window
102system is based on: Version 11 was first released in 1988 and has been
103stable for nearly 25 years, with only upward compatible additions to the core X
104protocol, a record of stability envied in computing.  Formal releases of
105X started with X version 9 from MIT; the first commercial X products
106were based on X version 10.  The MIT X Consortium and its successors,
107the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.Org Group
108released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6.  Since the founding of the
109X.Org Foundation in early 2004, many further releases have been
110issued, from X11R6.7 to the current module releases.

181	    modernization - the rest of the library and protocol specifications
182	    have been converted to DocBook XML from the variety of formats they
183	    were previously in, and support for cross-linking between documents
184	    hase been added.  On most systems these documents will be
185	    installed under <filename>/usr/share/doc/</filename>.  They
186	    are also posted on the X.Org website at

193            <firstterm>Fence</firstterm> objects are now available in Version
194            3.1 of the <olink targetdoc="sync" targetptr="sync">Synchronization
195            (<quote>Sync</quote>) extension</olink>.   These allow clients
196            to create a object that is either in <quote>triggered</quote>
197            or <quote>not-triggered</quote> state, and to perform actions
198            when the object becomes triggered.   When a client requests a
199            fence be triggered, the X server will first complete all rendering
200            from previous requests that affects resources owned by the fence's
201            screen before changing the state, so that clients may synchronize
202            with such rendering.  Support for these has been added to both
203	    the <filename class="libraryfile">libxcb-sync</filename> and
204	    <filename class="libraryfile">libXext</filename> API's.

211            extension Version 5.0.  Compositing managers and desktop
212            environments may have UI elements in particular screen locations
213            such that for a single-headed display they correspond to easy
214            targets, for example, the top left corner.  For a multi-headed
215            environment these corners should still be semi-impermeable.
216            Pointer barriers allow the application to define additional
217            constraint on cursor motion so that these areas behave as
218            expected even in the face of multiple displays.

226	    Version 1.2 of the X Resource extension provides new requests

228	    information about other clients, such as their process id,
229	    and to request size information about the resources clients
230	    have allocated in the X server, to allow better observability
231	    and easier debugging of client resource allocations in the server.

267      On most platforms, X11R&relvers; has a single hardware-driving
268      X server binary called <command>Xorg</command>.  This binary can
269      dynamically load the video drivers, input drivers, and other modules
270      that are needed.
271
272      <command>Xorg</command> currently has support for Linux, Solaris,
273      and some BSD OSs on Alpha, PowerPC, IA-64, AMD64, Intel x86, Sparc,

307	      which is an X proxy, and thus limited to the capabilities of
308	      the host X server, <command>Xephyr</command> is a full X server

616        <para>
617	  The Xorg server relies on the operating system's native
618	  module loader support for handling program modules. The X
619	  server makes use of modules for video drivers, X server
620	  extensions, input device drivers, framebuffer layers, and
621	  internal components used by some drivers (like XAA &amp; EXA).

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

636        <para>The Xorg server runs with root privileges, so
637        the Xorg server loadable modules also run with these privileges.
638        For this reason we recommend that all users be careful to only
639        use loadable modules from reliable sources,  otherwise the
640        introduction of malware and contaminated code can occur and
641        wreak havoc on your system.

648        <para>
649        The Xorg server uses a configuration file as the primary mechanism
650        for providing configuration and run-time parameters.  The configuration
651        file format is described in detail in the <ulink url="xorg.conf.5.html">

654
655        <para>
656        Note that this release features significant improvements
657        for running the server without a configuration file, so many users
658        may find that that they don't need a configuration file, or may
659	rely on just snippets of configuration placed in the
660	<filename class="directory">xorg.conf.d</filename> directory.

676        Xorg -configure

706        <para>
707        One of the main problems is with drivers not sufficiently
708        initializing cards that were not initialized at boot time.  This
709        has been improved somewhat with the INT10 support that is used by
710        most drivers (which allows secondary card to be "soft-booted", but
711        in some cases there are other issues that still need to be
712        resolved.  Some combinations can be made to work better by changing
713        which card is the primary card (either by using a different PCI
714        slot, or by changing the system BIOS's preference for the primary
715        card).

722        <firstterm>Xinerama</firstterm> is an X server extension that
723        allows multiple physical screens connected to multiple video devices
724        to behave as a single screen.  With traditional multi-head in X11,
725        windows cannot span or cross physical screens.  Xinerama removes this
726        limitation.  Xinerama does, however, require that the physical screens
727        all have the same root depth, so it isn't possible, for example, to use
728        an 8-bit screen together with a 16-bit screen in Xinerama mode.

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

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

803        Of note is that this release supports building the X server using
804        the system-wide libdrm. Previously, drm was kept in the server's
805        tree and loaded as a module, rather than using the standard OS
806        mechanisms for managing shared libraries of code. This requires
807        that the server be built using a version of libdrm of 2.3.0 or
808        newer if it is to use DRM.

851          The Xorg server in this release provides various functions
852          that can be mapped to keystrokes to aid in the debugging of
853          programs with errant input grabs.
854        </para>

856          The keysyms <keysym>XF86LogGrabInfo</keysym> and
857          <keysym>XF86LogWindowTree</keysym> are defined to
858          print information to the Xorg log file on the current set
859          of input grabs, and the window tree of the current display.
860          By default, these are available for use, but not mapped to any key.
861        </para>
862        <para>
863          The keysym <keysym>XF86Ungrab</keysym> forces the X server
864          to release all active grabs, which may leave the clients holding
865          them in an inconsistent state.  <keysym>XF86ClearGrab</keysym>
866          goes further, killing the client connection of any client holding
867          an active grab when it is pressed.   These keystrokes are
868          intended to allow developers to debug clients which are not
869          properly releasing grabs or have problems occur while input is
870          grabbed.   Since grabs are a fundamental part of the X
871          client security model, these keystrokes come with risks, such
872          as the ability to bypass or kill screen locks without knowing
873          the password, and thus are not available by default.

1025        when building with the GNU gcc, LLVM clang, Oracle Solaris Studio,
1026        or Intel compilers.   These flags both enable more warnings, and
1027        promote some warnings to fatal errors in the build.   If these
1028        flags cause your build to fail, you can disable the flags that
1029        turn these selected warnings into errors by adding
1030        <option>--disable-selective-werror</option> to the configure command

1180        installer if the <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> dir is
1181        persistent.  They could be created at boot time by the system's
1182        boot scripts (e.g., the <filename class="directory" >init.d</filename>
1183        scripts).  Or, they could be created by PAM modules at service

1205    distribution in the core X11 releases outweighs the benefits of doing
1206    so.  In some cases, this is simply because no one has volunteered to do
1207    continued maintenance, so if software is listed here that you need, you
1208    can contact <email>xorg-devel@lists.x.org</email> to volunteer to
1209    take over maintainership, either inside or outside of the Xorg release
1210    process.

1222	      DGA 2.0 is included in &relvers;.  Documentation for the client
1223	      libraries can be found in the
1224	      <ulink url="XDGA.3.man">XDGA(3)</ulink> man page.  DGA should be
1225	      considered deprecated; if you are relying on it, please let us
1226	      know what you need it for so we can find better solutions.
1227	      In this release, support has been removed for all DGA
1228	      rendering and mapping code, leaving just mode setting and
1229	      raw input device access.

1238	      Xorg server 1.4 started using the <ulink
1239	      url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal">HAL
1240	      framework</ulink> to discover connected input devices,
1241	      receive notification of hotplug events for them, and to
1242	      retrieve configuration parameters for them. The HAL
1243	      maintainers have since deprecated HAL, so the X.Org developers
1244	      have begun replacement with alternatives.  As a result,
1245	      configuration of input devices via HAL
1246	      <filename>*.fdi</filename> files is no longer supported
1247	      on Linux platforms using udev, and may not be supported
1248	      on other platforms in future Xorg server releases.
