[ANNOUNCE] xorg-server 1.7.4
It's a week late but the silence on the list over the break didn't overly encourage me to tag 1.7.3.902 as final. Anyway, here it is, happy new year etc. Only two commits, with Alan's fix being the only one that should have any effect on users. Adam's commit only affects VNC.

I'm not initiating an exit, nor am I hitting ctrl-backspace (I don't think that's enabled by default any longer anyway). I'm looking for suggestions as to WHAT may be causing the SIGTERM. either your session is terminating for some reason or another or you might be getting an unresolved symbol error. that terminates the server as well. try starting the server from a TTY instead of through gdm, once it exits you can see if it complains about a symbol error.

visual resizing and positioning of displays
Hi! I have been looking for a tool for visually resizing and positioning X displays that is distribution neutral. I realise we have xrandr for listing and changing display resolutions and rotations but it doesn't seem to offer the ability to visually resize and position screens, a feature that is sadly missing from the hardware setup menus of many HDMI displays and I've only seen in a software form for X in suse/ yast's Graphics card and Monitor configuration module. AFAIK yast is GPL so I was wondering why this code hasn't been borrowed, stripped of its yast/suse dependencies and made into a distribution neutral, standard X config tool? I realise X isn't licensed under GPL but such a tool would be fine for most people until a similar tool was wrote under a MIT license or whatever might be deemed more xorg friendly. Thanks!

Re: visual resizing and positioning of displays
Isn't gnome-display-properties sufficient? Which additional features would you need? No, gnome-display-properties isn't sufficient to my needs as it does neither of the two features I am looking for which are: 1- Visual resizing (as in 'graphically' adjusting the screens outer borders) and 2- Visual positioning (centering) of the full screen gdp is of course just a simple gui to xrandr, which doesn't do what I require. nvidias X setup tool is also lacking such functionality and as I say the only tool I've seen do this under linux is tied into suse's vast yast config monster which is prob hundreds of meg with all its dependencies when all I'd ever want from it is the visual screen setup tool.

per-keyboard user-defined X keymap and keyboard behaviour
Hello folks, I often use my Thinkpad with an external keyboard. When I plug in the keyboard, it is initialised according to HAL with standard symbols. While I load a custom keymap from Xsession [0] and also call `xset r rate …` there, these settings do not take effect once I plug in the external keyboard — while the internal keyboard works exactly according to my keymap and rate settings, the external one uses defaults for both, probably because xset/xkbcomp only affect existing devices, not the defaults. 0. http://madduck.net/docs/extending-xkb I seek a way to address this and have a few questions. I would greatly appreciate all kinds of feedback. 1. I would prefer not to install my custom keymaps into /usr/lib, as that area of the filesystem is vendor-domain. However, I have not found a way to tell Xorg to look in other places too for xkb files. Is it possible to extend the XKEYBOARD search path, such that I could reference custom symbol tables from HAL's input.xkb.options property of a keyboard? 2. Is it possible to initialise delay and repeat rate of external keyboards to custom values (I run `xset r rate 255 47`)? 3. If (1) or (2) are not possible, then what else could I do? Is there a way to subscribe to Xorg in such a way that it informs me (or calls back) upon configuration of a new input device, such that I can relaod the keymap with xkbcomp and reset the delay/rate with xset? 4. After I plugged in the external keyboard, I have two keyboards. While the internal one uses my custom keymap and rate/delay settings, the external one has defaults. This makes me think that Xorg keeps these settings per-device. However, neither xset nor xkbcomp seem to allow me to specify a target device, so that I do not seem to be able to configure just one device, but always have to configure all of them. Am I overlooking something?

Re: per-keyboard user-defined X keymap and keyboard behaviour

When I plug in the keyboard, it is initialised according to HAL with standard symbols. While I load a custom keymap from Xsession [0] and also call `xset r rate …` there, these settings do not take effect once I plug in the external keyboard — while the internal keyboard works exactly according to my keymap and rate settings, the external one uses defaults for both, probably because xset/xkbcomp only affect existing devices, not the defaults. 0. http://madduck.net/docs/extending-xkb I seek a way to address this and have a few questions. I would greatly appreciate all kinds of feedback. 1. I would prefer not to install my custom keymaps into /usr/lib, as that area of the filesystem is vendor-domain. However, I have not found a way to tell Xorg to look in other places too for xkb files. Is it possible to extend the XKEYBOARD search path, such that I could reference custom symbol tables from HAL's input.xkb.options property of a keyboard? xkbcomp supports -I, but the xserver doesn't provide an option to set a custom include path. so your best bet is to run xkbcomp at runtime for xkb files outside the default paths. 2. Is it possible to initialise delay and repeat rate of external keyboards to custom values (I run `xset r rate 255 47`)? xset only works on core protocol requests. the core protocol however doesn't provide device specifiers and to change the keyboard repeat rate you'd have to use an xkb-aware tool. if there is one, I don't know, never needed that. 3. If (1) or (2) are not possible, then what else could I do? Is there a way to subscribe to Xorg in such a way that it informs me (or calls back) upon configuration of a new input device, such that I can relaod the keymap with xkbcomp and reset the delay/rate with xset? DevicePresence are sent for each device added, removed, enabled and disabled. For servers 1.7 and later, an XIDeviceHierarchChanged event is sent as well. 4. After I plugged in the external keyboard, I have two keyboards. While the internal one uses my custom keymap and rate/delay settings, the external one has defaults. This makes me think that Xorg keeps these settings per-device. However, neither xset nor xkbcomp seem to allow me to specify a target device, so that I do not seem to be able to configure just one device, but always have to configure all of them. Am I overlooking something? xkbcomp -i device id, as I said xset doesn't let you do that.

Re: per-keyboard user-defined X keymap and keyboard behaviour
Thanks for taking the time to respond! also sprach Peter Hutterer peter.hutte...@who-t.net [2010.01.08.1608 +1300]: xkbcomp supports -I, but the xserver doesn't provide an option to set a custom include path. so your best bet is to run xkbcomp at runtime for xkb files outside the default paths. This is what I do right now, but the question of runtime is what bothers me: what is runtime when you plug a USB keyboard into an existing X session? 3. If (1) or (2) are not possible, then what else could I do? Is there a way to subscribe to Xorg in such a way that it informs me (or calls back) upon configuration of a new input device, such that I can relaod the keymap with xkbcomp and reset the delay/rate with xset? DevicePresence are sent for each device added, removed, enabled and disabled. For servers 1.7 and later, an XIDeviceHierarchChanged event is sent as well. Okay, but to listen/react to those, I need to write a daemon using select(), right? 4. After I plugged in the external keyboard, I have two keyboards. While the internal one uses my custom keymap and rate/delay settings, the external one has defaults. This makes me think that Xorg keeps these settings per-device. However, neither xset nor xkbcomp seem to allow me to specify a target device, so that I do not seem to be able to configure just one device, but always have to configure all of them. Am I overlooking something? xkbcomp -i device id, as I said xset doesn't let you do that. I couldn't figure out what device id is supposed to be.
