Hi all, Currently. the Xorg Xserver has its own implementation of the VESA CVT standard timing modelines generator in `hw/xfree86/modes/xf86cvt.c`.
That code is placed in its own source file alone because it is also being used by the `cvt` utility. Because it's part of the Xorg DDX, Xwayland, which is another DDX also has a copy of the same code in `hw/xwayland/xwayland-cvt.c`. Now with Xwayland being a standalone package, mutter which uses the cvt utility at build time still needs to install `cvt` from Xorg to generate the modes used in Wayland. Some time ago, discussing with Jonas Adahl on irc, we thought it would be a good idea to have that code and utility part of its own standalone project, to avoid the code duplication and possibly ease contributions. That was https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1142 So I went ahead and did just that, called it “libxcvt” and placed in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/ofourdan/libxcvt I also made a merge request to use that code in the Xserver: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/637 Can we consider moving “libxcvt” to the xorg/lib namespace in gitlab? Cheers Olivier
