I can't find them in our tree. Neither could I. man xset hints that one of the purposes of MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD is to switch pre-X11R4 bug compatibility on/off ;) > > o XFree86-Bigfont > > Big font isn't really something and end user would be exposed to > so I don't think it's documented anywhere. > > > o XFree86-Misc > > I don't know if that's documented.

Part of the functionality (keyboard repeat rate + delay) is duplicated by XKEYBOARD. The -VideModeExtension is similar for the monitor configuration - reading/validating/setting the modeline(s), getting the name of the manufacturer and model, horiz/vert sync ranges, bandwidth, moving/querying the viewport if the X screen size is bigger than the current mode, locking/unlocking mode switches. > > o FontCache > > I think this is only used with XTT?

Ok - thanks :) I thought that there might be a few extra requests that were only available if the program used SGI-GLX. -Peter "I use emacs, which might be thought of as a thermonuclear word processor." -- Neal Stephenson, "In the beginning... was the command line" PS: I think the two #if 0 lines in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/man/Imakefile might explain some of it... and the misspelled ExpandNamNames. And the install.man target in the generated Makefiles doesn't seem to be used - at least according to the log I made of make World when I installed the server. But I /do/ get a huge amount of man pages installed by some other mechanism...
