Thanks for the catch.  Cherry-picked to 1.5 branch.

Fair enough.  I'll keep it in for a while.

That's really just tempting me to remove startx from the list as well.

I can't think of any straightforward way to do so, sadly. If the user 
needs to hit the key twice, the damage has already been done.

synaptics? ("Justified" by the fact that all of it's features going beyond 
simple mouse moves and clicks, i.e. scrolling, edge-clicks, 
two/three-finger-clicks are not supported by evdev or mouse)

Hi,

when not using a layout section in xorg.conf, the function 
checkCoreInputDevices is called too early, when option AllowEmptyInput has 
not been parsed, so I end up with the default keyboard and default pointer 
being added. 

The function checkCoreInputDevices is called later anyway so I felt free to 
remove the call in configImpliedLayout.

Please see and evaluate attached patch. 


Thanks,
Sascha

Update pm-utils and hal-info, then apply

Me. The copy of the video BIOS in the c000 segment is patched at POST to 
prevent it being reexecuted (as it may make calls into system BIOS code 
that no longer exists), so we need to run the stashed copy. The 
information I have is that this is safe for g80 - it certainly doesn't 
seem reliable on older hardware. No clue about g90 yet.

Urgs, now that is dirty. I give it a try nonetheless :-)

Who implemented this grave hack? Some thread of problem discussion
somewhere?

On an embedded system I have the GPU memory is actually faster than the
CPU's main memory. Therefore it would be preferable to have new pixmaps
allocated in offscreen vram right away and never migrated back (and forth).

 

Is there a way I can achieve this without touching the server's EXA
migration code (maybe a xorg.conf parameter or value I am missing)?

 

Gracias,

s
