2012-10-11Correct description of -displayfd option in man page.Jon TURNEY1-1/+1
A display number, not a port number, is written to the specified fd. Signed-off-by: Jon TURNEY <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@oracle.com>
2012-05-01os: Add -displayfd optionChase Douglas1-0/+7
This option specifies a file descriptor in the launching process. X will scan for an available display number and write that number back to the launching process, at the same time as SIGUSR1 generation. This means display managers don't need to guess at available display numbers. As a consequence, if X fails to start when using -displayfd, it's not because the display was in use, so there's no point in retrying the X launch on a higher display number.

2011-08-22config: add udev/systemd multi-seat supportLennart Poettering1-0/+6
Add support for multi-seat-aware input device hotplugging. This implements the multi-seat scheme explained here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat This introduces a new X server switch "-seat" which allows configuration of the seat to enumerate hotplugging devices on. If specified the value of this parameter will also be exported as root window property Xorg_Seat. To properly support input hotplugging devices need to be tagged in udev according to the seat they are on. Untagged devices are assumed to be on the default seat "seat0". If no "-seat" parameter is passed only devices on "seat0" are used. This means that the new scheme is perfectly compatible with existing setups which have no tagged input devices. Note that the -seat switch takes a completely generic identifier, and that it has no effect on non-Linux systems. In fact, on other OSes a completely different identifier scheme for seats could be used but still be exposed with the Xorg_Seat and -seat. I tried to follow the coding style of the surrounding code blocks if there was any one could follow. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

2011-05-13man: relocate manual pages in the man subdir outside docGaetan Nadon2-0/+590
The convention is to have the manual pages in a man subdir which is not under a doc dir. The doc dir contains users docs. This will move man pages out of the way for upcoming DocBook patches.
