2015-09-01remove bogus \/ escapesIngo Schwarze1-1/+1
some X manuals use then escape sequence \/ when they want to render a slash. That's bad because \/ is not a slash but an italic correction, never producing any output, having no effect at all in terminal output, and only changing spacing in a minor way in typeset output.

2015-08-24configurable maximum number of clientsOlivier Fourdan1-0/+5
Make the maximum number of clients user configurable, either from the command line or from xorg.conf This patch works by using the MAXCLIENTS (raised to 512) as the maximum allowed number of clients, but allowing the actual limit to be set by the user to a lower value (keeping the default of 256). There is a limit size of 29 bits to be used to store both the client ID and the X resources ID, so by reducing the number of clients allowed to connect to the X server, the user can increase the number of X resources per client or vice-versa. Parts of this patch are based on a similar patch from Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> This now requires at least xproto 7.0.28 Signed-off-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Olivier Fourdan <ofourdan@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>

2014-09-22os: Don't listen to 'tcp' by default. Add '-listen' option. [v2]Keith Packard1-0/+7
This disables the tcp listen socket by default. Then, it uses a new xtrans interface, TRANS(Listen), to provide a command line option to re-enable those if desired. v2: Leave unix socket enabled by default. Add configure options.

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>
