    <title>Dedication</title>

    <para><emphasis>
	Two of the early leaders of the X Window System community were
	lost to cancer this year &mdash; Smokey Wallace, who led the DEC
	WSL team which created the initial implementation of X11, and
	Hideki Hiura from Sun Microsystems who helped design the X11R6
	internationalization framework.  This release is dedicated to
	their memory.

    <title>Introduction to the X11R&relvers; Release</title>

    <para>
      This release is the &whichfullrel; modular release of the
      <productname>X Window System</productname>.
      The next full release will be X11R&nextrelvers; and is expected in
      &nextfullreldate;.
    </para>

    <para>
      Unlike X11R1 through X11R6.9, X11R7.x releases are not built from one
      monolithic source tree, but many individual modules.   These modules
      are distributed as individual source code releases, and each one is
      released when it is ready, instead of only when the overall window
      system is ready for release.  The X11R7.x releases are made by
      &ldquo;rolling up&rdquo; the individual module releases into a
      collection that is often affectionately called the
      &ldquo;<foreignphrase>katamari</foreignphrase>&rdquo; by the developers.
    </para>

    <para>
      The X11R&relvers; release does not include all of the software
      formerly included in the previous X Window System releases.
      It is designed to be a reasonable baseline from which to start
      when building the window system for the first time for a new
      installation, distribution, or package set.  It does not provide
      a full desktop environment, expecting a more feature rich set of
      applications to be installed from one of the several excellent
      desktop environments available for the X Window System.  The
      X.Org developers continue to maintain and produce new releases
      of much of the software that was formerly in the main window
      system releases but is no longer included in the katamari
      releases, including many of the Athena Widgets desktop
      applications that were provided as samples in previous window
      system versions.
    </para>

    <para>
      Once their window system build is established, most builders watch for
      announcements of individual module updates on the <ulink
	url="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-announce"
	>xorg-announce mailing list</ulink> and update to those as needed.
      The X.Org Foundation currently releases the X Window System
      katamari releases approximately once a year, but many modules,
      especially the X servers and drivers, are updated more frequently
      between those releases.

    </para>

<para>
The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system.
X11 refers to the version of the network protocol that the X Window
system is based on: Version 11 was first released in 1988 and has been
stable for 22 years, with only upward compatible additions to the core X
protocol, a record of stability envied in computing.  Formal releases of
X started with X version 9 from MIT; the first commercial X products
were based on X version 10.  The MIT X Consortium and its successors,
the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.Org Group
released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6.  Since the founding of the
X.Org Foundation in early 2004, many further releases have been
issued, from X11R6.7 to the current &relvers;.

    <title>Overview of X11R&relvers;</title>

    <para>
      On most platforms, X11R&relvers; has a single hardware-driving
      X server binary called <command>Xorg</command>.  This binary can
      dynamically load the video drivers, input drivers, and other modules
      that are needed.

      <command>Xorg</command> has currently has support for Linux, Solaris,
      and some BSD OSs on Alpha, PowerPC, IA-64, AMD64, Intel x86, Sparc,
      and MIPS platforms.

    </para>

    <para>
      Additional specialized X server binaries may be found depending on
      the platform and build configuration, including:

      <glosslist>

	  <glossterm><command>Xdmx</command></glossterm>
	  <glossdef><para>
	    is a proxy X server that uses one or more other X servers as its

	  <glossterm><command>Xnest</command></glossterm>
	  <glossdef><para>
	    is a nested X server, that operates as both an X client and X
	    server.  <command>Xnest</command> is a client of the real server
	    which manages windows and graphics requests on its behalf.
	    <command>Xnest</command> is a server to its own clients, and
	    manages windows and graphics requests on their behalf.
	    To these clients, it appears to be a conventional server.

	</glossentry>
	<glossentry>
	  <glossterm><command>Xephyr</command></glossterm>
	  <glossdef><para>
	      is a X server that outputs to a window on a pre-existing
	      &ldquo;host&rdquo; X display.  Unlike <command>Xnest</command>
	      which is an X proxy, and thus limited to the capabilities of
	      the host X server, <command>Xephyr</command> is a full X server
	      which uses the host X server window as a
	      &ldquo;framebuffer&rdquo; via fast SHM XImages.

        <title>Loader and Modules</title>

        <para>
	  The Xorg server relies on the operating system's native
	  module loader support for handling program modules. The X
	  server makes use of modules for video drivers, X server
	  extensions, input device drivers, framebuffer layers, and
	  internal components used by some drivers (like XAA &amp; EXA).
        </para>

        <para>
        The module interfaces (both API and ABI) used in this release are
        subject to change without notice.  While we will attempt to provide
        backward compatibility for the module interfaces, we cannot
        guarantee this. Compatibility in the other direction is explicitly
        not guaranteed because new modules may rely on interfaces added in
        new releases.
        </para>

        <warning>
        <title>Note about module security</title>
        <para>The X server runs with root privileges, i.e.,
        the X server loadable modules also run with these privileges.
        For this reason we recommend that all users be careful to only
        use loadable modules from reliable sources,  otherwise the
        introduction of viruses and contaminated code can occur and
        wreak havoc on your system.  We hope to have a mechanism for
        signing/verifying the modules that we provide available in a
        future release.

        <title>Configuration File</title>

        <para>
        The Xorg server uses a configuration file as the primary mechanism
        for providing configuration and run-time parameters.  The configuration
        file format is described in detail in the <ulink url="xorg.conf.5.html">
        xorg.conf(5)</ulink> manual page.
        </para>

        <para>
        Note that this release features significant improvements
        for running the server without a configuration file, so many users
        may find that that they don't need a configuration file.
        </para>

        <para>
        If you do need to customize the configuration file, see the <ulink
        url="xorg.conf.5.html"
        >xorg.conf manual page</ulink> .  You can also
        check the driver-specific manual pages and the related
        documentation (found at <xref linkend="drivertables"></xref>) also.
        </para>

        <para>
        The recommended method for generating a configuration file is to use
        the Xorg server itself.  Run as root:

        <screen>
        Xorg -configure
        </screen>
         and follow the instructions.

        <title>Command Line Options</title>

        <para>
        Command line options can be used to override some default
        parameters and parameters provided in the configuration file.
        These command line options are described in the <ulink
        url="Xorg.1.html">Xorg(1)</ulink> manual page.

        <title>Multi-head</title>

        <para>
	  Some multi-head configurations are supported in X11R&relvers;.
	  Support for multiple PCI/AGP cards may require a kernel with
	  changes to support VGA arbitration.
        </para>

        <para>
        One of the main problems is with drivers not sufficiently
        initializing cards that were not initialized at boot time.  This
        has been improved somewhat with the INT10 support that is used by
        most drivers (which allows secondary card to be "soft-booted", but
        in some cases there are other issues that still need to be
        resolved.  Some combinations can be made to work better by changing
        which card is the primary card (either by using a different PCI
        slot, or by changing the system BIOS's preference for the primary
        card).
        </para>
      </sect3>

      <sect3>
        <title>Xinerama</title>
        <para>
        <firstterm>Xinerama</firstterm> is an X server extension that
        allows multiple physical screens connected to multiple video devices
        to behave as a single screen.  With traditional multi-head in X11,
        windows cannot span or cross physical screens.  Xinerama removes this
        limitation.  Xinerama does, however, require that the physical screens
        all have the same root depth, so it isn't possible, for example, to use
        an 8-bit screen together with a 16-bit screen in Xinerama mode.
        </para>

        <para>
        Xinerama is not enabled by default, and can be enabled with the
        <option>+xinerama</option> command line option for the X server.
        Note that enabling Xinerama may disable certain other extensions
        which are not compatible with Xinerama.

        <title>DDC</title>

        <para>
	  The <acronym>VESA</acronym>&reg; Display Data Channel
	  (<acronym><trademark>DDC</trademark></acronym>) standard allows
	  the monitor to tell the video card (or in some cases the
	  computer directly) about itself; particularly the supported
	  screen resolutions and refresh rates.
        </para>

        <para>
        Partial or complete DDC support is available in most of the video
        drivers.  DDC is enabled by default, but can be disabled with a
        "Device" section entry:  <literal remap="tt">Option
        "NoDDC"</literal>.  We have support for DDC versions 1 and 2; these
        can be disabled independently with <literal remap="tt">Option
        "NoDDC1"</literal> and <literal remap="tt">Option
        "NoDDC2"</literal>.
        </para>

        <para>
        At startup the server prints out DDC information from the display,
        and can use this information to set the default monitor parameters,
        or to warn about monitor sync limits if those provided in the
        configuration file don't match those that are detected.
        </para>

        <sect4>
            <title>Changed behavior caused by DDC.</title>

            <para>
            Several drivers use DDC information to set the screen size and
            pitch.  This can be overridden by explicitly resetting it to
            the and non-DDC default value 75 with the <option>-dpi 75</option>
	    command line option for the X
            server, or by specifying appropriate screen dimensions with the
            "DisplaySize" keyword in the "Monitor" section of the config
            file.

        <title>GLX and the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI)</title>

        <para>
        Direct rendered OpenGL&reg; support is provided for several
        hardware platforms by the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI).
        Further information about DRI can be found at the <ulink
        url="http://dri.sf.net/">DRI Project's web site</ulink>.  The 3D
        core rendering component is provided by <ulink
        url="http://www.mesa3d.org">Mesa</ulink>.
        </para>

        <para>
        Of note is that this release supports building the X server using
        the system-wide libdrm. Previously, drm was kept in the server's
        tree and loaded as a module, rather than using the standard OS
        mechanisms for managing shared libraries of code. This requires
        that the server be built using a version of libdrm of 2.3.0 or
        newer if it is to use DRM.

	<title>Terminate Server keystroke</title>

	<para>
	  The Xorg server has previously allowed users to exit the server
	  by pressing the keys
	  <keycap function="control">Control</keycap> +
	  <keycap function="alt">Alt</keycap> +
	  <keycap function="backspace">Backspace</keycap>.
	  While this function is still enabled by default in this release,
	  the keymap data usually used with Xorg, from the
	  xkeyboard-config project, has been modified to not map that
	  sequence by default, in order to reduce the chance that
	  inexperienced users will accidentally destroy their work.
	</para>
	<para>
	  Users who wish to have this functionality available by default
	  may enable it via the XKB configuration option
	  &ldquo;<option>terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</option>&rdquo;.  For
	  instance, the <command>setxkbmap</command> command can be used
	  to enable this by running:
	  <screen>
	setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
	  </screen>
	  <ulink url="input/XKB-Config.html">The XKB Configuration
	    Guide</ulink> also includes
	  <ulink url="input/XKB-Config.html#zap">an example xorg.conf.d
	    file that sets the
	    &ldquo;<option>terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</option>&rdquo;

	  Many desktop environments include XKB configuration options in
	  their preferences to enable this as well.

	    subdirectory of the <varname>datadir</varname> setting from the
	    GNU autoconf configuration.   For instance, if the fonts are
	    configured with <userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr</userinput>,
	    they will be installed under subdirectories of
	    <filename class="directory">/usr/share/fonts/X11</filename>.
	    The font module configure scripts all take an option of
	    <option>--with-fontrootdir=<parameter>PATH</parameter></option>
	    to override the default.   If <option>--with-fontrootdir</option>
	    is not specified, the <filename>fontutil</filename> pkg-config
	    file will be consulted to find the <varname>fontrootdir</varname>
	    specified when the <filename>fontutil</filename> module was
	    installed.

	  <title>Bitmap font compression methods</title>

	  <para>
	    The X11R&relvers; release supports PCF format bitmap fonts stored
	    uncompressed or compressed via the <command>compress</command>,
	    <command>gzip</command>, or <command>bzip2</command> programs.
	    To utilize bzip2 compression, the <literal>libXfont</literal>
	    and <command>mkfontscale</command> modules must be built with
	    the <option>--with-bzip2</option> &mdash; all other methods are
	    enabled by default.
	  </para>
	  <para>
	    To specify which compression method to use when installing
	    a font module from X11R&relvers; the configure scripts accept
	    an option of
	    <option>--with-compression=<parameter>TYPE</parameter></option>,
	    where <parameter>TYPE</parameter> may be <literal>none</literal>,
	    <literal>compress</literal>, <literal>gzip</literal>, or

	  <title>Type1 Font support</title>

	  <para>
	    Previous versions of X came with two Postscript Type1 font
	    backends.  The functionality from the &ldquo;Type1&rdquo;
	    backend has been replaced by the Type1 support in the
	    &ldquo;FreeType&rdquo; backend.

	  <title>CID Font support</title>

	  <para>
	    The CID-keyed font format was designed by Adobe Systems for
	    fonts with large character sets.  The CID-keyed format is
	    obsolete, as it has been superseded by other formats such as
	    OpenType/CFF and support for CID-keyed fonts has been removed
	    from X11.

      <title>Silent build rules</title>

      <para>
	Most of the modules in this release use the
	<function>AM_SILENT_RULES</function> option of GNU automake 1.11.
	When building the software, most output will show an abbreviated
	format for the commands being run, such as:
	<screen>
   CC	xmen.o
	</screen>
	To enable verbose output, showing all the arguments to the commands
	being run, add the flag <option>V=1</option> to the
	<command>make</command> command line or add the flag
	<option>--disable-silent-rules</option> to the configure command.
      </para>
    </sect2>

    <sect2>
      <title>New configure options for font modules</title>

      <para>
	The bitmap font modules now accept a configure option of
	<option>--disable-all-encodings</option> to set the default for
	all encodings to off, requiring builders to then pass
	<option>--enable-<replaceable>&lt;encoding&gt;</replaceable></option>

    <sect2>
      <title>New configure options for documentation in modules</title>

      <para>
	As many more modules now contain documentation to be converted
	from DocBook XML to text, HTML, PostScript, and/or PDF formats,
	new standard options have been added to the configure macros
	to control the build of these in the modules.

        <title>Socket directory ownership and permissions</title>

      <para>
	The socket directories created in <filename>/tmp</filename>
        are now required to be owned by root and have their sticky-bit
        set.  If the permissions are not set correctly, the component
        using this directory will print an error message and fail to
        start.  Common socket directories that are known to be
        affected include:

        <screen>
        /tmp/.font-unix
        /tmp/.ICE-unix
        /tmp/.X11-unix
        </screen>

        These directories are used by the font server
	(<command>xfs</command>), applications using the Inter-Client
	Exchange protocol (<acronym>ICE</acronym>) and the X server,
	respectively.
      </para>

      <para>
        There are several solutions to the problem of when to create these
        directories.  They could be created at install time by the system's
        installer if the <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> dir is
        persistent.  They could be created at boot time by the system's
        boot scripts (e.g., the <filename class="directory" >init.d</filename>
        scripts).  Or, they could be created by PAM modules at service
        startup or user login time.
      </para>

      <para>
        The solution chosen is platform dependent, and the system administrator
        should be able to handle creating those directories on any systems that
        do not have the correct ownership or permissions.

    <title>Deprecated components and removal plans</title>

    <para>
    This section lists current plans for removal of obsolete or deprecated
    components in the X.Org releases.  As our releases are open source,
    users who continue to require these can find the source in previous
    releases and continue to use these, but the X.Org Foundation and its
    volunteers have decided the burden of continued maintenance and
    distribution in the core X11 releases outweighs the benefits of doing
    so.  In some cases, this is simply because no one has volunteered to do
    continued maintenance, so if software is listed here that you need, you
    can contact <email>xorg@lists.freedesktop.org</email> to volunteer to
    take over maintainership, either inside or outside of the Xorg release
    process.

	      libraries can be found in the

	      considered deprecated; if you are relying on it, please let us
	      know what you need it for so we can find better solutions.
	      In this release, support has been removed for all DGA
	      rendering and mapping code, leaving just mode setting and
	      raw input device access.

	      The Xorg server currently uses the <ulink

	      framework</ulink> to discover connected input devices,
	      receive notification of hotplug events for them, and to
	      retrieve configuration parameters for them. The HAL
	      maintainers have deprecated HAL, so the X.Org developers
	      have begun replacement with alternatives.  As a result,
	      configuration of input devices via HAL
	      <filename>*.fdi</filename> files is no longer supported
	      on Linux platforms using udev, and may not be supported
	      on other platforms in future Xorg server releases.
