These release notes contains information about features and their status in the X.Org Foundation X11R7.6 release.
Table of Contents
This release is the seventh modular release of the X Window System™. The next full release will be X11R7.7 and is expected in 2011.
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 “rolling up” the individual module releases into a collection that is often affectionately called the “katamari” by the developers.
The X11R7.6 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.
Once their window system build is established, most builders watch for announcements of individual module updates on the xorg-announce mailing list 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.
For help with how to build and develop in the modular tree see the Modular Developer's Guide in the X.Org wiki.
We encourage you to report bugs using
freedesktop.org's
bug tracking system using the xorg product, and to
submit bug fixes and enhancements to
<xorg-devel@lists.x.org>.
More details on patch submission and review process are available on the
SubmittingPatches page of the X.Org wiki.
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 7.6.
The next section describes what is new in the latest full release (7.6) compared with the previous full release (7.5).
This is a sampling of the new features in X11R7.6. A more complete list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog files that are part of the source of each X module.
InputClass sections in Xorg configuration
files are used to apply configuration options to any input
device matching specified rules, such as device path,
type of device, device manufacturer, or other data provided
by the input hotplug backend. Details can be found in the
INPUTCLASS section of the
xorg.conf(5) manual page.
Xorg configuration directories are
used to allow fragments of the X server configuration to be
delivered in individual files. For instance, the input device
driver matching rules previously provided in HAL
.fdi files are now provided as
InputClass sections in
.conf files in a
xorg.conf.d directory.
udev is now used by the X server on Linux systems for input device discovery and hot-plug notification. Other platforms continue to use the HAL framework for these tasks for now.
X protocol C-language Binding (XCB)
is now included in the katamari, and is required by several
client-side modules, including
libX11,
xlsatoms, xlsclients
and xwininfo.
XCB is a replacement for Xlib featuring a small footprint,
latency hiding, direct access to the protocol, improved threading
support, and extensibility. More information can be found on
the XCB website at http://xcb.freedesktop.org/.
Major progress has been made on the X.Org Documentation
modernization - most of the library and protocol specifications
are now included in the modules for those libraries and protocols
so they can be updated in sync with new versions, and many have
been converted to DocBook XML from the variety of formats they
were previously in. On most systems these documents will be
installed under /usr/share/doc/. They
are also posted on the X.Org website at
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/.
Video and input driver enhancements. Please see the ChangeLog files for individual drivers; there are far too many updates to list here.
... and the usual assortment of correctness and crash fixes.
On most platforms, X11R7.6 has a single hardware-driving X server binary called Xorg. This binary can dynamically load the video drivers, input drivers, and other modules that are needed. Xorg has currently has support for Linux, Solaris, and some BSD OSs on Alpha, PowerPC, IA-64, AMD64, Intel x86, Sparc, and MIPS platforms.
Additional specialized X server binaries may be found depending on the platform and build configuration, including:
is a proxy X server that uses one or more other X servers as its display devices. It provides multi-head X functionality for displays that might be located on different machines.
is a nested X server, that operates as both an X client and X server. Xnest is a client of the real server which manages windows and graphics requests on its behalf. Xnest 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.
is a X server that outputs to a window on a pre-existing “host” X display. Unlike Xnest which is an X proxy, and thus limited to the capabilities of the host X server, Xephyr is a full X server which uses the host X server window as a “framebuffer” via fast SHM XImages.
is a virtual framebuffer X server that can run on machines with no display hardware and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual memory.
is an X server that interacts with the MacOS X native Aqua window system, displaying windows on the Mac desktop and accepting input from the Mac system devices, allowing X11 applications to be used in a native Mac desktop session.
is an X server that runs under the Cygwin environment, interacting with the Microsoft Windows native window system, displaying windows on the Windows desktop and accepting input from the Windows system devices, allowing X11 applications to be used in a native Windows desktop session.

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 & EXA).
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.
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.
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 xorg.conf(5) manual page.
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.
If you do need to customize the configuration file, see the xorg.conf manual page . You can also check the driver-specific manual pages and the related documentation (found at driver tables) also.
The recommended method for generating a configuration file is to use the Xorg server itself. Run as root:
Xorg -configure
and follow the instructions.
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 Xorg(1) manual page.
Some multi-head configurations are supported in X11R7.6. Support for multiple PCI/AGP cards may require a kernel with changes to support VGA arbitration.
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).
Xinerama 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.
Xinerama is not enabled by default, and can be enabled with the
+xinerama command line option for the X server.
Note that enabling Xinerama may disable certain other extensions
which are not compatible with Xinerama.
The VESA® Display Data Channel (DDC™) 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.
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: Option
"NoDDC". We have support for DDC versions 1 and 2; these
can be disabled independently with Option
"NoDDC1" and Option
"NoDDC2".
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.
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 -dpi 75
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.
Direct rendered OpenGL® support is provided for several hardware platforms by the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI). Further information about DRI can be found at the DRI Project's web site. The 3D core rendering component is provided by Mesa.
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.
The Xorg server has previously allowed users to exit the server by pressing the keys Control + Alt + Backspace. 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.
Users who wish to have this functionality available by default
may enable it via the XKB configuration option
“terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp”. For
instance, the setxkbmap command can be used
to enable this by running:
setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
The XKB Configuration
Guide also includes
an example xorg.conf.d
file that sets the
“terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp”
option by default on all keyboards.
Many desktop environments include XKB configuration options in
their preferences to enable this as well.
The X servers in the X11R7.6 release now start by default
with an empty black screen and do not draw the mouse cursor until
a client sets the cursor image. To restore the classic behavior
of starting with the grey weave pattern and × cursor, start
the X server with the -retro option.
Details about the font support in X11R7.6 can be found in the “Fonts in X11R7.6” document.
Previous versions of X installed font files under the
lib/X11/fonts subdirectory
of the X installation directory (for instance, in X11R6 releases,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
was commonly used). This release uses the default installation
path of the fonts
subdirectory of the datadir setting from the
GNU autoconf configuration. For instance, if the fonts are
configured with ./configure --prefix=/usr,
they will be installed under subdirectories of
/usr/share/fonts/X11.
The font module configure scripts all take an option of
--with-fontrootdir=
to override the default. If PATH--with-fontrootdir
is not specified, the fontutil pkg-config
file will be consulted to find the fontrootdir
specified when the fontutil module was
installed.
The X11R7.6 release supports PCF format bitmap fonts stored
uncompressed or compressed via the compress,
gzip, or bzip2 programs.
To utilize bzip2 compression, the libXfont
and mkfontscale modules must be built with
the --with-bzip2 — all other methods are
enabled by default.
To specify which compression method to use when installing
a font module from X11R7.6 the configure scripts accept
an option of
--with-compression=,
where TYPETYPE may be none,
compress, gzip, or
bzip2.
Previous versions of X came with two Postscript Type1 font backends. The functionality from the “Type1” backend has been replaced by the Type1 support in the “FreeType” backend.
Most of the modules in this release use the
AM_SILENT_RULES option of GNU automake 1.11.
When building the software, most output will show an abbreviated
format for the commands being run, such as:
CC xmen.o
To enable verbose output, showing all the arguments to the commands
being run, add the flag V=1 to the
make command line or add the flag
--disable-silent-rules to the configure command.
The bitmap font modules now accept a configure option of
--disable-all-encodings to set the default for
all encodings to off, requiring builders to then pass
--enable-
flags for each encoding to be built.
<encoding>
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.
| Enables or disables use of the xmlto command to translate DocBook XML to other formats. All DocBook XML conversions require use of this command. |
| Enables or disables use of the Apache fop command to translate DocBook XML to PostScript and PDF formats. |
| Enables or disables the build and installation of all documentation except traditional man pages or those covered by the --enable-devel-docs and --enable-specs options. |
| Enables or disables the build and installation of documentation for developers of the X.Org software modules. |
| Enables or disables the build and installation of the formal specification documents for protocols and APIs. |
This section describes other items of note for the X11R7.6 release.
The socket directories created in /tmp
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:
/tmp/.font-unix
/tmp/.ICE-unix
/tmp/.X11-unix
These directories are used by the font server (xfs), applications using the Inter-Client Exchange protocol (ICE) and the X server, respectively.
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 /tmp dir is
persistent. They could be created at boot time by the system's
boot scripts (e.g., the init.d
scripts). Or, they could be created by PAM modules at service
startup or user login time.
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.
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 <xorg@lists.freedesktop.org> to volunteer to
take over maintainership, either inside or outside of the Xorg release
process.
DGA version 2 | DGA 2.0 is included in 7.6. Documentation for the client libraries can be found in the XDGA(3) man page. DGA should be 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. |
Input device discovery via HAL |
The Xorg server currently uses the HAL
framework 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
|
Xprint | The Xprint server and extension were previously removed from X11R7.5. This release removes Xprint support from a number of client programs that still had it. |
Xsdl server | The experimental Xsdl server has never been finished or maintained, and was removed in this release. |
Unmaintained extensions | Support has been removed from the X servers for the following extensions, which were obsolete, not widely used, or not working:
