The X.Org Server reference X11 server implementation.

Recent Activity

xwayland/glx: Enable sRGB fbconfigs
Adam Jackson: We turn this on if the GL underneath us can enable GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB.

modesetting: Fix dirty updates for sw rotation
Patrik Jakobsson: Rotation is broken for all drm drivers not providing hardware rotation support.

ephyr/glamor: Port to EGL
Adam Jackson: There's no real benefit to using GLX, and the other DDXes are using EGL already, so let's converge on EGL so we can concentrate the fixes in one place. We go to some effort to avoid being the thing that requires libX11 here.

modesetting: Add option for non-vsynced flips for "secondary" outputs
Mario Kleiner: Whenever an unredirected fullscreen window uses pageflipping for a DRI3/Present PresentPixmap() operation and the X-Screen has more than one active output, multiple crtc's need to execute pageflips.

Drop DMX DDX
Povilas Kanapickas: It turns out xdmx currently crashes when any client attempts to use GL and it has been in such state for about 14 years.

modesetting: Allow Present flips with mismatched stride on atomic drivers
Mario Kleiner: When using DRI3+Present with PRIME render offload, sometimes there is a mismatch between the stride of the to-be-presented Pixmap and the frontbuffer.

Activity Earlier In The Year

xfree86/cvt: Drop cvt utility
Olivier Fourdan: The cvt utility is now replaced by the standalone version found in libxcvt, no need to build the one in xfree86 anymore.

xfree86: Use libxcvt
Olivier Fourdan: Replace the local implementation of the VESA CVT standard timing modelines generator with the one from libxct to avoid code duplication.

xwayland: Use libxcvt
Olivier Fourdan: Xwayland is using a copy of the CVT generator found in Xorg.

glamor: add EXT_gpu_shader4 support
Dave Airlie: This enables a number of the GLSL 1.30 paths on GPUs that have EXT_gpu_shader4 but don't have GLSL 1.30 exposed.

xfixes: Allow the client to upgrade the fixes protocol version
Adam Jackson: If you say FixesQueryVersion twice we remember whatever the second version number was.

xwayland/eglstream: Remove stream validity
Olivier Fourdan: To avoid an EGL stream in the wrong state, if the window pixmap changed before the stream was connected, we would still keep the pending stream but mark it as invalid.

modesetting: Add a limit on async page flip error log frequency
Povilas Kanapickas: In certain circumstances we will have a lot of flip errors without a reasonable way to prevent them.

glamor: Avoid using GL_QUADS on V3D
Jose Maria Casanova Crespo: Like in 0e3f1252dacdc3194 ("glamor: Avoid using GL_QUADS on VC4") this will avoid mesa to fallback doing conversion for QUADS primitives.

dix: Add optional terminate delay
Olivier Fourdan: When the command line option "-terminate" is used, it could be interesting to give it an optional grace period to let the Xserver running for a little longer in case a new connection occurs. This adds an optional parameter to the "-terminate" command line option for this purpose. v2: Use a delay in seconds instead of milliseconds (Martin Peres) v3: Clarify man page entry, ensure terminateDelay is always >= 0, simplify TimerFree().

xwayland: enable MIT-SHM shared pixmaps
Simon Ser: Allow X11 clients to create shared pixmaps via the MIT-SHM extension under Xwayland.

X.Org Server Release Tags

xfree86: Bump ABI_VIDEODRV_VERSION to 25.2
Michel Dänzer: This gives out of tree drivers a fighting chance to build against both sides of

glamor: unifdef XORG_VERSION_CURRENT
Adam Jackson: This is always true now that glamor is in-tree.

Xephyr: Require xcb-shm version 1.9.3 or newer
Alexander Volkov: It's needed for FD-passing.

xwayland: bump wayland-protocols version to 1.7
Olivier Fourdan: Xwayland support for pointer locking in confinement requires wayland-protocols version 1.7 or later.

Bump version to 1.19.0
Keith Packard

Bump version to 1.18.99.2
Keith Packard: Prepare for 1.19 RC1

XQuartz: Fix default CFBundleVersion
Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia: m4/shell variable name collision broke the case when the configure option was not used

Bump version to 1.17.99.901 (1.18 RC1)

Most Popular This Year

modesetting: Add CTM RandR property
Aaron Plattner: When the "CTM" (color transform matrix) modesetting property is available, create a corresponding RandR property.

Check SetMap request length carefully
Matthieu Herrb: Avoid out of bounds memory accesses on too short request.

xwayland: Add new pkg-config variable for listenfd
Olivier Fourdan: Since commit b3f3d65e, xwayland now supports the command line option "-listenfd" for passing file descriptors and marked "-listen" as deprecated for this specific purpose.

xquartz: Remove support for building for i386
Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia

xwayland: Add wheel axis to relative pointer
Olivier Fourdan: The relative pointer only has 2 axis, if we want to route the mouse wheel events to that device, we need to add the axis definition, similar to what is done for the absolute pointer.

xwayland: Add -verbose option as in xfree86
Misha Gusarov: Makes it easier to debug Xwayland problems.
