xorg 1:7.4+3ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

xorg (1:7.4+3ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - apport/xorg-server-core.py, x11-common.install, x11-common.links:
      + apport hook for xorg-server crashes
    - control:
      + Add xqbiff (<= 0.75-4) to the list of x11-common Conflicts.
      + Add a dependency to x11-common for each binary built to save
        disk/livecd space.
      + Move xfonts-scalable to Recommends.
    - local/Failsafe/*, x11-common.install:
      + Bulletproof-X.
    - local/Xsession:
      + If ~/.xsession-errors is bigger than 0.5MiB, truncate it to the last
        0.5MiB to avoid having it grow indefinitively. (This does not happen
        with gdm anyway since gdm cleans the file on login).
    - local/dexconf:
      + Add extra bits for ps3fb xorg.conf.
      + dexconf: Bring Device back to the Screen-section, nvidia-settings
        and aticonfig need that.
      + Add customizations to detect if running in KVM/VBOX environment
        and specify the driver, H/V rates, DefaultDepth, etc.
    - local/xserver-wrapper.c:
      + Stop handling -config specifically in the wrapper, as Xorg now
        handles this itself.
    - rules:
      + Symlink the doc directories to x11-common, explicitly remove the
        doc directories on upgrade for the now symlinked doc
        directories, to save disk/livecd space.
    - scripts/vars.*:
      + Don't include radeonhd in video-all.
    - scripts/vars.i386:
      + Add geode to video-all.
    - scripts/vars.lpia:
      + Copied from vars.i386.
    - x11-common.postinst.in, postrm.in, preinst.in:
      + Remove old configuration files.
    - xserver-xorg.postinst.in:
      + Migrate psb users to vesa.

xorg (1:7.4+3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Call db_stop at the end of xserver-xorg.postinst, otherwise debconf gets
    confused and makes the postinst hang after restarting hal
    (closes: #532623).

xorg (1:7.4+2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ David Nusinow ]
  * Don't discuss removal of xserver-xorg in its description.
    It remains tied to -core at this point. (closes: #523630).
  * Add libgl1-mesa-dri to the depends of the xorg package to ensure that
    it gets pulled in even if Recommends are disabled
  * Make xorg depend on xorg-docs-core and move xorg-docs to be a
    suggests.  This makes for a slimmer default while providing the
    necessary manpages that we expect to be present on every install
    (closes: #388308).

  [ Julien Cristau ]
  * Update the NEWS entry for xserver-xorg 1:7.4+1 to include a warning about
    keycode changes breaking Xmodmaps (closes: #523562).  Thanks, Manoj
    Srivastava!
  * Restart hal from xserver-xorg.postinst.  hal's trigger gets run too early,
    when console-setup is not yet configured, so it doesn't pick up the keymap
    correctly (closes: #524076).
  * Mention the requirement for a CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV-enabled kernel in
    xserver-xorg.NEWS.
  * Get rid of the remaining xserver-xorg debconf question (Bus ID).
    Detection of the primary device should happen in the kernel and/or X
    server.  With this change, we don't generate any xorg.conf anymore.
  * On upgrade, remove leftover conffile from beforelight (closes: #454219).
  * Add a console-setup-mini alternative to xserver-xorg's Depends
    (closes: #527124).
  * xsfbs: don't call dpkg --print-installation-architecture
    (closes: #531294).
  * Add README.source, and bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1.
  * xsfbs: kill custom readlink function (closes: #498890).  Thanks, Jonas
    Smedegaard!
  * x11-common: drop migration code from xfree86, and related debconf
    templates.
  * Drop support for renicing the X server from the wrapper.  Remove related
    debconf templates and maintainer scripts handling.
  * Don't ship the /usr/X11R6/bin symlink in x11-common.  Break gdm <<
    2.20.7-5.
  * xserver-xorg.preinst: drop migration code from /var/lib/xfree86 to
    /var/lib/x11.
  * xserver-xorg.{pre,post}inst: drop xorg.conf checksum handling.  Stop
    creating an empty xorg.conf in preinst.  Now that we don't run dexconf, we
    don't need to keep a checksum of the config file to know whether the user
    customized it.
  * xserver-xorg.{preinst,postinst,postrm}: stop using /var/lib/x11.
  * control: xserver-xorg doesn't provide infrastructure for managing
    xorg.conf anymore, remove that from the description.
  * Stop depending on sparc-utils.  xserver-xorg.postinst doesn't run any
    detection programs anymore.

  [ Debconf translations ]
  * Bengali added
  * Slovak updated (closes: #523448).

xorg (1:7.4+1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Timo Aaltonen ]
  * scripts/vars.sparc: Remove sunbw2 from video-all, since monochrome
    support has been deleted from xserver 1.6.
  * scripts/vars.*: Drop mouse & kbd from input-all except for non-Linux
    archs.
  * scripts/vars, rules: Remove scripts/vars, hasn't been used since
    it was split.

  [ Julien Cristau ]
  * Xsession(5): fix the manpage references.
  * Xwrapper.config(5): X is installed as /usr/bin/X, not /usr/bin/X11R6/X.
  * Use case-insensitive matching when trying to replace obsolete drivers in
    xorg.conf.  Use the C locale to make sure this works as expected.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: drop duplicate definitions of the debug_echo and
    validate_string_db_input shell functions.
  * dexconf: don't try to get the driver from debconf.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: drop the code to pick a driver on sparc.  The
    server now autoconfigures sbus devices.
  * As a result of the previous change, remove the
    xserver-xorg/config/device/driver debconf template, and unregister it on
    upgrade.
  * We don't use dmidecode and fbset anymore (they were used for hardware
    detection), so stop adding Recommends on them.
  * dexconf: don't write empty Monitor and Screen sections.
  * dexconf: don't output an InputDevice section for mice.
  * dexconf: don't output an InputDevice section for keyboards.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: don't configure the keyboard layout.
  * remove keyboard-related debconf templates; unregister them on upgrade.
  * xserver-xorg.templates: don't give an ISA example for the BusID question,
    ISA support has been removed from the server.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: don't accept BusID values matching "ISA:*".
  * Don't set the UseFBDev option.  Remove the detection code from
    xserver-xorg.postinst, kill the debconf template and unregister it.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: remove unused input validation functions.  Also
    remove the corresponding debconf templates.
  * Set the BusID in xorg.conf if we find more than one graphics card, to work
    around breakage in post-pciaccess xserver (can't find the primary PCI
    device).
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: allow setting the PCI domain in the BusID string.
  * Install a callout and an fdi file to read the configured keymap from
    /etc/default/console-setup, and set the corresponding keymap for keyboards
    in hal.  Both stolen from Ubuntu's hal package.
  * Depend on hal (>= 0.5.12~git20090406) for hal-set-property --direct.
  * Depend on console-setup (>= 1.29) to handle upgrades from lenny.
  * Add a NEWS entry to document the changes regarding configuration of input
    devices.
  * Re-add rgb.txt, some clients still use it, even though the server doesn't.
  * Upload to unstable.

  [ David Nusinow ]
  * Add an example xorg.conf to /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/examples.
    This will give people something to copy from and modify for their own
    configurations

  [ Debconf translations ]
  * Esperanto. Closes: #503039
  * Asturian. Closes: #511623
  * Kazakh added. Closes: #521001
