This release is the eighth modular release of the
<span class="productname">X Window System</span>™.
The next full release will be X11R7.8 and is expected in
2013.
</p><p>
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
“<span class="foreignphrase"><em class="foreignphrase">katamari</em></span>” by the developers.
</p><p>
The X11R7.7 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.
</p><p>
Once their window system build is established, most builders watch for
announcements of individual module updates on the <a class="ulink" href="http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-announce" target="_top">xorg-announce mailing list</a> 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.
</p><p>
For help with how to build and develop in the modular tree see the
Developer's Guide</a> in the X.Org wiki.
</p><p>
We encourage you to report bugs using
bug tracking system</a> using the xorg product, and to
submit bug fixes and enhancements to
<code class="email"><<a class="email" href="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</a>></code>.
More details on patch submission and review process are available on the
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches" target="_top">
SubmittingPatches</a> page of the X.Org wiki.
</p><p>
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 nearly 25 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 7.7.
</p><p>
The next section describes what is new in the latest full release
(7.7) compared with the previous full release
(7.6).

This is a sampling of the new features in X11R7.7.
A more complete list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog files that
are part of the source of each X module.
</p><p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
<em class="firstterm">Multi-touch</em> events are now supported for
touchpads and touchscreens which can report position information
on more than one finger providing input at the same time, such as
found on many tablets and recent laptops. These are exposed by
Xorg server 1.12 and later via the Xinput extension version 2.2.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Additional <em class="firstterm">Xinput extension</em> features were
introduced in version 2.1, as supported in Xorg server 1.11,
including allowing clients to track raw events from input devices,
additional detail in scrolling events so that clients may perform
smoother scrolling, and additional constants in the Xlib-based
libXi API.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
More progress has been made on the X.Org Documentation
modernization - the rest of the library and protocol specifications
have been converted to DocBook XML from the variety of formats they
were previously in, and support for cross-linking between documents
hase been added. On most systems these documents will be
are also posted on the X.Org website at
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/" target="_top">http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/</a>.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<em class="firstterm">Fence</em> objects are now available in Version
3.1 of the <span class="olink">Synchronization
(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Sync</span>”</span>) extension</span>. These allow clients
to create a object that is either in <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">triggered</span>”</span>
or <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">not-triggered</span>”</span> state, and to perform actions
when the object becomes triggered. When a client requests a
fence be triggered, the X server will first complete all rendering
from previous requests that affects resources owned by the fence's
screen before changing the state, so that clients may synchronize
with such rendering. Support for these has been added to both
the <code class="filename">libxcb-sync</code> and
<code class="filename">libXext</code> API's.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<em class="firstterm">Pointer barriers</em> were added by X Fixes
extension Version 5.0. Compositing managers and desktop
environments may have UI elements in particular screen locations
such that for a single-headed display they correspond to easy
targets, for example, the top left corner. For a multi-headed
environment these corners should still be semi-impermeable.
Pointer barriers allow the application to define additional
constraint on cursor motion so that these areas behave as
expected even in the face of multiple displays.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Version 1.2 of the X Resource extension provides new requests
that allow clients to query for additional identification
information about other clients, such as their process id,
and to request size information about the resources clients
have allocated in the X server, to allow better observability
and easier debugging of client resource allocations in the server.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
The XCB libraries have begun adding support for the GLX and XKB
extensions. This work is not yet complete in this release,
and not all of the functionality available through these extensions
is accessibile via the XCB APIs. Some of this effort was funded
by past Google Summer of Code projects.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<em class="firstterm">Video and input driver enhancements</em>.
Please see the ChangeLog files for individual drivers; there are
far too many updates to list here.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
... and the usual assortment of correctness and crash fixes.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p></div><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Overview_of_X11R7.7"></a>Overview of X11R7.7</h2></div></div></div><p>
On most platforms, X11R7.7 has a single hardware-driving
X server binary called <span class="command"><strong>Xorg</strong></span>. This binary can
dynamically load the video drivers, input drivers, and other modules
that are needed.
<span class="command"><strong>Xorg</strong></span> has currently has support for Linux, Solaris,
and some BSD OSs on Alpha, PowerPC, IA-64, AMD64, Intel x86, Sparc,
and MIPS platforms.
</p><p>
Additional specialized X server binaries may be found depending on
the platform and build configuration, including:
</p><div class="glosslist"><dl><dt><span class="command"><strong>Xdmx</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
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.
</p></dd><dt><span class="command"><strong>Xnest</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
is a nested X server, that operates as both an X client and X
server. <span class="command"><strong>Xnest</strong></span> is a client of the real server
which manages windows and graphics requests on its behalf.
<span class="command"><strong>Xnest</strong></span> 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.
</p></dd><dt><span class="command"><strong>Xephyr</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
is a X server that outputs to a window on a pre-existing
“host” X display. Unlike <span class="command"><strong>Xnest</strong></span>
which is an X proxy, and thus limited to the capabilities of
the host X server, <span class="command"><strong>Xephyr</strong></span> is a full X server
which uses the host X server window as a
“framebuffer” via fast SHM XImages.
</p></dd><dt><span class="command"><strong>Xvfb</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
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.
</p></dd><dt><span class="command"><strong>Xquartz</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
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.
</p></dd><dt><span class="command"><strong>Xwin</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
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).
</p><p>
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 in stable releases,
we cannot guarantee this. Compatibility in the other direction is
explicitly not guaranteed because new modules may rely on interfaces
added in new releases, nor is compatibility across stable release
branches (such as between Xorg 1.11 and 1.12).
</p><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note about module security</h3><p>The Xorg server runs with root privileges, so
the Xorg 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 malware and contaminated code can occur and
wreak havoc on your system.

Note that this release features significant improvements
for running the server without a configuration file, so many users

If you do need to customize the configuration file, see the <a class="ulink" href="xorg.conf.5.html" target="_top">xorg.conf manual page</a> . You can also
check the driver-specific manual pages and the related
documentation (found at <a class="xref" href="#drivertables">driver tables</a>) also.
</p><p>
The recommended method for generating a configuration file is to use
the Xorg server itself. Run as root:

Command line options can be used to override some default
parameters and parameters provided in the configuration file.

changes to support VGA arbitration.
</p><p>
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).
</p></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Xinerama"></a>Xinerama</h4></div></div></div><p>
<em class="firstterm">Xinerama</em> 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.
</p><p>
Xinerama is not enabled by default, and can be enabled with the
<code class="option">+xinerama</code> command line option for the X server.
Note that enabling Xinerama may disable certain other extensions
which are not compatible with Xinerama.
</p></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="DDC"></a>DDC</h4></div></div></div><p>
The <acronym class="acronym">VESA</acronym>® Display Data Channel
(<acronym class="acronym"><span class="trademark">DDC</span>™</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.
</p><p>
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: <code class="literal">Option
"NoDDC"</code>. We have support for DDC versions 1 and 2; these
can be disabled independently with <code class="literal">Option
"NoDDC1"</code> and <code class="literal">Option
"NoDDC2"</code>.
</p><p>
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.
</p><div class="sect4"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h5 class="title"><a id="Changed_behavior_in_handling_information_from_DDC"></a>Changed behavior in handling information from DDC</h5></div></div></div><p>
The X server previously used DDC information to detect screen
size and pitch, and compute DPI automatically, allowing fonts
and other UI elements to automatically scale to appropriate
sizes. This mechanism worked reasonably well for many
single-monitor cases, but did not compute accurate DPI values
for multi-monitor cases or less common single-display setups.
Thus, this autodetection has been removed, and the X server no
longer tries to compute an appropriate DPI value. All users
wanting fonts, physical measurement units, and other UI elements
scaled appropriately for their display (including users for whom
autodetection previously worked) must now set DPI or some other
scaling factor explicitly, either via the X server's
<code class="option">-dpi</code> option, a DPI setting in their graphical
enironment, or an alternate scaling mechanism provided by their
environment.

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 <a class="ulink" href="http://dri.sf.net/" target="_top">DRI Project's web site</a>. The 3D
core rendering component is provided by <a class="ulink" href="http://www.mesa3d.org" target="_top">Mesa</a>.
</p><p>
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.
</p></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Terminate_Server_keystroke"></a>Terminate Server keystroke</h4></div></div></div><p>
The Xorg server has previously allowed users to exit the server
by pressing the keys
<span class="keycap"><strong>Control</strong></span> +
<span class="keycap"><strong>Alt</strong></span> +
<span class="keycap"><strong>Backspace</strong></span>.
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.
</p><p>
Users who wish to have this functionality available by default
may enable it via the XKB configuration option
“<code class="option">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</code>”. For
instance, the <span class="command"><strong>setxkbmap</strong></span> command can be used
to enable this by running:
</p><pre class="screen">
setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
</pre><p>
Configuration Guide</a> also includes
xorg.conf.d file that sets the
“<code class="option">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</code>”
option by default on all keyboards</a>.
Many desktop environments include XKB configuration options in
their preferences to enable this as well.
</p></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Grab_debugging_keystrokes"></a>Grab debugging keystrokes</h4></div></div></div><p>
The Xorg server in this release provides various functions
that can be mapped to keystrokes to aid in the debugging of
programs with errant input grabs.
</p><p>
The keysyms <span class="keysym">XF86LogGrabInfo</span> and
<span class="keysym">XF86LogWindowTree</span> are defined to
print information to the Xorg log file on the current set
of input grabs, and the window tree of the current display.
By default, these are available for use, but not mapped to any key.
</p><p>
The keysym <span class="keysym">XF86Ungrab</span> forces the X server
to release all active grabs, which may leave the clients holding
them in an inconsistent state. <span class="keysym">XF86ClearGrab</span>
goes further, killing the client connection of any client holding
an active grab when it is pressed. These keystrokes are
intended to allow developers to debug clients which are not
properly releasing grabs or have problems occur while input is
grabbed. Since grabs are a fundamental part of the X
client security model, these keystrokes come with risks, such
as the ability to bypass or kill screen locks without knowing
the password, and thus are not available by default.
</p><p>
Users who are willing to accept the security risk and wish to enable
this functionality may do so via the XKB configuration option
“<code class="option">grab:break_actions</code>”.
</p><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Security issue in older xkeyboard-config releases</h3><p>
The xkeyboard-config data files included in this release have
the grab disabling keys correctly disabled by default, but
versions before xkeyboard-config 2.5 had them enabled, leading
to the security risk described above. When upgrading to the
X server in this release be sure to also ensure xkeyboard-config
is a safe version. More details about this issue may be found

Most of the modules in this release use stricter compiler flags
when building with the GNU gcc, LLVM clang, Oracle Solaris Studio,
or Intel compilers. These flags both enable more warnings, and
promote some warnings to fatal errors in the build. If these
flags cause your build to fail, you can disable the flags that
turn these selected warnings into errors by adding
<code class="option">--disable-selective-werror</code> to the configure command
for the affected module. If that is necessary for any X.Org modules,
please report a bug in the xorg product on
<a class="ulink" href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/" target="_top">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/</a>.
</p><p>
Builders seeking even stricter compiler checks can instead pass
<code class="option">--enable-strict-compilation</code> to the configure command
to make all warnings become errors.
