Log message:
486. Add "automatic configuration" support for the XFree86 server, allowing
it to be started in a useful way without an XF86Config file.
- Add support to the config file parser for processing internally
supplied configuration data.
- Modify the algorithm for finding core input devices to maximise the
likelihood that they will be found.
- Add a FindDevice function to the OSMouse interface, allowing
an OS-specific function to be called to find the mouse device when
none is specified in the configuration. Implementations included for
Linux and FreeBSD.
- Add a GuessProtocol function to the OSMouse interface, allowing
an OS-specific function to be called as a fallback when the mouse
protocol can't otherwise be detected. Implementation included for
Linux.
- Bump the OSMouse interface version to 1.1 with the addition of the
above two functions.
- An interface for calling an external utility "getconfig" to generate
some configuration data. Implementation of getconfig included.
- Generate a default internal configuration, autodetecting as much
as possible, with reasonable fallbacks.
- Recognise "DefaultDepth" and "DefaultFbbpp" options in the Device
section.
- Add a "TargetRefreshRate" option to help prevent modes with too
high a resolution (and poor refresh rate) being used as the default.
- Use DDC-probed mode timings to estimate the monitor parameters when
the DDC-probed information doesn't include a DS_RANGES property.
This should improve the reliability of monitor auto-detection.
