Indeed nothing depends on libXTrap besides xtrap(1) itself. But this message makes me even more suspicious of disabling Record. > See commmit f6a78ee143e3a3ad69538adf2b9675d724468ffa > XACE is built-in now OK, thanks. > I see XINERAMA in the list of extensions. It was in 1.3, but I don't see it in 1.5 in any mode. alanc on #xorg told me that it's only enabled "when needed". Either way, it may be a moot point, since I'm not sure about the usefulness of Xinerama on Cygwin anyway. > We have the option of doing --enable-xtrap --enable-record --enable-security > --enable-xf86bigfont, although it might make sense to wait until someone > moans > about the absence of these extensions... > > It should be fairly benign to leave these things hanging around, as an X > client built using them should be checking at runtime if the server supports > the extension they want to use. For Record, I think I would enable it now because of libXtst, which is in use; as for the others, if they are indeed deprecated and about to be removed, I think that since we're making the transition anyway, we might as well adjust to the fact that these are gone. So my thoughts are: * Enable Composite, add xcompmgr, and rebuild metacity. * Re-enable Record. * Disable DMX and remove dmxproto/libdmx, and rebuild xdpyinfo. * Disable XF86BigFont and remove xf86bigfontproto. * Disable Xinerama and remove xineramaproto. * Disable XTrap and remove trapproto/libXTrap/xtrap. * Remove unused printproto, xf86dgaproto, xf86miscproto, xf86vidmodeproto. Agreed?
