[ANNOUNCE] xorg-server 1.8.0
The X.org X server 1.8.0 is now available. It's pretty close to RC2, with some XQuartz and Cygwin/X changes, and some various input cleanups. One other notable change since RC3 is that udev is now the default input device autoconfiguration mechanism where available, and the server installs a 10-evdev.conf file to make sure you get input devices after installing the new server.

I'm not entirely sure that using only one xorg.conf.d directory is the
right plan.
It might be hard to make it do the right thing with the command line
-configdir option, but all that code is pretty goofy and I would guess
not used much anymore. But as long as all the files end up in one
xorg.conf.d, the server will keep looking along all the myriad paths
detailed in xorg.conf(5) till it finds one.
Here's what I think would be more sane (assuming --sysconfdir=/etc):
xorg.conf:
1. For root, full path from -config
2. For any user, /etc/X11 + path basename from -config
3. /etc/X11/xorg.conf
xorg.conf.d:
1. For root, full path from -configdir
2. For any user, /etc/X11 + path basename from -configdir
3. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
Export the default in xorg-server.pc:
confdir=${sysconfdir}/X11/xorg.conf.d
Then it's straightforward to know where the right location is.

Glad to hear someone else noticed it :-) I started a repository on github (http://github.com/x-quadraht/pscroll) and imported a few projects that might need to be changed. But after becoming more familiar with the X.org architecture I realised the fix actually might be quite small. I've already modified xorg-input-evdev to send exact relative wheel motions again, and report the resolution back to X.org. No change to X.org itself was required. The applications can identify the right valuator via XI2 and get the resolution info. So what's missing is support in frameworks like GTK/Qt, and the change of the synaptics input driver. The frameworks just need to detect the new valuator via XI2, and listen to the valuator events instead of the old button presses (which will still be sent out). As I'm just finishing another project of mine, I won't have time for pscroll in the next two weeks, but after that at least a patch for firefox should be ready, as that is the most annoying occurance of clicky-scrolling for me.

CLIPBOARD selection doesn't save content
Hi there,
OK, this is kind of a longer story. Since ~4 weeks I'm trying to create
a C extension for the Ruby programming language (I'm sure you don't have
to know Ruby to answer this question, since it's almost C code) that
allows to read from and write to the X clipboards. I've searched through
the web many, many times, but wasn't able to find any reasonable example
code on how to do this, and finally I looked into the source code of the
xsel and xclip commands which helped me quite a lot. With this, and with
further web research and search through the X11 specification and other
documents, I was able to get the reading part up and running, for the
PRIMARY, SECONDARY and CLIPBOARD selections. Now, I'm trying to
implement writing, only for the CLIPBOARD selection, since that one's
contents should persist across program death. I know, I have to acquire
CLIPBOARD's ownership; afterwards the xclipboard process would send me a
TARGETS request asking me what data I provide. I answer this with
TARGETS, UTF8_STRING, XA_STRING and TIMESTAMP, which should cause
xclipboard to ask me for UTF8_STRING or XA_STRING, but... It doesn't.
Instead, if I try to paste the copied text into an application, my
program gets a request from that application rather than from
xclipboard. Further more, when my program finishes, the data is gone. So
I suppose, something is wrong at my side.

Yeah, that's why I picked the 'secondary' path supported by the server
so that a directory in /etc/X11 would completely override these files.
Sounds like we need to fix the server config file search path to look in
a sensible place rather than $(prefix)/etc/X11
This is untested, but I think the patch below is all it would take to
add support for a second system directory in $prefix/lib/X11 with
lowest priority.
This is already in {USER,ROOT}_CONFIGDIRPATH, shouldn't it be removed
from there if we add a new search path?
Cheers,
Julien

Yeah, probably. It was more of a proof of concept patch. Now would be
the best time to look at those standard search paths and make them
sane. There's no real reason to repeat the nonsense in the xorg.conf
searching.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but what's wrong with using
e.g. $prefix/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ for distro packages and
$sysconfdir/X11/xorg.conf.d/ for local sysadmin?
