Hi All,
As I already mentioned in my self-introduction mail I'm a new member of
Red Hat's graphics team. One of the first things I'll be working on is
systemd integration, specifically support for the new systemd-logind
org.freedesktop.login1.Session TakeControl / TakeDevice and friends dbus
calls, which should allow Xorg to be able to run without root rights
on Linux machines with kms graphics, for detail see:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/logind/
Since I'm working on systemd integration Peter Hutterer has asked me to take
a look at the (mostly) unrelated systemd socket activation patches Samsung
has posted a while back:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.devel/36092/focus=37694
I've reviewed and tested them, and done some minor cleanups to the
"Enable systemd socket activation" libxtrans patch. With these cleanups
added I believe these are ready to be pushed.
If someone wants to give these patches a test-run themselves, here are
some simple test instructions:
1) Create a file named /etc/systemd/system/xorg.socket with the following
contents:
[Unit]
Description=Xorg DISPLAY=:1.0 socket
[Socket]
ListenStream=/tmp/.X11-unix/X1
[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
2) Create a file named /etc/systemd/system/xorg.service with the following
contents:
[Unit]
Description=Xorg DISPLAY=:1.0 Service
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/Xorg :1
[Install]
Also=xorg.socket
are these two files something we should ship with the server (as examples,
not install them) or with systemd?
Given that this is mostly for more embedded setups and it does not work
with xdm/gdm, I'm not sure shipping these as example is a good idea.
They won't be usable ootb in anyway, integration work will need to be done
by distros who want to use this (bypassing xdm or equivalent). I think
shipping these may do more harm then help.
I guess we could add the above to the commit msg for the xserver
configure.ac changes ?
Regards,
Hans
