As this module should be independent of the XFree86 driver interfaces, it should live in Xserver/miext instead, alongside the shadow frame buffer code. > Where should I look to generate the list of functions which would need to > be implemented ? The usual suspects can be found in any rendering wrapping module; software cursors, backing store and shadow frame buffer are three such examples. > Are we just going for 8bit pseudocolor on 24 bit directcolor, > or is it worth trying 5bit pseudo on 15/16 bit directcolour too ? I'm not sure 5-bit is interesting; many legacy apps assume 256 writable colormap entries or they'd work with a 5x5x5 cube preallocated by Render. > Can anyone point me at instructions for testing an X server, > once I thing I have it working ? I know about I've just updated the Makefile for building the X test suite documentation; that's found in the test module (test/xsuite/xtest/doc). Perhaps those would be of interest? In particular, the 'pt -i' command runs a single test from the current directory (one of xsuite/xtest/tset/*/*).
