The main highlight of this release are RandR 1.5 with reworked
multi-monitor support, GLAMOR optimizations and better generic
modesetting driver support.
1.17.4:
Fixes an uninitialized fd_set
1.17.3:
Various bugfixes across the board. The most visible changes include
fixing GLX extension setup under Xwayland and other non-Xorg servers
(enabling core contexts in more scenarios), and various stability fixes
to glamor and the Present extension.
- always include dri3 support with dri option (can still use dri2)
- always include GLAMOR support with dri option
- enable xtrans file descriptor passing
- require mesa 11
- Bump PKGREVISION
GLAMOR is experimental OpenGL accelerated 2D graphics. It works with
xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-intel but must be explicitly enabled.
Sample configuration:
---8<---
# /usr/pkg/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-glamor.conf
Section "Module"
Load "dri2"
Load "glamoregl"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "radeon" # or intel
Driver "radeon" # or intel
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"

Please note that the previous version is still available in
x11/modular-xorg-server112 in case this version does not work for you.
This is relevant for users who need DRI1 and/or XAA as those features have
been deprecated and removed by upstream since xorg-server-1.13.
Note also that this update breaks the driver ABI and that drivers will be need
to be rebuilt.
Summary of the important changes since 1.12:
xorg-server-1.17 (4 February 2015)
- Generic DRM/KMS driver xf86-video-modesetting
xorg-server-1.16 (17 July 2014)
- XWayland DDX
- GLAMOR acceleration
- non-PCI devices support
- systemd-logind support (rootless X)
xorg-server1.15 (27 December 2013)
- DRI3
- "present" extension
xorg-server-1.14 (5 March 2013)
- XInput 2.3
xorg-server1.13 (5 September 2012)
- New DDX driver API
- DRI2
- RandR 1.4
- OpenGL 3.x+ contexts
- XAA support removed

through libdrm)

AIUI we do not want the X server package to depend on these fonts
directly. (If this is not the case, or no longer is, they should be
added to DEPENDS.)

Subject: [PATCH] Avoid use-after-free in dix/dixfonts.c: doImageText()
Save a pointer to the passed in closure structure before copying it
and overwriting the *c pointer to point to our copy instead of the
original. If we hit an error, once we free(c), reset c to point to
the original structure before jumping to the cleanup code that
references *c.
Since one of the errors being checked for is whether the server was
able to malloc(c->nChars * itemSize), the client can potentially pass
a number of characters chosen to cause the malloc to fail and the
error path to be taken, resulting in the read from freed memory.
Since the memory is accessed almost immediately afterwards, and the
X server is mostly single threaded, the odds of the free memory having
invalid contents are low with most malloc implementations when not using
memory debugging features, but some allocators will definitely overwrite
the memory there, leading to a likely crash.

While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
