of itself, but cuts down on noise from libdrm and MesaLib in X11_TYPE=native
bulk builds. Also, only enable the Present extension if building with DRI.
- 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"
EndSection
---8<---
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
are only a handful of changes in this dot release, and with the pending
release of 1.13 next month, it's likely that this may be the final scheduled
release from the 1.12 branch; we will likely put out additional releases
from this branch, but they will no longer follow the standard 6-week
development cycle.
This version is identical to the previous release candidate except for
version numbers.

Lots of changes since last pkgsrc version 1.4.x.
Based on patches provided by Hasso Tepper on pkgsrc-users.
Enable dri by default.
NOTE: You must install new versions of all dependencies, old ones
won't work!
This long-overdue update brings many improvements:
- Many improvements to EXA
- Input Hotplugging via HAL or dbus (not enabled yet)
- Support for RandR 1.2. Users using a dual-head configuration are
encouraged to see <http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR> for more
information.
- The server now uses the same version of Mesa we have in pkgsrc;
this likely will result in more reliable OpenGL/DRI operation.
I realize that this server is still not the latest release (1.5.0);
upgrading to that version will require an involved mesa update,
libpciaccess, etc. I hope that by the next quarter, that work will be done.
Please file a problem report and/or contact us via the usual means
(mailing lists, etc.) should you encounter any issues.
