xf86-video-nested: driver to run Xorg on top of Xorg or something else
= Usage =
This is how I test it:
X -config my.conf -noreset -retro :1
(if your Xorg server is old you might need "-sharevts vt7", in case your
bottom-layer X runs on vt7)
My xorg.conf:
-- begin xorg.conf --
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "false"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
Driver "nested"
Option "Display" ":0" # you can omit this
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "device1"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "Origin" "100 100" # you can omit this
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout1"
Screen "screen1"
EndSection
-- end xorg.conf --
Mouse and keyboard input events from the client window are forwarded to the nested
xserver, so no mouse/keyboard drivers are needed.
You can also have more than one screen with this driver. Here's an example of a
xorg.conf with 2 screens and a mouse:
-- begin xorg.conf --
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "false"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true"
