Added support for IBM space saver keyboard (Stefan Dirsch). Added support
for Cherry CyMotion Master XPress (Marcus Schaefer).
Change order of SetDisplayDevice(), HWRestore(), UnbindGART() and
RestoreBIOSMemSize() to be exactly opposite to the Save procedure in
EnterVT() (Matthias Hopf, Alan Hourihane).
Fix text mode restauration by removing the assumption that the register
which determines which head is programmed is set. to the active head by
the BIOS (Mark Vojkovich).
When I wrote the resource code 5 years ago I made some assumptions which
turned out to be false: I've assumed that the bus number of the PCI
hostbridge would be the PCI bus the bridge links to. This is not
correct. Fixing this assumption is not easy. However I hope that the
attached patch will make the system work regardless as it 'ignores'
host bridges from which the target bus is not known. This should not
matter at all as we really don't care about host bridges (unless we
have bridge specific code which retrieves information about the
bridge).
Fixed server crash on reset when a structure allocated in PreInit() was
freed on CloseScreen().
Fixed ring buffer lock ups that happened because the structure that
contained ringbuffer data was not zeroed after allocation.
Fixed numerous warnings due to signed unsigned comparisons.
programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_driver.c:
(NVBacklightEnable): Changed the order in which the sequencer registers
and the backlight control registers are written. The sequencer control
register need to be written first otherwise DPMS screen blanking
produces vertical bars on a mobile device. lib/Xau/Imakefile: Build
libXau static library PIC so it can be linked into toolkits that would
like to wrap its functionality.
Information for NVidia NV1 / SGS-Thomson STG2000 Users

1. XFree driver for NVidia NV1 / SGS-Thomson STG2000 v1.0
This driver now accelerates bitblits and filled rectangles. It also support a
hardware cursor. More graphic acceleration is planned. There is no plan to
support the audio functionality of the chip.
1.1 Notes
o THE DRIVER DOES NOT SUPPORT THE VIRTUAL DESKTOP FEATURES OF XFREE86 This
is because the NV1 does not have the necessary hardware to support this
feature. If you want to change resolutions, you will have to modify your
config file. Comment out all but the mode you wish to use.
o The generic VGA16 server will not work with the NV1. For this reason
XF86Setup cannot be used to configure the server. Use xf86config
instead. Select `Diamond Edge 3D' as your board, and select only ONE
mode for each of 8bpp and 16bpp. Do not select a virtual desktop.
Also, make sure you don't select a RAMDAC or clock chip.
o The NV1 only supports a 555 RGB Weight in 16 bpp, the hardware does not
do 565. You must put a Weight 555 in the Display section.
o 24/32 bpp mode is not yet supported.
1.2 Known Bugs
o The driver should force Weight 555 in 16 bpp mode
o The hardware cursor doesn't work if an doublescan mode is selected.
o Screen blanking doesn't work, nor does DPMS.
