This comes from Mesa commit acdcef6788beaa2a1532e13ff84c3e246b8025ed Previously, each driver had to tell DRI2 what GL driver object should be loaded. Originally for a 2D driver that was a matter of giving the constant string for the vendor name, same as the driver's name. For a driver that's trying to handle multiple generations of hardware with different Mesa driver filenames, the driver had to bake in a mapping from PCI ID to the appropriate driver name in Mesa, which seems like a pretty awful layering violation (and one that was fixed with DRI3) As of January, Mesa now handles the mapping from a DRI fd to the driver name on its own, but the AIGLX loader still relies on DRI2 for choosing the filename. Instead of propagating the PCI ID list from each 2D driver to the modesetting driver, import a central copy of the PCI ID list so that drivers can stop handling this themselves. (Some day, when AIGLX transitions to EGL, we can drop the DRI2 filename setup entirely). Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Reviewed-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com>
X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
