There's really no reason to pretend to support this, apps hate it, all we're doing is giving people a way to injure themselves. It doesn't work anyway with any Radeon, any NVIDIA chip, or any Intel chip since i810. Rip out all the logic for handling 24bpp pixmaps and framebuffers, and silently ignore the old options that would ask for it. The cirrus alpine driver has been updated to default to 16bpp, and both it and the i810 driver can now use the 32->24 conversion code in shadow if they want. All other drivers support 32bpp. Configurations that explicitly request 24bpp in order to fit in VRAM will be broken now though. v2: Fix command line options to silently ignore 24bpp rather than fail Reviewed-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Signed-off-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.
