The -L flag was removed in 1989. This enables the legacy keyboard driver again when the server is started with -keeptty (bd6cacdd3661)
X.Org Bug 89653 <http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89653> Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <[email protected]> --- No idea what exactly is going on here, I tried to bisect the server to get some hints what triggers what there are too many moving targets. Either way, with this patch applied, a basic xorg.conf that uses the kbd driver works again with startx/xinit (provided a suid Xorg binary of course) Thanks to alanc for digging up the commit that removed the -L option. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~alanc/xc-historical/commit/xc/programs/xterm?id=46fc268c21d01cf0d664c84e5d03f785b2b2e5ce xinit.c | 6 +----- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/xinit.c b/xinit.c index 1b04911..74fda74 100644 --- a/xinit.c +++ b/xinit.c @@ -417,11 +417,7 @@ startServer(char *server_argv[]) * at xinit when ready to accept connections */ signal(SIGUSR1, SIG_IGN); - /* - * prevent server from getting sighup from vhangup() - * if client is xterm -L - */ - setpgid(0,getpid()); + Execute(server_argv); Error("unable to run server \"%s\"", server_argv[0]); -- 2.3.2 _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
