X11R1

# X Window System, Version 11, Release 1 X11R1 was the first release of the X Window System, Version 11 from MIT. It was released in , with the following changes excerpted from the release notes. The sources are available for download for historical reference from http://www.x.org/releases/X11R1/. ## Overview Welcome to the first release of version 11 of The X Window System. This release represents a major redesign and enhancement of X and signals its graduation from the research community into the product engineering and development community. The X Window System version 11 is intended to be able to support virtually all known instances of raster display hardware and reasonable future hardware, including hardware supporting deep frame buffers, multiple colormaps and various levels of hardware graphics assist. A note about terminology is in order here. First, the document *X Window System Protocol, Version 11* is the definitive description of what is (and what is not) part of the core X Window System. This is distinct from the sample server implementation that forms the foundation of this release. The sample server is provided here for the benefit of developers who wish to quickly produce an implementation for a new piece of hardware. The sample server is not necessarily intended to be a reference implementation, although that remains a possibility for the future. Instead, it is our intention that future implementors will be able to rely on the protocol specification and related documents and not be forced to refer to the code. The sample server, with device-dependent and device-independent implementations as contributed from various places, will remain the foundation of the M.I.T. X Window System distribution. The C language interface defined by Xlib is only one of many possible language bindings to the protocol. While we certainly encourage standardization of the Xlib interface (and at least one international standards organization is considering this), we are not dogmatic on this point. Xlib has two somewhat conflicting requirements; first, it is the lowest level procedural interface to the X protocol. As such, it must implement all the nuances possible without encroaching on the vendors' and application developers' prerogative to set conventions for style. Xlib's second mission is to be the first level interface for applications development, in anticipation of future work (such as the toolkit) on common higher-level applications interfaces. In fulfillment of this objective, Xlib includes many "convenience routines" that are a re-packaging of one or more protocol operations to simplify common cases, and it includes several additional utility routines that have no direct relationship to the protocol but that are required when building "real" applications, such as window managers. The toolkit is a 'beta test' release. The design here should look familiar to those of you who used our early prototypes under version 10, but we have changed most of the interfaces in ways that we hope make the task of writing widgets much easier to accomplish. The earlier prototype toolkit is included on the tape for those of you who need it to assist your conversion. You should not expect it to appear on the next release. The clients provided on this release should not be construed as the correct way for them to be written, but should be regarded as what most of them really are: straight-forward ports of existing X version 10 clients. Only a few use the toolkit and only the old version at that. Those of you who used previous versions of X will find several differences in their input, output and options, not all of them documented. Some of the differences are intentional and some not. Feel free to let us know if you really think something is broken, but we will also feel free to respond with an alternative to your proposal. By default, X is distributed to install on a stock 4.3BSD system; installation under Ultrix-32 release 2.0 should essentially be the same. It has been known to compile and run on ATT System V systems but we haven't had access to such a system to verify this. ## Contents of this Release The enclosed tape contains nineteen megabytes of source files and documentation including: * A sample server with device-dependent layers (DDX) for several displays and vendors, including IBM, DEC, Apollo and Sun workstations. * Several libraries including a toolkit and both C and Common-Lisp language bindings for the X11 protocol. * Some bitmaps in include/bitmaps for use with xsetroot, et. al. * Several clients, including a terminal emulator and a toolkit-based client for browsing mh-style mail folders. * Some demo clients * Some random utilities to help you build this release There are many aspects to the software in this release, so in the following we provide a perusal of the release software by directory name, calling attention to salient features or notable bugs. To be brief, not all directories are present in this discussion. * clients/bitmap This is a very nice program for editing small bitmaps such as cursors or icons. However, it comes up a silly size under the "wm" window manager, and puts dialog box in wrong place. With the "woman" bitmap, the small images are corrupt on color screens (server bug likely). The program dumps core when colors are specified in .Xdefaults. * clients/emacs All that is provided here are the files that needed to change in gnuemacs so that it could use the X11 window system. You must obtain the complete source for this separately. Consult the files DISTRIB and README in this directory for more information. This implementation is known to be slow and to have screen-updating problems, especially when doing incremental searches with control-S. * clients/gnuplot This is a plotting program converted by an undergraduate summer student at MIT and he was never able to test it on anything but a microvax. The display window is totally white on Sun, for both BW and color. The program fails to link on Ultrix 2.0 because it is missing -lgamma on the load line. * clients/puzzle A very simple program that animates a game you probably carried in your pocket as a child. This really belongs in the hacks directory, but we noticed it too late. It doesn't center text in squares correctly when its window is created with the default height and width. The window never appears when run under wm. * clients/uwm This is the most mature window manager available on the release. Resizing with this window manager causes double exposures because of the tiny XxY display box placed over the window being resized and because of lack of save-unders. The server should do save-unders (the saving and restoring the contents of the screen under a very short-lived window), but in the interim, uwm should either place the display box outside the bounds of the resized window, or perhaps unmap the display box after resize, so that least both repaints are at the new size. The program doesn't deal with multiple screens. * clients/xcalc This is a clever tool that implements a hand-held calculator or a slide-rule on the screen. Unfortunatley, it dies with a parameter mismatch on ChangeWindowAttributes when the cursor leaves the xcalc window on color screen, and it dies immediately in -analog mode on a color screen. The program dumps core when run without a window manager in -analog mode, and has a strange initial window size when started under wm. * clients/xclock This displays digital or analog time. The "-update N" option has an old bug of not keeping the second hand pointing to a multiple of N seconds. It also doesn't center the time string in digital mode. * clients/xedit This is a nice attempt at implementing an editor under X11 using the toolkit. But it dumps core on a black-and-white Sun. It gets parameter mismatch for CreateGC when run on a color screen. It makes the assumption that background=white. Resizing this client sometimes seems to do strange things. * clients/xfd This program will display the X11 fonts. Pressing the right button should page through the font, but continues to wrap around and continue on forever. The -icon option doesn't seem to work with uwm. * clients/xhost This provides a way to allow or deny access to specific hosts. Regretably, it does not allow the user to enable/disable access control. * clients/xload This client displays the "load average" in a histogram plot, but it may need to be set-userid to root or set-groupid to kmem if the permissions to /dev/kmem don't allow normal users to read it. In addition, the toolkit widget may need to be reimplemented for your kernel. * clients/xlsfonts This client will list the fonts known to the server, but the undocumented -l option (long listing ala QueryFontsWithInfo) brings out a shortcoming in the sample server: it will freeze your display until the request is complete, which may take several seconds. * clients/xmh This is potentially a very nice interface to the mh-style tools used to read one's mail. But it gets parameter mismatch on CreateGC on a color screen. It, too, has the background=white assumption. * clients/xmodmap This client will allow you to change the modifier mappings of your keyboard. Sometimes, additions will fail because it doesn't know how to "stretch" the modifier map, but success is still indicated. * clients/xpr This program prints out a screendump created with xwd. It seems to have VAX byte order dependencies for -dev ps (postscript output). Postscript output generates printer errors sometimes. * clients/xprop It displays properties of windows and fonts, but it should have a way to get at subwindows. As is, it is useless under wm because it will only give information about the "frame" window. * clients/xrdb This client will take an Xdefaults file and load it into the server as a property for use by clients globally. * clients/xsetroot Among other things, try the command "xsetroot -bitmap include/bitmaps/woman". * clients/xterm This is the one and only terminal emulator for X11 available publicly. If it is resized by wm, it paints twice; once at the old size and once at the new. Selecting reverse video from the menu doesn't invert scroll bar. The -ms and -cr options don't work. * clients/xwd Dumping a window or a portion thereof is the purpose of this client. The -xy mode on color screens is broken (server bug likely). It doesn't retain button release during grab, resulting in spurious up event to the window you wanted dumped. If the output is desired in z format from a 1-bit screen, it duplicates a top stripe of the selected window instead of dumping the window as seen (server bug likely). It should check for the selected window being on-screen. Large windows cause the Xqdss server to dump core (server bug). * clients/xwininfo Like xprop, the program doesn't retain button release during grab, resulting in spurious up event to another window. * clients/xwud This client will dump to the screen, the file created by xwd, but a partial refresh of Z format image produces garbage (library bug). A 1-bit image on N-bit screen is garbled (server bug likely). It dies in strange ways on large color images. * contrib/InterViews This is the only software found in the "contributed software" directory: i.e. untested software. This is a C++ implementation of a toolkit and some clients. * demos/ico, muncher, plaid These are cute programs that do nothing but paint somewhat pretty pictures. They don't obey window resizing or exposure correctly. The "plaid" program needs to throttle output to keep other clients happy, but this may suggest that the server isn't round-robining properly. * demos/wm This is the "other" window manager; it is pretty simple minded, but it implements title bars, real-estate style window management and understands multiple screens. It seems to cause various clients grief, particularly with respect to initial size. It should do something about borders so that they arent always white, and when it closes down, it should restore rational borders. * doc As might be expected, this contains all the documentation. Any file in this directory named \*.ps or \*.psc can be handed directly to a postscript printer, as it is the postscript output from programs such as troff. * doc/Protocol Here you will find the formal description of the protocol, the numeric encoding of same and the keysym description. * doc/Server There are several documents in this directory dealing with the implementation of the sample server and helpful hints for porting. * doc/Xlib The C language X interface is documented here. The printed document is just under 300 pages and is quite complete. * doc/Xlib/Xman The section 3 man pages can be found here. If you can tolerate file names longer than 14 characters, you should consider running the (largely untested) shell script named "expand.names" in this directory that will change the prefix of the .3X files to names matching the names of the Xlib routines they describe. * doc/bugs A bug report template appears in this directory. * doc/releasenotes You will find the troff source for this document here. * extensions This directory contains a lib, server, test and include directory for two extensions: a useless trapezoid filling extensioin called "zoid" and a rather interesting one for implementing bezier curve fitting called "bezier". The beziertest program repaints on the wrong kind of events. * fonts/bdf The ascii representation of the fonts live in this directory. You should try to remember that the "bdf" stands for Bitmap Distribution Format. This format is an extension of Adobe, Inc's standard ASCII format for font distribution. It should be noted that you can purchase fonts from Adobe, Inc. in a format close to this. When doing so, you should ask for both the bitmap and the font metric files ('afm'), which are combined together for an X11 .bdf file. Please do not contact MIT to buy fonts. * fonts/snf This directory holds the compiled fonts. The "snf" stands for Server Natural Format. snf files are not portable between servers except in rare cases. * include/bitmaps Bitmap files found in this directory have a different format in X11 than they did in X10. The "bitmap" program can read files in either format, but always writes out X11-format files. In addition, there is a utility program called "bm-convert" which converts X10-format bitmap files to X11 format. For more information, see clients/bitmap/bitmap.man and util/bm-convert/bm-convert.doc. * lib/CLX This contains the Common - Lisp language interface to the X11 protocol and has been tested under TI, Symbolics, and Lucid. * lib/X Here you can find the source for the C - language interface to the X11 protocol. The next section is devoted to its discussion. * lib/Xrm This is the directory containing the implementation of the "new" resource manager. None of the clients use it and neither the old nor new toolkits use it. However, this will be the resource manager used in future releases. As soon as the new toolkit is stable and has been converted to use this, all clients will be converted as well. If you write a new client, it should use this resource manager. Note that both the new and the old resource manager are case-sensitive now. You should keep this in mind when you build your .Xdefaults file. * lib/Xtk The Xtk library ("new toolkit") is still in a very unfinished state. We've identified three bugs that cause problems on the Sun, but not on the Vax: * Resources.c fails to correctly handle resources whose size is 1; in particular, it gets confused on Boolean resources such as the "analog/digital" option to the Clock widget. There is currently special case code, surrounded by "#ifdef BIGENDIAN", to handle resources whose size is 2 (= sizeof(short)); this code probably needs to be extended to similarly handle resources whose size is 1. * Text.c incorrectly calls XtGetSubresources with a Display argument instead of the proper Widget argument. This core-dumps the "xtext" application instantly on a Sun. * AsciiSink.c contains bitmap constants declared as arrays of shorts, rather than arrays of char, and assumes that the shorts are stored in LSBFirst (little-endian) order. The result is that on big-endian machines such as the Sun, Text widgets don't display a caret at the insertion point. All of the widgets should be using XtCreateWindow instead of XCreateWindow, but currently none of them do. The SetValues routines in most of the widgets are either incorrect or are complete no-ops. None of the widgets' SetValues routines have been exercised by any code yet, with the exception of the "top-level" widget that is returned by XtInitialize. The IBM hc compiler will not compile lib/Xtk directory, but the pcc compiler will. We suggest you build this directory by hand with pcc before doing a full make. * lib/Xtk/clients With the exception of "xboxes", all the sample clients in this subdirectory run more-or-less correctly on a Vax. However, various bugs become evident when you run them on a Sun. For instance, "xtext" immediately core-dumps, and "xclock" comes up in digital mode regardless of .Xdefaults options or command line arguments. * lib/oldX This library contains code that existed in X10 such as the "XAssocTable" routines and an implementation of the X10 XDraw and XDrawFilled requests that turn spline descriptions into X11 PolyLine requests. You should not assume that these routines will continue to exist in this form in future releases. * lib/oldXMenu This is a deck-of-cards menu facility that has simply been ported to X11 and is known to run slowly. Eventually, this will be subsumed by a menu widget in the toolkit. * lib/oldXrm This is the "old" resource manager as it appeared on the Beta release. It will remain a part of the release only as long as there remains a client that has not been converted to the new resource manager. * lib/oldXtk This contains the "old" toolkit, with the old intrinsics interface. As soon as the new toolkit becomes stable all clients will be converted to it and this will not appear on future releases. Currently, only xload, xmh, xclock, xedit and xterm use this toolkit. * server/ddx/apollo This holds the Apollo device-dependent code (ddx) for the sample server. It will run on any Apollo display, color or monochrome, but it will only do 1-bit black-and-white graphics. You should consult the README file in this directory before trying to build an Apollo server. The only problem not mentioned there is that the server builds with about a half-dozen undefined variables, but since they are never referenced, the server runs. * server/ddx/cfb In here, Sun Microsystems has placed a "generic" analogue of "mfb" for memory color frame-buffers. The code has been tested only on displays with a pixel size of 8 bits, both with all 8 planes implemented (Sun) and less than 8 planes implemented (HP). As distributed, it is set up for 8-bit pixels with all 8 planes implemented. The code is intended to be highly portable, and to use as much as possible of the "mi" code. As a result, it is very slow, but very portable. You should read the README file in this directory before using it for a new port. * server/ddx/ibm IBM has provided us with ddx layers for IBM PC/RT with AED and/or APA16/APA19 display. The hc compiler available on this machine is known to have problems with *foo++ = *bar++ constructs. To get around this, you should run the command "RTSETUP init" in this directory before the server is built. This will build patch, makedepend and imake, then it will patch sources for the sake of the RT compiler (miregion.c and ../../../lib/Xtk/Imakefile). Finally, it will build and depend the makefiles. After this, a top-level make should complete without errors. Note that source files will be patched only if the "init" argument is specified on the command line. * server/ddx/lk201 This is the ddx driver code for the keyboard used by most DEC displays. * server/ddx/mfb This is the "monochrome frame-buffer" ddx code. If you are beginning a new port and plan to use this, you should read the code very carefully in maskbits.h and the comments in ../../include/servermd.h, and then choose appropriate constants for IMAGE_BYTE_ORDER, BITMAP_BIT_ORDER, GETLEFTBITS_ALIGNMENT and GLYPHPADBYTES. * server/ddx/mi This is the "machine-independent" ddx layer. * server/ddx/qdss The pre-compiled libraries found here are are for DEC's GPX display. No source code is available. * server/ddx/qvss This holds the DEC version of the QVSS display ddx code. * server/ddx/sun This is the directory containing general Sun ddx code. It expects to be linked with the cfb code. You should consult the README file in this directory before using this server. * server/dix In here are the sources for the device-independent layer of the sample server. * util/bm-convert This is a special utility for converting X10-format bitmaps to X11-style. Alternatively, you can run the bitmap program, which can read X10-format bitmaps and will always write X11-format bitmaps. This program will never be built unless you explicitly do so in this directory. * util/imake This facility has become crucial to the maintenance of the X11 source tree. If you have a machines other that what this release has been tested for, I suggest that you read the man page (found in this directory) very carefully. This is the program used to create all the Makefiles from the files named "Imakefile" throughout the source tree. * util/imake.includes This is where the header files and template are kept for the imake utility. You should study the \*.macros files carefully to decide how to configure your machine. * util/makedepend This utility is used to generate make(1) dependencies for all the .o files. It runs an order of magnitude faster than any other implementation of a dependency-generator by caching the include files for each directory. * util/patch This is the source-code patching utility written by Larry Wall and distributed in mod.sources. If there are patches sent out from MIT, this program can be used to apply them. This program will never be built unless you explicitly do so in this directory. * util/rgb This the the unchanged X10 version of program by the same name. It reads a text file describing a set of colors, and creates a database for the server to consult. * util/vtobdf This program reads a Sun vfont file and creates a character bitmap distribution format file. ### Your .Xdefaults file In previous releases of X, the specification of configuration options in the .Xdefaults file was not case-sensitive, although this fact was never explicitly mentioned in any documentation. For version 11, we have chosen to define the contents of .Xdefaults to be case-sensitive. This is not yet fully implemented; some clients may still allow non-matching case in their options. The principal reason for this change is the addition of option "classes" to the Resource Manager, where before everything was only an option "instance". The new naming and classing hierarchy will enable users to customize large parts of client interfaces with much fewer lines than before, at the expense of having to read the man pages somewhat more carefully when customizing. ## Xlib - C Language X Interface These notes document the known problems in the base X library as of the first release of X Version 11, as well as some comments of what has changed during the last phases of beta test, since the beta test was so large. Bugs reported after early September are unlikely to have been fixed unless extremely important. My thanks to the beta testers for their efforts and comments. XPutImage was extensively reworked at the last moment; see the comments at the beginning of the routine. There are a few remaining nits with nibble swapping. XGetImage semantics are slightly different than during most of beta test. If you only ask for certain planes in x-y mode, the image returned is of the depth of the number of planes requested. XPutSubImage in Z format does not work properly. XPending still uses FIONREAD, which means that it does not detect dropped connections properly. This was the cause of many client looping bugs when connections failed on V10. It should be be recoded to use a non-blocking read of 0 bytes to get status back. XGetDefault now has the correct interface with a (Display *) as the first argument. Note that during beta test, the document was correct, and the code was wrong. Your code which you may have been running during beta test using this routine will have to be converted. The types of members of some structures in Xlib.h were fixed so that machines on which int=16 bits would work correctly. Some members were declared int but were plane masks and should have been declared unsigned long. Some other members were renamed to type Bool and Time, though the underlying type did not change. The region code in the library has been regenerated after extraction from the server. Since no one reported a single bug in the region code during beta test and we know there were many bugs in it from server bug reports, it clearly was not heavily exercised (if at all) then. There ought to be some way to generate a region from a series of exposure events, to make it very easy to do clever repaint on exposure of only exposed areas, using the GC region. No one volunteered to specify it/write it, so there still is no way. The region code was known to be buggy during beta test, which may have reduced the inclination. V10 conversion aid code documented in the X manual appendix is in a separate library; to link against it under UNIX add a -loldX to your link command. The resource manager is currently split out into a separate library called Xrm. It will be merged in a future release. This occurred since the tool kit did not get converted to use the correct interfaces. The old (beta version) is in oldXrm and is still used by the tool kits. Since the X tool kit is the primary user of the resource manager, this also means that the current resource manager has not had the extensive exercise of the rest of the library (or even of the old resource manager), and will undergo some final changes before being incorporated, though the interface is believed correct except for XrmPutResource, which should take a string rather than a quark. This change was dropped on the floor until after the code had been frozen for release. Note that only applications linked against one of the resource manager libraries will use the error database as documented in the manual. Clients linking only against Xlib will only print the default strings. Until the next MIT release, you should therefore understand that it is conceivable that these routines may change interfaces; somewhat more likely is that more sophisticated matching will be implemented without interface changes. The most unfortunate part of this is that only XGetDefault in the new resource manager knows how to deal with the server resource data base property. (See the xrdb utility). (One of the real pains to life in V10 was keeping your .Xdefaults file up to date on all the machines you used). The library is not as portable to some machine architectures as we would like. The changes required to deal with the Cray for example, were more extensive than we wished to incorporate during beta test, affecting too many files with insufficient time for shake down. My apologies to them, since it will have cost them additional work until the changes are made. Machines on which short!=16 bits may have difficulty in a port at the moment. The V10 functionality that allowed remapping keys to strings read in from a file did not get reimplemented, due to upheavals during both alpha and beta tests in keyboard handling in general. This is less needed in V11, where there is global renaming of keysyms, but would still be nice to have. The compose processing (yuk) in XLookupString is not implemented. There are an extensive set of routines/macros for extracting screen structure information added late in beta test. The tool kit is being reorganized to deal with multiple screen applications in a graceful way, and these additions were clearly useful. Manual pages for Xlib now exist, though are quite terse. Extensive work on the Xlib manual took place; the most glaring deficiencies are the lack of illustrations in the right places. There will be some additional work on the manual until it goes to Digital Press for printing as a book. We still don't have an introductory Xlib Primer. Any volunteers out there? Locking for multi-threading is still untested. Unix needs a new system call interface! ## Credits Whereas the design and implementation of the first 10 versions of X were primarily the work of three individuals, Robert Scheifler of the M.I.T. Laboratory for Computer Science and Jim Gettys of Digital Equipment Corporation and Ron Newman of M.I.T., both working at Project Athena, X version 11 is the result of the efforts of literally dozens of individuals at almost as many locations and organizations. At the risk of offending some of the players by exclusion, several people deserve special credit and recognition.

Thanks also to DARPA, for supporting the research side of the X protocol. Our undying gratitude to Todd Brunhoff (and to Tektronix for sending him); Todd performed wonders in making the alpha and beta tests happen, filtering bug reports, integrating sources from everywhere, putting the releases and updates together, and generally hacking up a storm. Infinite thanks to Ken Goldman, MIT, for accepting thousands of phone calls, mail messages, being patient, sending out documentation, and generally keeping us insulated from the outside world. Great appreciation goes to Phil Karlton and Scott McGregor, both of DEC, for their considerable contributions to the specification of the version 11 protocol. Also Sue Angebranndt, Raymond Drewry and Todd Newman of DEC's Western Software Laboratory, with Phil, have worked long and hard to produce the sample server implementation. Special thanks must also go to Sam Fuller, Vice President of Research at DEC, who has remained committed to the widest public availability of X and who foresaw a year ago the need to greatly supplement Project Athena's resources with the WSL staff in order to make version 11 a reality. Many thanks from us and the several vendors who have a head start on porting X11 to their color frambuffers goes to Dave Rosenthal of Sun Microsystems. He provided the sample generic color frame buffer ddx code and also contributed to the protocol. Many other people made it happen, either with code or documentation; so many of these people worked on more than one major component of the system (toolkits, libraries, applications, servers) that we have not attempted to list people by component:
