xorg 1:7.4+1 source package in Debian

Changelog

xorg (1:7.4+1) unstable; urgency=low


  [ Timo Aaltonen ]
  * scripts/vars.sparc: Remove sunbw2 from video-all, since monochrome
    support has been deleted from xserver 1.6.
  * scripts/vars.*: Drop mouse & kbd from input-all except for non-Linux
    archs.
  * scripts/vars, rules: Remove scripts/vars, hasn't been used since
    it was split.

  [ Julien Cristau ]
  * Xsession(5): fix the manpage references.
  * Xwrapper.config(5): X is installed as /usr/bin/X, not /usr/bin/X11R6/X.
  * Use case-insensitive matching when trying to replace obsolete drivers in
    xorg.conf.  Use the C locale to make sure this works as expected.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: drop duplicate definitions of the debug_echo and
    validate_string_db_input shell functions.
  * dexconf: don't try to get the driver from debconf.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: drop the code to pick a driver on sparc.  The
    server now autoconfigures sbus devices.
  * As a result of the previous change, remove the
    xserver-xorg/config/device/driver debconf template, and unregister it on
    upgrade.
  * We don't use dmidecode and fbset anymore (they were used for hardware
    detection), so stop adding Recommends on them.
  * dexconf: don't write empty Monitor and Screen sections.
  * dexconf: don't output an InputDevice section for mice.
  * dexconf: don't output an InputDevice section for keyboards.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: don't configure the keyboard layout.
  * remove keyboard-related debconf templates; unregister them on upgrade.
  * xserver-xorg.templates: don't give an ISA example for the BusID question,
    ISA support has been removed from the server.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: don't accept BusID values matching "ISA:*".
  * Don't set the UseFBDev option.  Remove the detection code from
    xserver-xorg.postinst, kill the debconf template and unregister it.
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: remove unused input validation functions.  Also
    remove the corresponding debconf templates.
  * Set the BusID in xorg.conf if we find more than one graphics card, to work
    around breakage in post-pciaccess xserver (can't find the primary PCI
    device).
  * xserver-xorg.postinst: allow setting the PCI domain in the BusID string.
  * Install a callout and an fdi file to read the configured keymap from
    /etc/default/console-setup, and set the corresponding keymap for keyboards
    in hal.  Both stolen from Ubuntu's hal package.
  * Depend on hal (>= 0.5.12~git20090406) for hal-set-property --direct.
  * Depend on console-setup (>= 1.29) to handle upgrades from lenny.
  * Add a NEWS entry to document the changes regarding configuration of input
    devices.
  * Re-add rgb.txt, some clients still use it, even though the server doesn't.
  * Upload to unstable.

  [ David Nusinow ]
  * Add an example xorg.conf to /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/examples. 
    This will give people something to copy from and modify for their own
    configurations

  [ Debconf translations ]
  * Esperanto. Closes: #503039
  * Asturian. Closes: #511623
  * Kazakh added. Closes: #521001
