linux/poky.git/meta/recipes-graphics/x11-common/xserver-nodm-init, branch master

The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

2025-11-07T13:31:53+00:00

You can either: a) switch to individual clones of bitbake, openembedded-core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs b) use the new bitbake-setup You can find information about either approach in our documentation: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ Note that "poky" the distro setting is still available in meta-yocto as before and we continue to use and maintain that. Long live Poky! Some further information on the background of this change can be found in: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2179 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

xserver-nodm-init: improve XDG_RUNTIME_DIR fallback creation

2025-03-05T21:26:54+00:00

This directory must have mode 0700, and should be under /run/user (as recommended in the specification, and as weston-init does). Also check the permissions if the directory already exists and fail early if they're incorrect.

xserver-nodm-init: Fix the start failure for non-root user

2020-02-13T12:19:14+00:00

In order to start the xserver, a non-root user should have the cap_sys_admin capability to set the drm master. We try to get the cap_sys_admin capability by setting it in both the thread and file inheritable set. The side effect of this is that we would have to add the "pam" to the distro features if we want use the xserver-nodm-init for a non-root user.

xserver-nodm-init: Respawn service in case of failure

2018-04-13T15:58:07+00:00

It appears that sometimes xserver-nodm.service is starting before display driver finished loading causing the following failure in Xorg log: (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory The introduced by this patch is to restart the service, hopefully the display driver will finish loading.

xserver-nodm-init: option to remove cursor

2017-03-27T07:15:06+00:00

Add a PACKAGECONFIG option to allow the user to disable the mouse cursor/pointer in the X server. This might be useful where a touchscreen is used. (From OE-Core rev: 680940250c9a1c7b43229c5e4f4fed5cc3e31033) Signed-off-by: Trevor Woerner Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

x11-common: Merge into xserver-nodm-init

2016-11-30T15:48:05+00:00

Move the (non-factual) x utils dependencies from x11-common to x11 packagegroup. Remove some obsolete configuration from x11-common: * Xsession.d/12keymap.sh: commented out xmodmap call for kdrive * default.xmodmap: xmodmap file used by 12keymap.sh * Xdefaults: rxvt configuration At this point x11-common is just /etc/X11/Xsession and three non-intrusive Xsession scripts: make these explicitly part of xserver-nodm-init. RCONFLICT with the versions of xserver-common that also provide these files. VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_xserver_common is no longer a real abstraction but preserve the setting for backwards compatibility (if the variable is set to "xserver-common", the right thing still happens).

xserver-nodm-init: Deprecate /etc/X11/Xserver

2016-09-09T10:53:36+00:00

This commit should provide the same functionality as before, but should make meta-oe xserver-nodm-init-2.0 obsolete as well as keep systemd and sysvinit startup better in sync. /etc/X11/Xserver is not called anymore: it is provided by both x11-common and xserver-common with no useful differences (but some annoying ones). Instead xserver-nodm-init provides /etc/xserver-nodm/Xserver as the startup script and /etc/default/xserver-nodm as the default settings file. These are used by both init systems. The Xserver script could be completely removed (with sysv and systemd calling xinit directly), but to keep compatibility with meta-oes xserver-nodm-init-2.0 the Xserver script sources /etc/X11/xserver-common if one exists -- and systemd EnvironmentFile cannot do that. x11-common used to have a packageconfig to easily control screen blanking. Move this to xserver-nodm-init. (From OE-Core rev: e8ce3d2626e505924a75de96650abca166fd230a) Signed-off-by: Jussi Kukkonen Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

xserver-nodm: Support reboot from inside X

2015-05-30T21:26:14+00:00

If reboot was called from inside the Xserver there could happen a race condition where chvt would never end, and therefore the whole system was stalled. The user could not recover the system by ssh the machine or using the keyboard. Running chvt in background fixes the issue. Also move sleep 1s inside stop to give time for killproc xinit for fix issue when chvt 1 don't work because X server is still running.

xserver-nodm-init: Change to vt1 when stop

2015-03-22T08:49:59+00:00

When X is stopped it remains in the same vt that was launched, change to vt1 instead to avoid manual vt switch. [YOCTO #5336] (From OE-Core rev: 6cf330bfbbb8ab7f9506bbed59ce6c2d90a0c1a2) Signed-off-by: Aníbal Limón Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

xserver-nodm-init: Only start in runlevel 5

2014-09-03T10:09:03+00:00

Runlevel 3 is often multi-user without X, so don't start the X server in runlevel 3. This allows one to start up a machine without X running from the bootloader. (From OE-Core rev: 116b8a48f0d701d8f0b7807144ffdb708aad215e) Signed-off-by: Dan McGregor Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
