      [ Christopher James Halse Rogers ]
      * debian/patches/100_rethrow_signals.patch:
        - Drop, in favour of getting LightDM to pass -core to the server. This
          upstream mechanism is significantly more reliable at dumping core in
          my testing. We may later wish to improve this with some processing in
          the apport hook.

      [ Maarten Lankhorst ]
      * Refresh patches to apply on x-server 1.12
        - patch-x-indent.sh from xorg-pkg-tools was used to redo coding style

        xorg-edgers
      * Rest was refreshed with patch-x-indent.sh to survive coding style changes

      [ Bryce Harrington ]
      * Drop 209_add_legacy_bgnone_option.patch: lightdm and other *dm's have
        switched to the new standard -background option.  No need to continue
        providing the legacy -nr synonym.
      * Drop 201_report-real-dpi.patch:  Commented out in series.
      * Drop 198_nohwaccess.patch: Rootless-X no longer a development focus
        for us; the patch would need reworked anyway to provide proper
        support.
      * Drop 166_nullptr_xinerama_keyrepeat.patch: Fixed differently upstream
        in commit 24e682d0, as verified by original reporter.
    
    xorg-server (2:1.12.1.902-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      [ Julien Cristau ]
      * xvfb-run: kill Xvfb when the script dies.
      * xvfb-run: instead of waiting 3 seconds and hoping that's enough for Xvfb
        to come up (and waiting 2.9 seconds too many in the general case), tell it
        to send us SIGUSR1 when it's ready to accept connections.  This reduces
        "xvfb-run -- xterm -e true" from ~3.2s to ~0.4s on a quick test.
      * xvfb-run: fix xauth handling; setting XAUTHORITY when starting an X server
        isn't actually useful, we need to use the -auth command-line parameter
        instead.  Somehow this seems to have been broken all these years and
        nobody noticed...
    
      [ Cyril Brulebois ]
