1. indent ifdefs
2. add some logic at start that unset NX_TRANS_WAKEUP and
NX_TRANS_DEBUG if NX_TRANS_SOCKET is unset. This way we only have to
check for one macro and not all three.
3. remove redundant macro checks
4. decouple debug printfs by always running the original code and adding the

&gt; Are they both the same ( -&gt; XTest extension ) ?
&gt; Can I put both symbols together ?

They're not the same extension.  XTest is the one you want, if you want
either.  The other hasn't been built by default in ages and I should probably
go ahead and nuke it from the tree.

    Clear ListenTransConns entries in CloseWellKnownConnections

    Since _XSERVTransClose frees the connection pointer passed to it,
    remove that pointer from the array, so we don't try to double free it
    if we come back into CloseWellKnownConnections again.

    Should fix https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6665 in which
    the shutdown section of the main() loop called CloseWellKnownConnections()
    and then moved on to ddxGiveUp(), which failed to release the VT and thus
    called AbortServer(), which called CloseWellKnownConnections() again.

    Avoid segfault in CloseWellKnownConnections when using -displayfd

    When -displayfd is looping through the possible display ids to use,
    if it can't open all the listening sockets for one (say when :0 is
    already in use), it calls CloseWellKnownConnections to close all
    the ListenTransConns entries before the point that ListenTransFds
    was allocated &amp; initialized, so CloseWellKnownConnections would
    segfault trying to read entries from a NULL ListenTransFds pointer.

    Remove non-smart scheduler. Don't require setitimer.

    This allows the server to call GetTimeInMillis() after each request is

    Keep SIGALRM restart flag after Popen

    Commit 94ab7455 added SA_RESTART to the SIGALRM handler.  However, the
    Popen code tears down and recreates the SIGALRM handler via OsSignal(),
    and this flag is dropped at this time.

    Clean the code to use just a single codepath for creating this signal
    handler, always applying SA_RESTART.

    Allow system call restarts upon signal interruption

    The X server frequently deals with SIGIO and SIGALRM interruptions.
    If process execution is inside certain blocking system calls
    when these signals arrive, e.g. with the kernel blocked on
    a contended semaphore, the system calls will be interrupted.

    Some system calls are automatically restartable (the kernel re-executes
    them with the same parameters once the signal handler returns) but
    only if the signal handler allows it.

    Set SA_RESTART on the signal handlers to enable this convenient
    behaviour.

    Don't frob timers unless SmartSchedule is running

 commit 2338d5c9914e2a43c3a4f7ee0f4355ad0a1ad9e7
 Author: Arjan van de Ven &lt;arjan@linux.intel.com&gt;
 Date:   Sun Oct 28 09:37:52 2007 +0100

    reduce wakeups from smart scheduler

    The smart scheduler itimer currently always fires after each request
    (which in turn causes the CPU to wake out of idle, burning precious
    power). Rather than doing this, just stop the timer before going into
    the select() portion of the WaitFor loop. It's a cheap system call, and
    it will only get called if there's no more commands batched up from the
    active fd.

    This change also allows some of the functions to be simplified;
    setitimer() will only fail if it's passed invalid data, and we don't do
    that... so make it void and remove all the conditional code that deals
    with failure.

    The change also allows us to remove a few variables that were used for
    housekeeping between the signal handler and the main loop.

    Signed-off-by: Keith Packard &lt;keithp@koto.keithp.com&gt;

 **Note**: The above change also required ABI changes in hw/nxagent/.

    So, like, checking return codes of system calls (signal, etc) is good.
    Also, only restore an old signal handler if one was actually set
    (prevents the server from dying on OS X).

    Fix build on FreeBSD after Popen changes.

 commit a5b8053606d6e786cdcf6734f271acc05f9cc588
 Author: Adam Jackson &lt;ajax@benzedrine.nwnk.net&gt;
 Date:   Tue Sep 11 11:37:06 2007 -0400

    Ignore - not just block - SIGALRM around Popen()/Pclose().

    Because our "popen" implementation uses stdio, and because nobody's stdio
    library is capable of surviving signals, we need to make absolutely sure
    that we hide the SIGALRM from the smart scheduler.  Otherwise, when you
    open a menu in openoffice, and it recompiles XKB to deal with the
    accelerators, and you popen xkbcomp because we suck, then the scheduler
    will tell you you're taking forever doing something stupid, and the
    wait() code will get confused, and input will hang and your CPU usage
    slams to 100%.  Down, not across.
