input, fb, vt, sysfs: the kernel calls Xorg makes
Xorg on a framebuffer -- the fbdev video driver, the evdev input driver, libpciaccess -- asks the kernel a fixed set of questions before it draws anything, and gives up on the first wrong answer. These are those answers. evdev: EVIOCGVERSION, GID, GNAME, GPHYS, GUNIQ, GPROP, GBIT, GKEY, GABS, GREP and the accepted setters. Xorg and libinput decide what a device *is* from the capability bitmaps; /dev/input/eventN answered only EVIOCGRAB, which reads as no device at all. Each device's bitmaps are its defaults plus whatever it has reported, so a USB tablet makes the pointer absolute. fbdev: FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO succeeds for the mode already set, as on Linux -- the fbdev driver sets it every time it starts -- and still refuses any other. FBIOPAN_DISPLAY to the origin; FBIOBLANK. The console: KDSETMODE(KD_GRAPHICS) stops it drawing on a terminal, KDSKBMODE(K_OFF) stops keys reaching its tty, and VT_PROCESS now does the switch handshake: leaving the terminal sends relsig and waits for VT_RELDISP, arriving sends acqsig. A terminal whose owner has died goes back to the kernel whole, so a crashed X cannot leave the console dead. /sys: boot_vga, a writable enable, and graphics/fb0 under the display device, which is how the fbdev driver pairs a card with /dev/fb0. ports/linux-headers: <linux/*.h> into musl's prefix, from sabotage- linux's kernel-headers 4.19.88-2. Its checksum is recorded from the first download; upstream publishes none. cmd/xready makes each call and checks the answer, including the switch handshake on tty2 and an owner that dies holding it.
