1172. Add the -layout and -screen options to allow a layout or screen section
      to be specified from the command line.
1171. Make the interface in the xf86Find{Vendor,Layout} parser functions
      consistent with the others.

XFree86 3.9jj (31 May 1998)
1170. Add call to LoaderCheckUnresolved().
1169. Add finding the correct Display subsection to the xf86SetDepthBpp()
      helper (David Dawes).
1168. Some os-support layer cleanups (more required).
1167. Add a new helper to simplify the driver Probe() code for PCI cards
      (David Dawes).
1166. Remove some fields from the ScrnInfoRec.
1165. Add a set of option handling functions and helpers to the common layer.
      These allow the option data structures to be opaque to the drivers
      (David Dawes).
1164. Add xstrdup (Xstrdup) to os/utils.c, and treat xf86strdup the same way
      as xf86malloc in the libc wrappers.
1163. Fix XAA 14 pixel width fonts (#1699, Mark Vojkovich).
1162. Fix XAA CopyGC crash (#1698, Mark Vojkovich).

XFree86 3.9ji (23 May 1998)
1161. MGA Support for the new XAA code (#1697, Mark Vojkovich).
1160. New XAA code (#1695, 1696, Mark Vojkovich).
1159. Millennium 2 (inc AGP) support for the mga driver (#1697,
      Mark Vojkovich).

XFree86 3.9jh (22 May 1998)
1158. Fix 'Unknown symbol type 1e' messages in the a.out loader
      (#1683, Matthieu Herrb).
1157. Loader updates, including Alpha and PowerPC support (#1467, 1666,
      Metro Link).
1156. Add '-Wall' to gcc compile options
1155. Add Xarch.h (#1399, Metro Link).
1154. Resync libc/ansic wrappering.

XFree86 3.9jg (3 May 1998)
1153. Remove ilbm's call to miRegisterGCPrivateIndex(), which no longer
      exists (#1670, Marc La France).
1152. Fix problems with mi generic functions in mibank (#1670,
      Marc La France).
1151. Symbolically link xf86_ansic.h so osPexFont.c can #include it
      (#1670, Marc La France).
1150. Fix opaque types in xf86_libc.h (#1670, Marc La France).
1149. Fix a typo in mibank which makes miScanLineWidth() always fail.
1148. Fix various missing symbols that show up when attempting to use
      non-dlopen modules.

XFree86 3.9jf (18 April 1998)
1147. Add xf1bpp framebuffer for use by vga2 and mono (i.e. hga2)
      drivers.  This is just a copy of mfb compiled for the bitmapScanlinePad
      and bitmapBitOrder needed by these hardware framebuffers (#1636,
      Marc La France).
1146. A mode that fails validation (for whatever reason) no longer
      affects the resulting virtual resolution (#1636, Marc La France).
1145. miScanlineWidth() is now passed the hardware plane pixmap format
      rather than nBankBPP (the harware plane bpp) and nPixelBPP (the
      "total" bpp), and have xf86ValidateModes() call miScanLineWidth()
      to determine an appropriate line pitch for the virtual resolution
      requested (#1636, Marc La France).
1144. Remove the helpers' concept of pixelArea as this can be derived
      from videoRam and bitsPerPixel, express pitchInc in bits, and
      pass apertureSize to mode validation helper (#1636, Marc La France).
1143. Introduce the new mi banking wrapper (not yet used) (#1636,
      Marc La France).
1142. Make each screen keep track of the pixmap formats and display-
      wide attributes it needs in its ScreenInfoRec.  InitOutput()
      can then ensure consistency before adding the screens to the
      display (#1636, Marc La France).
1141. Use low-level backing store functions to save/restore the
      screen during VC switches (doesn't work with vga16) (#1636,
      Marc La France).
1140. Move a copy of the backing store low-level function pointers
      into the ScreenRec.  This allows them to be wrapped (#1636,
      Marc La France).
1139. Rename [GS]etRootPixmap screen entries to [GS]etScreenPixmap
      and add [GS]etWindowPixmap entries.  Some may not be needed and
      can be removed later (#1636, Marc La France).
1138. Remove cfbScreenInitLong() entries.  They are not needed since the
      RGB ordering and masks can be fixed after calling cfbScreenInit()
      (#1636, Marc La France).
1137. Fix the saving and restoring of PSZ #define in cfb??.h headers,
      add copyright notice to them, and get right Imakefile to include
      them in the link kit (#1636, Marc La France).
1136. Fix oversight in 1133 (#1636, Marc La France).
1135. Some include file fixes (#1539, Marc La France).

XFree86 3.9je (14 February 1998)
1134. Move framebuffer ModuleInit funtions into separate files (#1475,
      Marc La France).
1133. Move the following GC privates to the GC structure proper:
      pRotatedPixmap, pCompositeClip, fExpose, freeCompClip.  This is in
      preparation for the banking mi wrapper (#1451, Marc La France).
1132. Minor bug fix to mfb and afb framebuffers (#1443, Marc La France).
1131. Ensure window and GC privates are aligned on a sizeof(long)
      boundary (#1442, Marc La France).
1130. Minor optimisation of cfb's ImageGlyphBlt entry, required for
      the new banking code (#1431, Marc La France).

XFree86 3.9jd (1 February 1998)
1129. Update the generic VGA driver for these changes (David Dawes).
1128. Flesh out and update the design document, and add it to the source
      tree (in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/DESIGN) (David Dawes).
1127. Working non-accel MGA driver (Millennium I only) (David Dawes).
1126. Update parser (from Metro Link).
1125. Fill in some missing bits of infrastructure, and fix some bugs there
      (David Dawes).

XFree86 3.9jc (16 January 1998)
1124. A start at modifying non-accel MGA driver for new design (David Dawes).
1123. Pick up multimedia/video PCI devices in xf86GetPCIVideoInfo()
      (David Dawes).
1122. Fix some header usage and missing prototypes (David Dawes).
1121. Continue filling in missing bits of the new design infrastructure
      (David Dawes).
1120. Get the generic vga driver working (using dll modules on FreeBSD)
      (David Dawes).
1119. Reorganise the vgahw module (David Dawes).

XFree86 3.9jb (25 September 1997)
1118. Continuation of 1117.

XFree86 3.9ja (29 July 1997)
1117. Start converting the generic vga driver to the new design (Dirk Hohndel,
      David Dawes).
1116. Add flags to allow to build some modules as shared objects (Dirk Hohndel).
1115. Fix dll loader to work on Linux (and re-fix it to work on FreeBSD
      again) (Dirk Hohndel, David Dawes).
1114. Add helper functions for various stages of the server (David Dawes,
      Dirk Hohndel).
1113. Add glue code to interface with new parser and create internal data
      structures (David Dawes, Dirk Hohndel).
1112. Split up vga256/vga into vgahw and vgafb (Dirk Hohndel).
1111. New parser for the config file (Stuart Anderson).
1110. Start work on the new design.
