XFree86 Logfile - Module Loading

Module Loading

XFree86 loads a number of modules when it starts up. Most of them are optional and there are quite a few of them. Therefore, no two systems load exactly the same modules but the structure of the output the modules give in the logfile is mostly the same.

01] (II) LoadModule: "bitmap" 02] (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a 03] (II) Module bitmap: vendor="The XFree86 Project" 04] compiled for 4.3.0, module version = 1.0.0 05] Module class: XFree86 Font Renderer 06] ABI class: XFree86 Font Renderer, version 0.4

In the example above, XFree86 successfully loaded module bitmap. The first line specifies the modulename, the second path and filename to the module and the third to sixth, version information and vendor name. In older versions of XFree86 (4.0 and older) the output for modules is less verbose:

01] (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a 02] (II) Module bitmap: vendor="The XFree86 Project" 03] compiled for 4.0, module version = 1.0.0
