Release Notes for Xfree86® 4.8.0 the Xfree86 Project, Inc December 2008
Release Notes for XFree86® 4.8.0 The XFree86 Project, Inc December 2008 Abstract This document contains information about the various features and their current sta- tus in the XFree86 4.8.0 release. 1. Introduction to the 4.x Release Series XFree86 4.0 was the first official release of the XFree86 4 series. The current release (4.8.0) is the latest in that series. The XFree86 4.x series represents a significant redesign of the XFree86 X server,with a strong focus on modularity and configurability. 2. Configuration: aQuickSynopsis Automatic configuration was introduced with XFree86 4.4.0 which makes it possible to start XFree86 without first creating a configuration file. This has been further improved in subsequent releases. If you experienced any problems with automatic configuration in a previous release, it is worth trying it again with this release. While the initial automatic configuration support was originally targeted just for Linux and the FreeBSD variants, as of 4.5.0 it also includes Solaris, NetBSD and OpenBSD support. Full support for automatic configuration is planned for other platforms in futurereleases. If you arerunning Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Solaris, try Auto Configuration by run- ning: XFree86 -autoconfig If you want to customise some things afterwards, you can cut and paste the automatically gener- ated configuration from the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file into an XF86Config file and make your customisations there. If you need to customise some parts of the configuration while leav- ing others to be automatically detected, you can combine a partial static configuration with the automatically detected one by running: XFree86 -appendauto If you areusing a platform that is not currently supported, then you must try one of the older methods for getting started like "xf86cfg", which is our graphical configuration tool. -
Evaluation and Testing of Several Free/Open Source Web Vulnerability Scanners
The 10th Conference for Informatics and Information Technology (CIIT 2013) The 10 th Conference for Informatics and Information Technology (CIIT 2013) EVALUATION AND TESTING OF SEVERAL FREE/OPEN SOURCE WEB VULNERABILITY SCANNERS Nataša Šuteva Dragi Zlatkovski, Aleksandra Mileva Faculty of Computer Science, UGD Faculty of Computer Science, UGD Štip, Macedonia Štip, Macedonia ABSTRACT significant number of vulnerabilities in test applications [1, 4, 12, 14, 15, 22]. Bau et al [1], testing eight WVSs, showed that Web Vulnerability Scanners (WVSs) are software tools for WVSs need to be improved in detection of the “stored” and identifying vulnerabilities in web applications. There are second-order forms of XSS and SQLI, and in understanding commercial WVSs, free/open source WVSs, and some of active content and scripting languages. Khoury [7, 8] companies offer them as a Software-as-a-Service. In this analyzed three state-of –art black box WVSs against stored paper, we test and evaluate six free/open source WVSs using SQLI, and their results showed that stored (persistent) SQLI the web application WackoPicko with many known are not detected even when these automated scanners are vulnerabilities, primary for false negative rates. taught to exploit the vulnerability.

A Study on the Use of Opengl in Window Systems
Master Thesis Computer Science Thesis no: MCS-2004:03 March 2004 A study on the use of OpenGL in window systems Johan Persson Department of Software Engineering and Computer Science Blekinge Institute of Technology Box 520 SE - 372 25 Ronneby Sweden This thesis is submitted to the Department of Software Engineering and Computer Science at Blekinge Institute of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Software Engineering. The thesis is equivalent to 20 weeks of full time studies.

Examples of two systems using different approaches of how OpenGL is being used are Quartz Extreme and Fresco. Quartz Extreme uses window composition which assures fast redisplay and Fresco on the other hand uses a structured graphics approach which utilises OpenGL on a much lower level compared to Quartz Extreme which operates at a window level. Fresco’s way brings great flexibility and an ability to mix 2D and 3D-objects on the desktop. But each of the approaches has its problems; Quartz extreme requires a large amount of memory for buffering of the window contents and Fresco has performance problems when redisplaying complex structures. -

Disk Imaging Technologies
Disk Imaging Technologies Backup and Restoration Challenges Topics • Manufacture Firmware Changes • File System Landscape – UEFI – Introduction to GUID Partition Table (GPT) – Partitions & Limitations • Imaging Utilities Windows & Linux • Full Disk Encryption • Source Web-Links Manufacture Firmware Changes • Industry push to a new standard: – BIOS vs. UEFI • UEFI is to replace and extend the old BIOS firmware. • UEFI is not a new thing. Intel has been working in EFI/UEFI since mid 1990s, and there are vendors like HP or Apple that provided EFI machines since a long time ago. But it is when Microsoft announced Windows 8 that UEFI became the required way to boot the new certified machines. • Secure boot is an extension of UEFI. One of the key points of UEFI is that it can be extended. UEFI has an internal virtual machine that is independent of the architecture that it is using. The standard accepts special binary files compiled for this virtual machine (EFI binaries) that can be executed inside the environment. These binaries can be device drivers, applications or extensions to the UEFI standard. UEFI, in some sense, is like a small operative system that runs when the machine is powered on and whose main task is to find and load another operating system. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is meant as a replacement for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface ● Initially (1998) designed by Intel for Itanium processor ● Since 2005 managed by the Unified EFI Forum (uefi.org) Source: http://loadays.org/archives/2013/static/slides/Integrating-UEFI-into-rear.pdf Why UEFI? • BIOS has its (aging) limitations – 16-bit processes – max. -
Distributed Multihead X Design Kevin E
Distributed Multihead X design Kevin E. Martin, David H. Dawes, and RickardE.Faith 29 June 2004 (created 25 July 2001) Abstract This document covers the motivation, background, design, and implementation of the distributed multihead X (DMX) system. It is a living document and describes the current design and implementation details of the DMX system. As the project pro- gresses, this document will be continually updated to reflect the changes in the code and/or design. Copyright 2001 by VALinux Systems, Inc., Fremont, California. Copyright 2001-2004 by Red Hat, Inc., Raleigh, North Carolina 1. Introduction 1.1 The Distributed Multihead X Server Current Open Source multihead solutions arelimited to a single physical machine. Asingle X server controls multiple display devices, which can be arranged as independent heads or unified into a single desktop (with Xinerama). These solutions arelimited to the number of physical devices that can co-exist in a single machine (e.g., due to the number of AGP/PCI slots available for graphics cards). Thus, large tiled displays arenot currently possible. The work described in this paper will eliminate the requirement that the display devices reside in the same physical machine. This will be accomplished by developing a front-end proxy X server that will control multiple back-end X servers that make up the large display. The overall structureofthe distributed multihead X (DMX) project is as follows: A single front- end X server will act as a proxy to a set of back-end X servers, which handle all of the visible ren- dering. X clients will connect to the front-end server just as they normally would to a regular X server. -
