xorg初始化过程分析，device节的自动配置

下面的紫色的是

#ifdef XSERVER_PLATFORM_BUS
    i = xf86PlatformMatchDriver(matches, nmatches);
#endif

产生的。

蓝色的是

#ifdef XSERVER_LIBPCIACCESS
    if (i < (nmatches - 1))
        i = xf86PciMatchDriver(matches, nmatches);
#endif

产生的

红色的和下面的代码有关：

#if defined(__linux__)
    matches[i++] = xnfstrdup("modesetting");
#endif

#if !defined(sun)
    /* Fallback to platform default frame buffer driver */
    if (i < (nmatches - 1)) {
#if !defined(__linux__) && defined(__sparc__)
        matches[i++] = xnfstrdup("wsfb");
#else
        matches[i++] = xnfstrdup("fbdev");
#endif
    }
#endif                          /* !sun */

    /* Fallback to platform default hardware */
    if (i < (nmatches - 1)) {
#if defined(__i386__) || defined(__amd64__) || defined(__hurd__)
        matches[i++] = xnfstrdup("vesa");
#elif defined(__sparc__) && !defined(sun)

InitOutput()函数里面有调用到autoConfigDevice()函数！

 *      collecting the pixmap formats.
