Description Adam Jackson 2005-05-03 14:07:43 UTC

i've received a report from a user that xf4vnc fails on newish Xorg.  the loader
fails to find a symbol named vnc.soModuleInfo, unsurprisingly.  as the xf4vnc
docs suggest this syntax it's probably worthwhile to fix this.

the solution should be simple enough, when looking for the modinfo struct be
sure to extract the base module name from the filename.

Output of glxinfo with Composite enabled

trivial.  if there's a . in the module name, truncate the name there.

slow PDF file

um, that last one was stupid, strrchr might leave some .'s in the module name
and that's never a valid character in a symbol name.
