This module allows root autoLogin, so we would break that for users, but
they shouldn't be using it anyways. This gives the impression like auto
is some special display manager, when it's just lightdm and special pam
rules to allow root autoLogin. It was created for NixOS's testing
so I believe this is where it belongs.
###### Motivation for this change
With space between two options, multiple options just don't work
Looks like xkbOptions then used for generation of xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf.
kbd's man says XkbOptions must be comma-separated without spaces.

A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
The SLIM project is abandoned and their last release was in 2013.
Because of this it poses a security risk to systems, no one is working
on it or picked up maintenance. It also lacks compatibility with systemd
and logind sessions. For users, there liikely isn't anything like slim
that's as lightweight in terms of dependencies.
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/61321, local-fs.target is
part of sysinit.target again, meaning units without
DefaultDependencies=no will automatically depend on it, and the manual
set dependencies can be dropped.
So far, the output binary has been just "validate", which is quite a
very generic name and doesn't match the package name.
Even though I highly doubt that this program will ever be used outside
of NixOS modules, it's nevertheless less confusing to have a consistent
naming.

The old open-source driver for AMD/ATI GPUs is commonly known as "radeon"
despite the historical package name xf86-video-ati. For example it presents
itself as RADEON in the Xorg log. So adding "radeon" to videoDrivers should
work.
Also changed the docs for the videoDrivers option to use "radeon" in the
default value instead of "ati".
Fixes #37917
A new internal option `hardware.opengl.setLdLibraryPath` is added which controls if `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` should be set to `/run/opengl-driver(-32)/lib`. It is false by default and is meant to be set to true by any driver which requires it. If this option is false, then `opengl.nix` and `xserver.nix` will not set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
Currently Mesa and NVidia drivers don't set `setLdLibraryPath` because they work with libglvnd and do not override libraries, while `amdgpu-pro`, `ati` and `parallels-guest` set it to true (the former two really need it, the last one doesn't build so is presumed to).
Additionally, the `libPath` attribute within entries of `services.xserver.drivers` is removed. This made `xserver.nix` add the driver path directly to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` for the display manager (including X server). Not only is it redundant when the driver is added to `hardware.opengl.package` (assuming that `hardware.opengl.enable` is true), in fact all current drivers except `ati` set it incorrectly to the package path instead of package/lib.
This removal of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` could break certain packages using CUDA, but only those that themselves load `libcuda` or other NVidia driver libraries using `dlopen` (not if they just use `cudatoolkit`). A few have already been fixed but it is practically impossible to test all because most packages using CUDA are libraries/frameworks without a simple way to test.
Fixes #11434 if only Mesa or NVidia graphics drivers are used.
I'm not 100% sure about the incompatibility lines,
but I believe it's better to discourage these anyway.
If you find better information, feel free to amend...
The 32-bit thing is completely GPU-agnostic, so I can't see why we had
it separately for proprietary drivers and missing for the rest.
Instead of searching `/usr` it should search for the `xkb`,
$XDG_DATA_DIRS will be searched. With this approach we allow compliance
on NixOS and non-NixOS systems to find `symbols` in the `xkb` directory.
The patch has been accepted by upstream, but isn't released yet, so this
is mainly a temporary fix until we can bump ZSH to the next stable version.
The `xserver` module links `/share/X11/xkb` to `/run/current-system` to
make this possible.
The fix can be tested inside the following VM:
```
{
zshtest = {
programs.zsh.enable = true;
users.extraUsers.vm = {
password = "vm";
isNormalUser = true;
};
services.xserver.enable = true;
};
}
```
Fixes #46025
Switch from slim to lightdm as the display-manager.
If plasma5 is used as desktop-manager use sdddm.
If gnome3 is used as desktop-manager use gdm.
Based on #12516
This adds configuration options which automate the configuration of NVIDIA Optimus using PRIME. This allows using the NVIDIA proprietary driver on Optimus laptops, in order to render using the NVIDIA GPU while outputting to displays connected only to the integrated Intel GPU. It also adds an option for enabling kernel modesetting for the NVIDIA driver (via a kernel command line flag); this is particularly useful together with Optimus/PRIME because it fixes tearing on PRIME-connected screens.
The user still needs to enable the Optimus/PRIME feature and specify the bus IDs of the Intel and NVIDIA GPUs, but this is still much easier for users and more reliable. The implementation handles both the X configuration file as well as getting display managers to run certain necessary `xrandr` commands just after X has started.
Configuration of commands run after X startup is done using a new configuration option `services.xserver.displayManager.setupCommands`. Support for this option is implemented for LightDM, GDM and SDDM; all of these have been tested with this feature including logging into a Plasma session.
Note: support of `setupCommands` for GDM is implemented by making GDM run the session executable via a wrapper; the wrapper will run the `setupCommands` before execing. This seemed like the simplest and most reliable approach, and solves running these commands both for GDM's X server and user X servers (GDM starts separate X servers for itself and user sessions). An alternative approach would be with autostart files but that seems harder to set up and less reliable.
Note that some simple features for X configuration file generation (in `xserver.nix`) are added which are used in the implementation:
- `services.xserver.extraConfig`: Allows adding arbitrary new sections. This is used to add the Device section for the Intel GPU.
- `deviceSection` and `screenSection` within `services.xserver.drivers`. This allows the nvidia configuration module to add additional contents into the `Device` and `Screen` sections of the "nvidia" driver, and not into such sections for other drivers that may be enabled.
The original idea behind this change (described in ticket #11064) was to
improve the assertions to avoid that users of the X server accidentally
forget to configure a DM or WM.
However this caused several issues with setups that require X, but no DM
or WM. The keymap testcases became instable as well as now disabling DMs
needs to be done explicitly.
(see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/31268#issuecomment-347080036)
In the end the idea behind the change and #11064 was obviously a
mistake, so reverting it completely for now should be fine.
X libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH seem to not be needed anymore.
I've tracked this addition as far as I could
(02cef04c81) and they seem to be added for unfree
NVIDIA and ATI drivers but at least for NVIDIA they are not needed anymore. We
can add them with patchelf instead if it turns out to be the case with ATI.
This makes memoization of Nixpkgs evaluation less effective, since
some Nixpkgs invocations may have 'config = {}' while others may have
'config = { xorg = {}; }'.
Instead set 'config = {}'.
With libinput used for keyboard, base rules produce incorrect keyboard
layouts. We are removing the option as recommended in the XKB configuration
guide [1] to let X server choose the ruleset. It looks like it chooses
evdev rules which seem to work for some reason

Breaking people's config for this is hardly reasonable as is. If it
absolutely cannot be avoided, at the very least, we need to provide
clear instructions on what people need to upgrade in their config. I
actually had to bisect to the commit, to even find out what property I
should change or define, as the error message was useless. It didn't
even mention a property name.
Discussion on the PR seems to be ongoing, so I'm reverting this, so we
don't break people's systems on unstable.
