So I checked them and found that some did not actually use the code. The remaining three that had code to support libXxf86misc could live without it (xdpyinfo, xscreensaver, xset), so disabled it and removed the libXxf86misc library from pkgsrc. > > Why is xf86miscproto in the legacy set? > > Because the server side was removed 11 years ago: > https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/22e64108ec63ba77779891f8df237913ef9ca731 > > so any client support is unusable dead code, unless you're still running > an Xserver older than Xorg 1.6.
