The display name is being used by the monitor manager to expose to name
to the DBUS API.
It is being rebuilt each time, so instead build the displa yname once
for the monitor and keep it around, with an API to retrieve it, so that
we can reuse it in preparation of xdg-output v2 support.

DPMS is configured from a bit all over the place: via D-Bus, via X11 and
when reading the current KMS state. Each of these places did it slightly
differently, directly poking at the field in MetaMonitorManager.
To make things a bit more managable, move the field into a new
MetaMonitorManagerPrivate, and add helpers to get and set the current
value. Prior to this, there were for example situations where the DPMS
setting was changed, but without signal listeners being notified about
it.

Commit 25f416c13d added additional compilation warnings, including
-Werror=return-type. There are several places where this results

MonitorManager was inheriting from MetaDBusDisplayConfigSkeleton, this was
causing introspection to see this like a GDBus skeleton object exposing to
clients methods that were not required.
Also, this required us to export meta_dbus_* symbols to the library, while
these should be actually private.
So, make MetaMonitorManager to be just a simple GObject holding a skeleton
instance, and connect to its signals reusing most of the code with just few
minor changes.

Switch-configs are only to be used in certain circumstances (see
meta_monitor_manager_can_switch_config()) so when ensuring
configuration and attempting to create a linear configuration, use the
linear configuration constructor function directly without going via the
switch config method, otherwise we might incorrectly fall back to the
fallback configuration (only enable primary monitor).
This is a regression introduced by 6267732bec.

It wasn't implemented by any subclass, it's not provided by DRM either.
And even if a subclass were to have only a file available, it could read
it into a GBytes as well and just use `read_edid()`.
Found this while working on !269.
The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
When constructing MetaMonitorsConfig objects, store which type
of switch_config they are for (or UNKNOWN if it is not such
type of config).
Stop unconditionally setting current_switch_config to UNKNOWN when
handling monitors changed events. Instead, set it to the switch_config
type stored in the MonitorsConfig in the codepath that updates logical
state. In addition to being called in the hotplug case along the same
code flow that generates monitors changed events, this is also called
in the coldplug case where a secondary monitor was connected before
mutter was started.
When creating the default linear display config, create it as a
switch_config so that internal state gets updated to represent
linear mode when this config is used.
The previous behaviour of unconditionally resetting current_switch_config
to UNKNOWN was breaking the internal state machine for display config
switching, causing misbehaviour in gnome-shell's switchMonitor UI when
using display switch hotkeys. The lack of internal tracking when the
displays are already in the default "Join Displays" linear mode was
then causing the first display switch hotkey press to do nothing
(it would attempt to select "Join Displays" mode, but that was already
active).

Rather than handle UpClient in both MetaBackend (to reset the idletime
when the lid is opened), and in MetaMonitorManager and
MetaMonitorConfigManager (to turn the screen under the lid on/off
depending on its status), move the ability to get the lid status from
UPower or mock it in one place, in MetaBackend.
Restarting UPower will make every property of UpClient emit a "notify"
signal (as a GDBusProxy would). Avoid mutter reconfiguring the displays
when upower restarts by caching the last known value of "lid-is-closed"
and only reconfiguring the displays if it actually changed.
This fixes a black out of the screen when UPower restarts.
For some reason "backends: Remove X11 idle-monitor backend" removed
unrelated warning messages for when generated monitor configurations
that should work didn't, which also made the unit tests fail.
This commit adds them back, which also makes the tests pass again.
When deriving the global scale directly from the current hardware state
(as done when using the X11 backend) we are inspecting the logical
state they had prior to the most recent hot plug. That means that a
primary monitor might have been disabled, and a new primary monitor may
not have been assigned yet.
Stop assuming a primary monitor has an active mode before having
reconstructed the logical state by finding some active monitor if the
old primary monitor was disabled. This avoids a crash when trying to
derive the global scale from a disabled monitor.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/130

Output ID is set equal to 'i' later in the loop. But 'i' was never
incremented, so all outputs were getting the same ID (equal to
the number of CRTCs, because 'i' was reused from the previous loop).

If a LCD panel has a non normal orientation (mounted upside-down or 90
degrees rotated) then the kernel will report touchscreen coordinates with
the origin matching the native (e.g. upside down) coordinates of the panel.
Since we transparently rotate the image on the panel to correct for the
non normal panel-orientation, we must apply the same transform to input
coordinates to keep the aligned.

We only counted configured monitors and whether the config was
applicable (could be assigned), howeverwe didn't include disabled
monitors when comparing. This could caused incorrect configurations to
be applied when trying to use the previous configuration.
One scenario where this happened was one a system with one laptop
screen and one external monitor that was hot plugged some point after
start up. When the laptop lid was closed, the 'previous configuration'
being the configuration where only the laptop panel was enabled, passed
'is-complete' check as the number of configured monitors were correct,
and the configuration was applicable.
Avoid this issue by simply comparing the configuration key of the
previous configuration and the configuration key of the current state.
This correctly identifies a laptop panel with the lid closed as
inaccessible, thus doesn't incorrectly revert to the previous
configuration.

In order to eventually support multilpe GPUs with their own connectors,
split out related meta data management (i.e. outputs, CRTCs and CRTC
modes) into a new MetaGpu GObject.
The Xrandr backend always assumes there is always only a single "GPU" as
the GPU is abstracted by the X server; only the native backend (aside
from the test backend) will eventually see more than one GPU.
The Xrandr backend still moves some management to MetaGpuXrandr, in
order to behave more similarly to the KMS counterparts.

The monitor manager instance was created and setup in one step; at
construction. This is problematic if, in the future, the monitor manager
creation can fail, as the monitor manager is created quite late.
To make it possible to in the future fail creating a monitor manager,
create the instance very early when initiating the backend, then on
post init backend setup, "setup" the monitor manager state, i.e. read
the current state and setup the stage.

When saving and restoring monitor configurations, we must take disabled
monitors into account, as otherwise one cannot store/restore a
configuration where one or more monitors are explicitly disabled. Make
this possible by adding a <disabled> element to the <configure> element
which lists the monitors that are explicitly disabled. These ones are
included when generating the configuration key, meaning they'll be
picked up correctly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787629
When we update state, we might not have set the current config yet (for
example if the Xrandr assignment didn't change), so pass the monitors

When another D-Bus call that just tries to verify a configuration is
made, don't cancel any active monitor configuration dialog, as doing so

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786023
When opening a laptop lid, one will likely want to restore the
configuration one had prior to closing it, so when ensuring monitor
configuration, first try to see if the previously set configuration is
both complete (all connected monitors are configured) and applicable
(it is a valid configuration) and only try to generate a new from
scratch if that failed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
In order to go back in monitor configurations, save them to a history.
The history is implemented as a max 3 element long queue, where newly
set configurations are pushed to the head, and old are popped from the
tail.
The difference between using a single previous config reference and a
queue is that we can now remember the configuration used prior to a
D-Bus triggered configuration when the user discarded the configuration.
This will later be used to restore a previous configuration when a
laptop lid is opened.

This commit changes the new configuration system to use monitors.xml
instead of monitors-experimental.xml. When starting up and the
monitors.xml file is loaded, if a legacy monitors.xml file is
discovered (it has the version number 1), an attempt is made to migrate
the stored configuration onto the new system.
This is done in two steps:
1) Parsing and translation of the old configuration. This works by
parsing file using the mostly the old parser, but then translating the
resulting configuration structs into the new configuration system. As
the legacy configuration system doesn't carry over some state (such as
tiling and scale used), some things are not available. For tiling, the
migration paths makes an attempt to discover tiled monitors by
comparing EDID data, and guessing what the main tile is. Determination
of the scale of a migrated configuration is postponed until the
configuration is actually applied. This works by flagging the
configuration as 'migrated'.
2) Finishing the migration when applying. When a configuration with the
'migrated' flag is retrieved from the configuration store, the final
step of the migration is taken place. This involves calculating the
preferred scale given the mode configured, while making sure this
doesn't result in any overlapping logical monitor regions etc.

This will allows us to support the XF86Display key present on some
laptops, directly in mutter. This is also known, in evdev, as
KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE.
The common usage for this key is to alternate between a few well known
multi-monitor configurations though these aren't officially
standardized. As an example, Lenovo documents it as:
"Switches the display output location between the computer display
and an external monitor."
On this patch, we're just introducing the configurations that have been
implemented in g-s-d until now, which go a bit beyond the above
description.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781906
Instead of letting MetaMonitor derive the logical monitor size, then
using the main monitor for the position, just let MetaMonitor derive
the whole layout including the position. This means it can deal with
tiled monitors better, for example when the main output (the output
always active when the monitor is active) is not the origin output (the
output with tile position (0, 0)).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781723
When verifying if a configuration is applicable, don't set it as

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
Differentiate between non-interlaced and interlaced modes. This is done
by appending an "i" after the resolution part of the mode ID, and
adding a 'is-interlaced' (b) property to the mode properties.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
To be more flexible without having to change any D-Bus type signatures
in the future, replace the 'uint' flags value (currently determining
whether a mode is current and/or preferred) with a variant lookup table.
The keys 'is-current' (b) and 'is-preferred' (b) replace the existing
flags.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
To be able to add more modes types that happen to have the same
resolution and refresh rate, change the API to specify modes using an
ID string. The ID string is temporary, and only works for associating a
mode for the monitor instance that it was part of.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
When calculating sizes given some size and a fractional logical monitor
scale with precision loss, round the result of the floating point
calculation to the closest integer, as otherwise we might end up with
result smaller by 1 if there was a loss of precision when calculating
the scale.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
When passing scales over D-Bus, we'll loose some precision. To set the
correct scale, use the configured scale and look up the one actually
supported by the monitor mode, and use that. To match the supported one
with the configured one, the difference must be within rounding error
range.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
This changes the API to pass supported scales per mode instead of
providing a global list. This allows for more flexible scaling
scenarious, where a scale compatible with one mode can still be made
available even though another mode is incompatible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
When the logical layout mode is used, allow configuring the scaling to
be non-integer. Supported scales are so far hard coded to include at
most 1, 1.5 and 2, and scales that doesn't result in non-fractional
logical monitor sizes are discarded.
Wayland outputs are set to have scale ceil(actual_scale) meaning well
behaving Wayland clients will provide buffers with buffer scale 2, thus
being scaled down to the fractional scale.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
We will both create and destroy monitors during initialization (when
using the X11 backend), so don't try to access the monitor manager from
the backend, but store a pointer to it instead.
It's stored in MetaMonitor even though only MetaMonitorTiled uses it,
mostly because it makes more sense to store such a pointer there.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781723
This commit makes it possible to configure logical monitor scale also
when running on top of an X11 server using Xrandr. An extra property
'requires-globla-scale' is added to the D-Bus API is added to instruct
a configuration application to only allow setting a global logical
monitor scale.
This is needed to let gsd-xsettings use the configured state to set a
XSettings state that respects the explicit monitor configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Introduce MetaSettings and add the settings managed by MetaBackend into

hotplug_mode_update is used (mostly by VMs nowadays, and
VMware has implemented it) to inform that modes list (including
the preferred one) might change after an uevent.
However, when using MetaMonitorConfigManager we should
ignore this value at initialization level, or mutter
won't restore the configured values at startup.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783073
An inactive monitor will not be assigned to a logical monitor, so don't
try to match against those. This avoids a dereferencing a NULL when the
main output of an inactive monitor doesn't have an assigned CRTC.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This adds a function to be used by gnome-shell to get the logical
monitor given a connector name. For now, use the same index integer
method to reference a logical monitor, but this should be revisited by

The UI scaling depends on whether the framebuffers are scaled. Enable
the caller to determine the what scale its UI should be drawn in, in
relation to the stage coordinate space by calling this function. A new

Derive the logical monitor position not by looking at the main output
(the (0, 0) tile), but the one that is placed on the top-left corner.
This might be the non-main output on certain transformations.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add the transform as a logical monitor parameter, both when getting the
current state and applying a new configuration. The transform is defined
to be identical to MetaMonitorTransform.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add support for rotated monitors. This is done per logical monitor, as
every monitor assigned to a logical monitor must be transformed in the
same way. This includes being transformed on the same level; e.g. if
the backend does not support transforming any monitor of a logical
monitor natively, then all monitors will be transformed using the
offscreen intermediate framebuffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Keep track of the logical monitor transform. When a logical monitor is
transformed, all of its monitors are also transformed in the same way.
A logical monitor can either be transformed on the CRTC level, or using
an offscreen intermediate buffer. In both cases will the logical
monitor be transformed, but only in the latter will the view be
transformed.
MetaCrtcs::transform currently does not represent whether the CRTC is
configured to be transformed or not; only when the backend can handle
it does it correctly correspond to the actual CRTC configuration. This
is intended to change with MetaMonitorConfigManager.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of using a environment variable, add a new 'experimental
feature' gsetting keyword "monitor-config-manager" that enables the use
of the new MetaMonitorConfigManager. This commit also makes it possible
to switch between the two systems without restarting mutter.
The D-Bus API is disabled when the experimental feature is not enabled,
and clients trying to access it will get a access-denied error in
response. A new property 'IsExperimentalApiEnabled' is added to let the
D-Bus client know whether it is possible to use the experimental API or
not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This commit adds support for rendering onto enlarged per logical
monitor framebuffers, using the scaled clutter stage views, for HiDPI
enabled logical monitors.
This works by scaling the mode of the monitors in a logical monitors by
the scale, no longer relying on scaling the window actors and window
geometry for making windows have the correct size on HiDPI monitors.
It is disabled by default, as in automatically created configurations
will still use the old mode. This is partly because Xwayland clients
will not yet work good enough to make it feasible.
To enable, add the 'scale-monitor-framebuffer' keyword to the
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features gsettings array.
It is still possible to specify the mode via the new D-Bus API, which
has been adapted.
The adaptations to the D-Bus API means the caller need to be aware of
how to position logical monitors on the stage grid. This depends on the
'layout-mode' property that is used (see the DisplayConfig D-Bus
documentation).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Make the concept of maximum screen size optional, as it is not
necessarily a thing on all systems (e.g. when using the native backend
and stage views).
The meta_monitor_monitor_get_limits() function is replaced by a
meta_monitor_manager_get_max_screen_size() which fails when no screen
limit is available. Callers and other users of the previous max screen
size fields are updated to deal with the fact that the limit is
optional.
The new D-Bus API is changed to move it to the properties bag, where
its absence means there is no applicable limit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a new D-Bus API that uses the state from GetCurrentState to
configure high level monitors, instead of low level CRTCs and
connectors. So far persistent configuration is not implemented, as
writing to the configuration store is still not supported.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
We don't want to limit ourself to whole integers for configuration, as
that'd mean it wouldn't be able to provide configurations for
fractional scalings. Thus, change scales to be referred to as floats
instead of ints.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a 'is_underscanning' entry to the properties map, if the monitor

Replace the 'scale' of an output with a vfunc on the MetaMonitorManager
class that takes a monitor and a monitor mode which calculates the
scale. On X11 this always returns 1, on KMS, the old formula is used.
On the dummy and test backends, the already configured values are
returned.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
A MetaOutput is a connector, not exactly a monitor or a region on the
stage; for example tiled monitors are split up into multiple outputs,
and for what is used in input settings, that makes no sense. Change
this to use logical monitors instead of outputs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The new monitor configuration system (MetaMonitorConfigManager) aims to
replace the current MetaMonitorConfig. The main difference between the
two is that MetaMonitorConfigManager works with higher level input
(MetaMonitor, MetaMonitorMode) instead of directly looking at the CRTC
and connector state. It still produces CRTC and connector configuration
later applied by the respective backends.
Other difference the new system aims to introduce is that the
configuration system doesn't manipulate the monitor manager state; that
responsibility is left for the monitor manager to handle (it only
manages configuration and creates CRTC/connector assignments, it
doesn't apply anything).
The new configuration system allows backends to not rely on deriving the
current configuration from the CRTC/connector state, as this may no longer be
possible (i.e. when using KMS and multiple framebuffers).
The MetaMonitorConfigManager system is so far disabled by default, as
it does not yet have all the features of the old system, but eventually
it will replace MetaMonitorConfig which will at that point be removed.
This will make it possible to remove old hacks introduced due to
limitations in the old system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The function meta_monitor_manager_read_current_config() was renamed to

Don't deal with adding/removing tiled Xrandr monitors in the generic

Instead of storing the logical monitors in an array and having users
either look up them in the array given an index or iterate using

It was just pointer to the actual list; having to synchronize a list of
logical monitors with the actual monitors managed by the backend is
unnecessary.

In preparation for further refactorizations, rename the MetaMonitorInfo
struct to MetaLogicalMonitor. Eventually, part of MetaLogicalMonitor
will be split into a MetaMonitor type.

Being a listener to a signal, it is inconvenient to enforce order of
execution between different signal listeners. If there are things in
the backend that should be updated before various other signal
handlers, make sure so is done by emitting the signal after having
explicitly notified the backend.

Wrap the existing laptop_display_is_on() method in a public function
that gnome-shell can use to query whether a builtin output is present
and enabled.

The max potential number of logical monitors (i.e. MetaMonitorInfos)
is the number of CRTCs, not the number of outputs.
In cases where we have more enabled CRTCs than connected outputs we
would end up appending more MetaMonitorInfos to the GArray than the
size it was initialized with which means the array would get
re-allocated rendering invalid some MetaCRTC->logical_monitor pointers
assigned previously and thus ending in crashes later on.
