@serial is an unique identifier representing the current state
|
|
of the screen. It must be passed back to ApplyConfiguration()
|
|
and will be increased for every configuration change (so that
|
|
mutter can detect that the new configuration is based on old
|
|
state).
|
|
|
|
A CRTC (CRT controller) is a logical monitor, ie a portion
|
|
of the compositor coordinate space. It might correspond
|
|
to multiple monitors, when in clone mode, but not that
|
|
it is possible to implement clone mode also by setting different
|
|
CRTCs to the same coordinates.
|
|
|
|
The number of CRTCs represent the maximum number of monitors
|
|
that can be set to expand and it is a HW constraint; if more
|
|
monitors are connected, then necessarily some will clone. This
|
|
is complementary to the concept of the encoder (not exposed in
|
|
the API), which groups outputs that necessarily will show the
|
|
same image (again a HW constraint).
|
|
|
|
A CRTC is represented by a DBus structure with the following
|
|
layout:
|
|
* u ID: the ID in the API of this CRTC
|
|
* x winsys_id: the low-level ID of this CRTC (which might
|
|
be a XID, a KMS handle or something entirely
|
|
different)
|
|
* i x, y, width, height: the geometry of this CRTC
|
|
(might be invalid if the CRTC is not in
|
|
use)
|
|
* i current_mode: the current mode of the CRTC, or -1 if this
|
|
CRTC is not used
|
|
Note: the size of the mode will always correspond
|
|
to the width and height of the CRTC
|
|
* u current_transform: the current transform (espressed according
|
|
to the wayland protocol)
|
|
* au transforms: all possible transforms
|
|
* a{sv} properties: other high-level properties that affect this
|
|
CRTC; they are not necessarily reflected in
|
|
the hardware.
|
|
No property is specified in this version of the API.
|
|
|
|
Note: all geometry information refers to the untransformed
|
|
display.
|
|
|
|
An output represents a physical screen, connected somewhere to
|
|
the computer. Floating connectors are not exposed in the API.
|
|
An output is a DBus struct with the following fields:
|
|
* u ID: the ID in the API
|
|
* x winsys_id: the low-level ID of this output (XID or KMS handle)
|
|
* i current_crtc: the CRTC that is currently driving this output,
|
|
or -1 if the output is disabled
|
|
* au possible_crtcs: all CRTCs that can control this output
|
|
* s name: the name of the connector to which the output is attached
|
|
(like VGA1 or HDMI)
|
|
* au modes: valid modes for this output
|
|
* au clones: valid clones for this output, ie other outputs that
|
|
can be assigned the same CRTC as this one; if you
|
|
want to mirror two outputs that don't have each other
|
|
in the clone list, you must configure two different
|
|
CRTCs for the same geometry
|
|
* a{sv} properties: other high-level properties that affect this
|
|
output; they are not necessarily reflected in
|
|
the hardware.
|
|
Known properties:
|
|
- "vendor" (s): (readonly) the human readable name
|
|
of the manufacturer
|
|
- "product" (s): (readonly) the human readable name
|
|
of the display model
|
|
- "serial" (s): (readonly) the serial number of this
|
|
particular hardware part
|
|
- "display-name" (s): (readonly) a human readable name
|
|
of this output, to be shown in the UI
|
|
- "backlight" (i): (readonly, use the specific interface)
|
|
the backlight value as a percentage
|
|
(-1 if not supported)
|
|
- "primary" (b): whether this output is primary
|
|
or not
|
|
- "presentation" (b): whether this output is
|
|
for presentation only
|
|
Note: properties might be ignored if not consistenly
|
|
applied to all outputs in the same clone group. In
|
|
general, it's expected that presentation or primary
|
|
outputs will not be cloned.
|
|
|
|
A mode represents a set of parameters that are applied to
|
|
each output, such as resolution and refresh rate. It is a separate
|
|
object so that it can be referenced by CRTCs and outputs.
|
|
Multiple outputs in the same CRTCs must all have the same mode.
|
|
A mode is exposed as:
|
|
* u ID: the ID in the API
|
|
* x winsys_id: the low-level ID of this mode
|
|
* u width, height: the resolution
|
|
* d frequency: refresh rate
|
|
|
|
Output and modes are read-only objects (except for output properties),
|
|
they can change only in accordance to HW changes (such as hotplugging
|
|
a monitor), while CRTCs can be changed with ApplyConfiguration().
|
|
|
|
XXX: actually, if you insist enough, you can add new modes
|
|
through xrandr command line or the KMS API, overriding what the
|
|
kernel driver and the EDID say.
|
|
Usually, it only matters with old cards with broken drivers, or
|
|
old monitors with broken EDIDs, but it happens more often with
|
|
projectors (if for example the kernel driver doesn't add the
|
|
640x480 - 800x600 - 1024x768 default modes). Probably something
|
|
that we need to handle in mutter anyway.

@serial must match the serial from the last GetResources() call,

If @persistent is true, mutter will attempt to replicate this

configuration the next time this HW layout appears.
|

@crtcs represents the new logical configuration, as a list
|
|
of structures containing:
|
|
- u ID: the API ID from the corresponding GetResources() call
|
|
- i new_mode: the API ID of the new mode to configure the CRTC
|
|
with, or -1 if the CRTC should be disabled
|
|
- i x, y: the new coordinates of the top left corner
|
|
the geometry will be completed with the size information

|
from @new_mode
|

- u transform: the desired transform

|
|
- a{sv} properties: properties whose value should be changed
|
|

Note: CRTCs not referenced in the array will be disabled.
|

@outputs represent the output property changes as:
|
|
- u ID: the API ID of the output to change
|
|
- a{sv} properties: properties whose value should be changed
|
|
|
|
Note: both for CRTCs and outputs, properties not included in
|
|
the dictionary will not be changed.
|
|
|
|
Note: unrecognized properties will have no effect, but if the
|
|
configuration change succeeds the property will be reported
|
|
by the next GetResources() call, and if @persistent is true,
|
|
it will also be saved to disk.
|
|
|
|
If the configuration is invalid according to the previous
|
|
GetResources() call, for example because a CRTC references
|
|
an output it cannot drive, or not all outputs support the
|
|
chosen mode, the error org.freedesktop.DBus.InvalidArgs will
|
|
be generated.
|
|
|
|
If the configuration cannot be applied for any other reason
|
|
(eg. the screen size would exceed texture limits), the error
|
|
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded will be generated.

PowerSaveMode:

it's perfectly possible that all values different than on

Also, setting the PowerSaveMode to 3 (off) may or may

not have the same effect as disabling all outputs by

setting no CRTC on them with ApplyConfiguration(), and
