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.

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.

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
supports underscanning. The client should assume a monitor does not
support underscanning if no property was added.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a D-Bus method for getting the current monitor and logical monitor
state. Currently does not contain information about transforms or any
limitations (such as limited CRTCs and cloning).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Let the backends decide whether to just rebuild a derived state, or use
the NULL config to rebuild an empty logical state.
This also changes the expected screen size values of the no-outputs
test; as this case is actually handled now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
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
Expose via a new API whether the transform on a logical monitor is
handled by the backend. This was previously only exposed only in the
native backend. This will be used to emulate not supporting transforms
in the backend in the nested backend.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Split up logical monitor cration into derived (when derived from
current underlying configuration) and non-derived (when creating from a
logical monitor configuration). This avoids that type of logic in the
logical monitor creation function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Handle headless setup gracefully by having no logical monitors. This
commit only makes the monitor management code deal with it; other areas
may still not be able to handle it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Handle configuring when the laptop lid is closed. This is so far
handled by creating a linear configuration while ignoring the laptop
panel. Changing the current configuration will come later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Move the UpClients notify::lid-is-closed signal handling into
MetaMonitorManager, and put the getter behind a vfunc. This means
Placing it behind a vfunc allows custom backends to implement it
differently; for example the test backend can mock the state.
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
meta_monitor_manager_read_current_state() as it does not read any
configuration, but reads the current state as described by the backend.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
In preparation of replacing the configuration system with one working
with high level monitors instead of low level outputs etc, move
configuarion handling code into obviously named function (containing
the word 'legacy'.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Don't deal with adding/removing tiled Xrandr monitors in the generic
backend, but leave it to the Xrandr backend. The tiled monitor will
itself notify the backend when such a monitor is added and removed.
Tiled Xrandr monitors are now based no MetaMonitor instead of
MetaLogicalMonitor. This means that mirrored tiled monitors will now be
represented correctly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of using crtcs and outputs to generate logical monitors, use
the ready made monitor abstraction that hides irrelevant things such as
monitor tiling etc.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Generate a set of "monitors" abstracting the physical concepts. Each
monitor is built up of one or more outputs; multiple outputs being
tiled monitors. Logical monitors will later be built from these.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The MetaMonitorMode referred to the mode of a CRTC, and with the future
introduction of a MetaMonitor, theh old name would be confusing.
Instead call it what it is.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
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
indices, put it in a GList, and use GList iterators when iterating and
alternative API where array indices were previously used.
This allows for more liberty regarding the type of the logical monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Refactor the tiled monitor assembly code (that constructs a logical
monitor out of tiling information. Part of the reason is to move away
from array based storage, part is to make the code easier to follow,
and part is to separate logical monitor construction from list
manipulation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Change meta_monitor_manager_get_logical_monitor_at() to use floats,
replace users of meta_monitor_manager_get_monitor_at_point() to use the
API that returns a logical monitor and remove the now unused function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Move the last piece of monitor grid getter API to the monitor manager
away from MetaScreen. The public facing API are still there, but are
thin wrappers around the MetaMonitorManager API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Turning a rectangle into a logical monitor also has nothing to do with
the screen (MetaScreen) so move it to MetaMonitorManager which has that
information.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This is the current equivalent of looking up the logical monitor in the
logical monitor array using the number, but eventually that will be
deprecated, and before that done differently, so add a temporary helper
for the places that has not been ported yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
In preparation for further refactorizations, rename the MetaMonitorInfo
struct to MetaLogicalMonitor. Eventually, part of MetaLogicalMonitor
will be split into a MetaMonitor type.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768976
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765267
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751638
Some monitors return a bunch of bytes on their display descriptor
which aren't valid utf8 and thus we fail to serialize them later on
for the DisplayConfig DBus API.
Let's fall back to the stringified product code and serial number in
that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752673
Tracking back from the monitor to the output every time we need to
figure out the scale of a window on a monitor is inconvenient, so
propagate the scale from the output to the monitor it is associated
with.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744934
So that clients such as the control center can decide to hide an
underscanning checkbutton when the output does not support it.
Support in the KMS / native backend to come later...
The monitors info structure is created from the tiled outputs
and this is used as the central storage for info about a monitor
as opposed to the output state.
It appears at least the EDID mm w/h is for the whole monitor and
not per tile.
Some DRM drivers have added a consistent set of properties that
allow compensating for the overscan that some TVs do, without the
user being able to disable.
This function returns the monitor_info index corresponding to the given
coordinates, or -1 if none is found at that point. The native backend
has been changed in places where it could make use of this function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746896
This just exposes the type and the singleton getter necessary to make
it available to introspection. We'll expose more functionality as it
becomes needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743745
EDID parsing has been refactored to a common meta_output_parse_edid()
function, which ensures the extracted information is the same on both KMS
and X11 backend, so it can be used consistently on eg. settings values.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742882
It turns out that this was wrong because MetaWindow->monitor points to
the old monitor infos and they are needed to position windows in the
new configuration which happens in a monitors-changed handler.
This reverts commit e1704acda4.
We overrode the property for PowerSaveMode, which meant that gdbus's
auto-generated PropertiesChanged code wasn't being run.
This really confused gnome-rr and gnome-settings-daemon's power plugin
about the current DPMS state of the display, since they used their
cached PowerSaveMode properties, and never saw a PropertiesChanged being
emitted.
If a display was on, they set it to off, and then set it back on, the
setting back on would never fire, since they thought the display was
already off.
To fix this, remove our custom property override and just respond to
notifications on the object.
Namely, this fixes the DPMS management when receiving notifications so
that it now properly times out.
The output_id is more of an opaque identifier for the monitor, based on
its underlying ID from the windowing system. Since we also use the term
"output_id" for the output's index, rename our use of the opaque cookie
"output_id" to "winsys_id".
A gulong is not enough to get 64 bits in all arches, so we must
cast it, or we can corrupt the stack.
This was downstream bug bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1002055
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707267
Right now this just has all of the files in one directory. We'll
be introducing more structure to this in the future, and build
a proper backend system.
