When told to, MetaMonitorConfigStore will save the current
configuration state by replacing the monitors-experimental.xml file
(while backing a backup).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Test that configuration works as expected when the backend doesn't
support handling the transform and an intermediate offscreen
framebuffer is used.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
In order to test deriving the logical state from the underlying
configuration, as is always done on X11, make the test backend derive
the state when stage views are disabled.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
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
Only the first output of the first monitor of the primary logical
monitor should be made primary. This fixes an issue where the wrong
logical monitor ended up as primary when the logical state was derived.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Make the nested backend emulate how the real backends actually draw,
i.e. by drawing each CRTC separately. This makes it possible to test
different configuration paths that can take place on different
hardware, without having said hardware.
For example, by setting MUTTER_DEBUG_TILED_DUMMY_MONITORS and
MUTTER_DEBUG_NESTED_OFFSCREEN_TRANSFORM to "1", one can test a system
with MST (tiled) monitors where the GPU doesn't support some transform.
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
Adds a <transform> element to <logicalmonitor>. It has two possible sub
elemenst: <rotation> which can be normal, right, left or upside_down,
and <flipped> which can either be true or false.
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
Always draw the stage to an offscreen framebuffer when using the nested
backend, so that we more emulate things more similarly to how it works
real-world, i.e. it'll work the way whether stage views are enabled or
not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The CRTC position depends on the transform and how the transform is
implemented. The function calculating the positions still doesn't
support anything but the non-transformed case; this commit is in
preparation of adding support for transforms.
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
Split up the MetaRendererX11 class into one for when running as a
X11 compositing manager, and one for when running as a nested Wayland
compositor.
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
The logical monitor config array ownership was transferred to the
config object when it was created, but was not unset when the config
verification failed, causing the clean up path for invalid configs to
try to clean up the same list again.
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
This gsetting will allow the adding of keywords to a array, where each
keyword may enable an experimental feauter, if the given mutter version
supports that particular experimental feature. Emphasis is put on the
lack of guarantee that any such keyword has any effect. Currently no
keywords are defined.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This commit adds the ability to set a scale on a scale view. This will
cause the content in the stage view to be painted with the given scale,
while still keeping the configured layout on the stage. In effect, for
a stage view with scale 'n', this means the framebuffer of a given stage
will 'n' times larger, keeping the same size on the stage.
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
Logical monitors in a configuration must be adjecent to each other,
meaning there will be at least one pixel long side touching some other
logical monitor.
The exception to this is when there is only one logical monitor, which
cannot be adjecent to any other.
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.
