In Xrandr we were caching the available scaling modes that were computed just
for the current mode, for each monitor, while we can actually reuse the
default implementation, by just passing the proper scaling constraint.
In monitor we need then to properly filter these values, by only accepting
integer scaling factors that would allow to have a minimal logical monitor
size.

Scanout doesn't go through the usual path of compositing and doing
eglSwapBuffers, therefore it doesn't hit the timestamp query placed in
that path. Instead, get the timings by binding the scanout buffer to an
FBO and doing a timestamp query on the FBO.

This changes the way the KMS backends load; if we're headless, we always
use the dummy one and fail otherwise; in other cases, we first try the

This practically does the same thing as part of MetaLauncher, except

closed and control of the device released.

When drmModePageFlip() or drmModeAtomicCommit() unexpectedly failed (e.g.
ENOSPC, which has been seen in the wild), this failure was not handled
very gracefully. The page flip listener for the scanout was left in the
MetaKmsUpdate, meaning when the primary plane composition was later page
flipped, two page flip listeners were added, one for the primary plane,
and one for the scanout. This caused the 'page-flipped' event to be
handled twice, the second time being fatal.
Handle this by making 'no-discard' listener flag be somewhat reversed,
and say 'drop-on-error', and then drop all 'drop-on-error' listeners
when a MetaKmsUpdate failed to be processed.
Also for a "preserve" flagged update, don't ever trigger "discard"
callbacks just yet, as preserved updates are used again for the primary
plane composition, in order to not miss e.g. CRTC gamma updates, or
cursor plane updates, which were added separately.

Commit 64c9c9c5b0 fixed monitor
screencasting, when fractional screencasting is enabled.
For the remote desktop usage, NotifyPointerMotionAbsolute() submits
the new mouse pointer position in addition to the stream, where the
mouse pointer was moved.
When not using fractional scaling, the mouse pointer position is
correct.
With the usage of fractional scaling, the mouse pointer position is
wrong, as the scale of the position is applied two times.
Fix this behaviour, by reverting the second scale by dividing by the
logical monitor scale, when fractional scaling is used.

All pointer a11y is a fabrication of Clutter backend-independent
code, with the help of a ClutterVirtualInputDevice and with some
UI on top.
On the other hand, MetaInputSettings is a backend implementation
detail, this has 2 gotchas:
- In the native backend, the MetaInputSettings (and pointer a11y
with it) are initialized early, before the ClutterSeat core
pointer is set up.
- Doing this from the MetaInputSettings also means another dubious
access from the input thread into main thread territory.
Move the pointer a11y into ClutterSettings, making this effectively
backend-independent business, invariably done from the main thread

Virtual Kernel Mode Setting (vkms) is a virtual /dev/dri/card* device
not backed by any actual hardware. It's intended for testing purposes,
e.g. to run tests suites with a reproducable setup, or in continuous
integration pipelines.
Currently mutter don't have any tests that can run on top of vkms, but
will eventually get that. To prepare for the ability to do that, and
having said kernel module loaded without causing wierd issues with any
active session, add an udev rule that tells mutter to ignore any vkms
device.
Otherwise, when vkms is loaded, mutter would detect it, assume it's a
regular monitor, configure it as such, thus add a region of the stage
that ends up nowhere, which isn't very helpful. It might also conflict
with running actual tests that need to interact with vkms if the active

When GNOME is animating a display fade when the night light feature is toggled
on or off, it sends a lot of change requests for the CTM property in the

are redundant. Fix this by caching the CTM value in the MetaOutputXrandr and

On hybrid graphics system, the primary path used to transfer the stage
framebuffer onto the dedicated GPU's video memory preparing for scanout,
is using the dedicated GPU to glBlitFramebuffer() the content from the
iGPU texture onto the scanout buffer.
After we have done this, we reset the current EGL context back to the
one managed by cogl. What we failed to do, however, was to reset the
current EGL context when we inhibited the actual page flip due to having
entered power save mode.
When we later started to paint again, Cogl thought the current EGL
context was still the correct one, but in fact it was the one used for
the iGPU -> dGPU blit, causing various EGL surface errors, and as a side
effect, eventually hitting an assert.
Fix this by making sure we reset to the Cogl managed EGL context also
for this case.

Destroying the EGLSurface frees the underlying container structs. When
we call gbm_surface_release_buffer() with a gbm_surface the EGLSurface
was created from, doing that after the EGLSurface was destroyed results
in attempts to access freed memory. Fix this by releasing any buffer
first, followed by destroying the EGLSurface, and lastly, the
gbm_surface.
This was not a problem prior to CoglOnscreen turning into a GObject, as
in that case, the dispose-chain was not setup correctly, and the
EGLSurface destruction was done in the native backend implementation.
This also changes a g_return_if_fail() to a g_warn_if_fail(), as if we
hit the unexpected case, we still need to call up to the parent dispose

If there was only a single mode, add the common modes to provide options
to select other resolutions than the built in default. This avoids
issues where the connector listed multiple supported modes, but where
the common modes added would exceed the possible bandwidth. We could
probably make an attempt to filter out more modes from the common mode
list to avoid these issues, but it's likely that the driver already
lists suitable modes, meaning there is no point in adding the common
modes.
The common modes were initially added[0] to add modes to connectors with

The intel DRM driver is known for not being able to handle multi head

The new RecordVirtual API creates a virtual monitor, i.e. a region of
the stage that isn't backed by real monitor hardware. It's intended to
be used by e.g. network screens on active sessions, virtual remote

A major difference between the current Record* API's is that
RecordVirtual relies on PipeWire itself to negotiate the refresh rate

Virtual monitors are monitors that isn't backed by any monitor like
hardware. It would typically be backed by e.g. a remote desktop service,
or a network display.
It is currently only supported by the native backend, and whether the
X11 backend will ever see virtual monitors is an open question. This
rest of this commit message describes how it works under the native
backend.
Each virutal monitor consists of virtualized mode setting components:
* A virtual CRTC mode (MetaCrtcModeVirtual)
* A virtual CRTC (MetaCrtcVirtual)
* A virtual connector (MetaOutputVirtual)
In difference to the corresponding mode setting objects that represents
KMS objects, the virtual ones isn't directly tied to a MetaGpu, other
than the CoglFramebuffer being part of the GPU context of the primary
GPU, which is the case for all monitors no matter what GPU they are
connected to. Part of the reason for this is that a MetaGpu in practice
represents a mode setting device, and its CRTCs and outputs, are all
backed by real mode setting objects, while a virtual monitor is only
backed by a framebuffer that is tied to the primary GPU. Maybe this will
be reevaluated in the future, but since a virtual monitor is not tied to
any GPU currently, so is the case for the virtual mode setting objects.
The native rendering backend, including the cursor renderer, is adapted
to handle the situation where a CRTC does not have a GPU associated with
it; this in practice means that it e.g. will not try to upload HW cursor
buffers when the cursor is only on a virtual monitor. The same applies
to the native renderer, which is made to avoid creating
MetaOnscreenNative for views that are backed by virtual CRTCs, as well
as to avoid trying to mode set on such views.

When rebuilding the monitors (e.g. during hotplug), make sure to detach
the disposed monitors from any outputs before creating the new monitors.
While this isn't currently needed, as outputs are too being recreated,
with the to be introduced virtual outputs that are created for virtual
monitors, this is not always the case anymore, as these virtual outputs
are not regenerated each time anything changes.
Prepare for this by making sure that cleaning up disposed monitors
detach themself properly from the outputs, so new ones can attach
themself to outputs without running into conflicts.

KMS, and atomic KMS), as they both depend on being DRM master.
Thus to handle running without being DRM master (i.e. headless), add a
"dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice implementation, that doesn't do any mode
setting at all, and that switches to operate on the render node, instead
of the card node itself.
This means we still use the same GBM code paths as the regular native
backend paths, except we never make use of any CRTC backed onscreen
framebuffers.
Eventually, this "dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice will be replaced separating
"KMS" device objects from "render" device objects, but that will require
more significant changes. It will, however, be necessary for e.g. going
from being headless, only having access to a render node, to turning
into a real session, with a seat, being DRM master, and having access to
a card node.
This is currently not hooked up, but will be in a later commit.

Add a flag to MetaSeatNative and MetaSeatImpl that tells it not to
attempt to create a libinput context. This is intended to be used when
mutter is to run headless, as in without any input devices other than
virtual ones.
