Using the new Cogl API to actually modeset (because we can't
use the DRM API directly without controlling buffer swap), we
can finally have a KMS monitor backend, which means full display
configuration when running on bare metal.
If we launch gnome-session ourselves after setting up XWayland,
we then get gnome-settings-daemon and all the required session
stuff, which means we can run a full regular gnome session.
Add "edid-file", if we have one (in the KMS case, where we can point
people to the right sysfs file), or "edid" with inline data.
These are needed by colord to build the default ICC profile for
uncalibrated displays.
Instead of keeping a forest of if backend else ..., use a subclass
and virtual functions to discriminate between XRandR and the
dummy backend (which lives in the parent class togheter with the
common code)
We want to show a dialog when a display change happens from the
control center. To do so, add a new vfunc to MetaPlugin and
call it when a configuration change is requested via DBus.
GnomeRR needs that too.
The backlight is exported as a normalized 0-100 value, or -1 if not
supported. Clamping to HW limits is handled by the backend.
Changing backlight uses a different method call, to avoid recomputing
the full display configuration every time the user presses the
backlight keys.
Ripped off libgnome-desktop, trimming the parts that checked
that the configuration was plausible, as that should be done
in gnome-control-center before asking mutter for a change.
Add a new object, MetaMonitorConfig, that takes care of converting
between the logical configurations stored in monitors.xml and
the HW resources exposed by MonitorManager.
This commit includes loading and saving of configurations, but
still missing is the actual CRTC assignments and a default
configuration when none is found in the file.
Read the current transform from XRandR, and expose the transforms
that are really supported on the bus.
The dummy backend now advertises all transforms, since it doesn't
actually apply them.
Add a number of dummy outputs and modes to the dummy backend,
and implement the writing bits.
The only visible effect is that you can change the screen size,
which resizes the output window.
Now MonitorManager does its own handling of XRandR events, which
means we no longer handle ConfigureNotify on the root window.
MetaScreen reacts to MonitorManager::monitor-changed and updates
its internal state, including the new size.
This paves the way for doing display configuration using only
the dummy backend, which would allow testing wl_output interfaces.
Implement ApplyConfiguration in terms of XRandR calls.
Error checking is done before actually committing the configuration.
If mutter is using one of the other monitor config backends, an
error is reported and nothing happens.
Turns out that even if two outputs say that they can be controlled
by a given CRTC, you can't configure them in the same CRTC unless
they are marked as "possible clones" one of the other.
This can further restrict the configuration options, so we need
to expose this limitation in the DBus API.
This new interface will be used by the control center and possibly
the settings daemon to configure the screens. It is designed to
resemble a simplified XRandR, while still exposing all the quirks
of the hardware, so that the panel can limit the user choices
appropriately.
To do so, MetaMonitorMode needs to track CRTCs, outputs and modes,
so the low level objects have been decoupled from the high-level
MetaMonitorInfo, which is used by core and API and offers a simplified
view of HW, that hides away the details of what is cloned and how.
This is still not efficient as it should be, because on every
HW change we drop all data structures and rebuild them from scratch
(which is not expensive because there aren't many of them, but
at least in the XRandR path it involves a few sync X calls)
Create a new singleton object, MetaMonitorManager, which deals
with reading the XRandR configuration and in the future applying
the new one.
This is required because xwayland will not bind the xserver interface
until he has seen the current wl_outputs, so we can't wait
until MetaScreen is built to expose them.
