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.

Split up the MetaRendererX11 class into one for when running as a

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
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.
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
Add support to configure the logical monitor scale. With this, it
becomes possible to override the automatically calculated scaling
number per logical monitor.
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
The default (calculated) scale is derived from the output, but
ultimately set via the monitor scale. This will enable config files to
override the scale. Yet to be done is handling when a scale is not
supported by a backend (i.e. the X11 backend).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
In some cases the hardware cursor is invisible when Mutter is launched from the
TTY, due to drmModeSetCursor2 failing without a fallback being set.
This patch captures the return value of drmModeSetCursor2 and in case of an
error, enables the texture based fallback. It adds a `broken` state, that is
checked in should_have_hw_cursor() and
meta_cursor_renderer_native_realize_cursor_from_*() to avoid copying every
cursor into a gbm buffer when we know it will fail every single time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770020
Quick motions can come across as too fast (or slow) if it crosses outputs
with different scales. If this happens, rebuild the motion delta applying
the scale that applies to each logical monitor the pointer is crossing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778119
To allow for more natural pointer movements from relative pointer
devices (e.g. mouse, touchpad, tablet tool in relative mode, etc), scale
the relative motion from libinput with the scale of the monitor. In
effect, this means that the pointer movement is twice as fast (physical
movement vs numbers of pixels passed) as before, but it also means that
the same physical movement crosses the distance in a GUI no matter if
it is on a HiDPI monitor or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778119
Clutter's evdev input backend has no support for setting double
click timeout set by gnome-settings-daemon. This results in
touchpad click events timing out on wayland, because the
default timeout value wasn't enough.
This patch moves timeout setting to mutter and removes X11
backend specific setting from clutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771576
The code calculating the output scale involves calculations around pixel
and mm sizes, however we do compare post-transformation pixel sizes to
untransformed mm sizes, which breaks the DPI calculations. Fix this by
transforming back pixel sizes back to untransformed.
While we're at it, actually compare the output height to HIDPI_MIN_HEIGHT
instead of its width, it seems right according to the #define name and
comment.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777687
When a state changed, e.g. a window went from unfullscreen to
fullscreen, always sync the window geometry, otherwise a compositor
application (e.g. gnome-shell) might end up with an unfinished window
state transition effect.
Without always syncing, the compositor plugin will see a 'size-change'
event, as a result of the state change, but if the size didn't change,
it would never see the 'size-changed' event. If an effect, for example
gnome-shell's fullscreen effect, is triggered on 'size-change' it might
rely on the actual size change to not get stuck. This commit allows it
to have this dependency.
This fixes a bug where a fullscreen effect gets "stuck" when a window
goes fullscreen without changing the window geometry.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780292
The mitigation to avoid missing EDID blob was incorrect; the reason it
sometimes failed to read was a race between different applications all
trying to read the EDID at the same time. E.g. gnome-shell as GDM would
at the same time as the session gnome-shell try to read the EDID of the
same connector at the same time, triggering a race in the kernel,
making the blob reading ioctl occationally fail with ENOENT.
Remove this mitigation, as it didn't really mitigate anything; the race
could just as well happen when doing the actual read later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779837
When mutter is paused (i.e. not the DRM master), stop listening on
hotplug events. Instead read the current state and set modes when
resumed.
This avoids a race condition in the drm API which currently only
manages to properly deal with one application querying the EDID state
at the same time when there are multiple mutter instances running at
the same time (e.g. gnome-shell driving gdm at the same time as
gnome-shell as the session instance).

If the dnd window ends up lower in the overall stack than the window

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
When no output was specified, the screen limit was used to calculate the
aspect ratio. The screen limit, however, is either just an arbitrary
number if no screen limit is applicable, or a hardware graphics buffer
limit, which has nothing to do with anything actually displayed. Change
it to use the screen size instead, to get something that makes more
sense when no output is found.
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
Previously, the size of the logical monitor was derived directly from
the tiling information. This works fine until we add transformations,
or set modes with a dimension different from the resulting resolution
when tiled. Fix this by traversing the assigned CRTC rects, as these
are already transformed by the configuration system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
By setting the environment variable MUTTER_DEBUG_TILED_DUMMY_MONITORS
to "1", the dummy MetaMonitorManager backend used when running mutter
nested will create tiled monitors instead of single-output/CRTC
monitors. This makes it possible to test tiled monitor configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Refactor monitor generation by splitting the generation of modes, CRTCs
and outputs into a separate function. A side effect is that each output
will have its own set of possible modes.
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
Add support for non-tiled monitor modes on tiled monitors. This is done
by adding all the other supported modes, except the modes with the
same resolution as the tile dimensions.

When adding a monitor and all its outputs, don't try to set the logical
monitor of the outputs CRTC if none was assigned. This might happen if
a tiled monitor only uses a subset of the connectors it are connected
via.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Don't set the CRTC rect and screen size at in read_current(), as those

QT apps reject DnD if the timestamp received in the SelectionRequest
event isn't the same it gave in XdndPosition/Drop client messages.
Bookkeeping and using it in XConvertSelection makes it happy again.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779757
We are keeping accounting of the focus window as seen by the DnD bridge
right here, so use it instead of the MetaWaylandDragGrab focus as it may
lag behind the real focus (i.e. till the drag source notices the window
and sends XdndEnter to it).
This leads to the window trying to be repositioned more often than
necessary when the drag source takes long to send the XdndEnter client
message, and maybe not repositioned at all if the pointer leaves the
surface while no XdndEnter message was received.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763246
We currently wait for the selection being cleared by the drag source,
which might not happen on not quite educated clients. This may leave
a stuck XDND grab in the compositor side.
We can actually do a bit better, and clear the grab if:
1) The drag source sent XdndDrop to the wayland drag destination.
2) There's no accepting drag destination and all pointer buttons are
released.
3) As usual, whenever the drag source clears the selection data
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763246
No XDnD events which notify DnD status change comes in Wayland. To emulate XDnD
behavior, MetaDnd checks whether there is a grab or not when the modal window
starts showing. When there is a grab, it processes the raw events from
compositor, and emits DnD signals for plugin.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765003
Implement MetaDnd for emitting DnD signals to plugins such as gnome-shell. The

Ungrabbed pointer motion events over a client window area don't even
reach mutter in X compositor mode, but as a wayland compositor we
process those events which ends up in a call stack like:
- meta_window_handle_ungrabbed_event
- meta_ui_frame_handle_event
- handle_motion_notify_event
- get_control
- meta_ui_frame_calc_geometry
Computing frame geometry is a relatively CPU expensive operation and
doing it on every motion event over a client window is pointless work
since we aren't going to change the cursor or prelight any frame
widget.
This commit special cases the determination of
META_FRAME_CONTROL_CLIENT_AREA using a much faster method. When
continuously moving the pointer over an X (client) window, it results
in a ~40% decrease in mutter cpu usage.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779436
Set up things so that if the INTEL_swap_event extension is not present,
but the driver is known to have good thread support, we use an extra
thread and call glXWaitVideoSync() in the thread. This allows idles

otherwise, without INTEL_swap_event, we'll just block in glXSwapBuffers().

Commits 6dbec6f8, 734402e1 and f041b35b introduced memory leaks by

forgetting to free those original buffers.
Some error cases were also not freeing the ->prop buffer as they
should.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642652
Wayland windows can be zero sized until clients attach a buffer, but
our rectangle code doesn't deal with this case well, in particular,
meta_screen_get_monitor_for_rect() might end up choosing the wrong
monitor for a zero sized rectangle since
meta_rectangle_contains_rect() considers a zero sized rectangle at the
right or bottom edges of another rectangle (the monitor's) to be
contained there.
Since out size limits constraint will enforce a minimum size of 1x1,
we might as well enforce that when setting up the constraint info so
that the correct monitor gets chosen and the single monitor constraint
doesn't move these windows to the wrong one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772525
Wayland windows are initially zero sized until clients commit the
first buffer. Despite being invisible, clients are allowed to request
such windows to be fullscreened on a specific output before they
attach the first buffer which means we need to be able to move them.
meta_window_move_to_monitor() doesn't handle this case because these
windows' initial monitor is a placeholder since their initial
coordinates are 0,0+0+0, which results in us using a rectangle as
old_area for meta_window_move_between_rects() that might be to the "right"
of the window causing the move to go further out of the visible
screen's coordinates. This is later "corrected" by the constraints
system but the window might end up in the wrong monitor.
To fix this, we can make meta_window_move_between_rects() accept a
NULL old_area, meaning that we move the window to the new_area without
trying to keep a relative position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772525

We currently don't have any shadow class for combo box popups,
which means the default shadow of normal windows is used. That's
clearly odd given that the two are very different, and isn't

we could add a dedicated shadow class, the designers are fine
with reusing the existing shadow for dropdown-menus, so let's
do that.

Split up the X11 backend into two parts, one for running as a

In order to minimize the amount of breakage, while at the same time
making it easier to make backward incompatible changes needed to
continue turning libmutter into a capable Wayland compositor, make the
libmutter and friends (libmutter-clutter, libmutter-cogl*) parallel
installable by adding a version number to the name. This changes
various filenames, for example what previously was libmutter.so is now
libmutter-0.so (assuming the version for now is 0), and
libmutter-clutter-1.0.so is now libmutter-clutter-0.so. The pkg-config
filenames and GObject introspection has been renamed to reflect this as
well.
This enables a downstream compositor rely on a specific version of the
libmutter API, while gracefully handling API/ABI changes by having to
update to the new version at their own pace.

If the meta_window_actor_effect_completed() triggers inconsistent

Make sure that each logical monitor owns the expected actual monitors.
This currently needs special care when dealing with laptop lid the

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.

Operate on MetaMonitor's instead of MetaOutput's, as the latter may be
only a subset of an actual "monitor" when referring to the physical
computer equipment.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
When a logical monitor constains monitors with different subpixel
ordering, make the wl_output have the subpixel order 'unknown' so that
clients don't make assumptions given only a subset of the monitors of
the given region.

Sometimes we hit a race on hot-plug where we try to read the KMS
resources and the EDID blob is not yet ready. This would normally
result in a ENOENT when retrieving the blob. Handle this by retrying
after 50 milliseconds after a hot-plug event. Do this up to 10 times,
and after that give up trying to get the EDID blob and continue with
best effort.

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'.

A monitor spec object is meant to be used to identify a certain monitor
on a certain output. The spec is unique per actual monitor and connector,
meaning that a monitor that changes from one connector from another
(e.g. HDMI1 to HDMI2) will not be identified as the same. It is meant
to associate for example a configuration entry with an actual monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a "mode spec" concept, meaning to be used as a identifier for an
actual monitor mode. It consists of details making a mode unique, i.e.
the total resolution and refresh rate. This will later be used to get
the actual monitor mode (set of one or more CRTC modes).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add "monitor modes" abstracting the modes set on a monitor. On normal
monitors, this directly maps to the CRTC modes, but on tiled monitors,
a monitor mode can consist modes per tiled output.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Don't try to mirror the physical dimension, since that's a property of
one of the monitors, not of the logical monitor. Callers are changed to
deal with choosing the monitor to represent the logical monitor.
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
Set up the expected result in a declarative way in the same place as
the test case setup is declared. This way we have a completely
declarative way to create test cases.
