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.

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.

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.

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.

The method used for getting the current logical monitor (the monitor
where the pointer cursor is currently at) depends on the backend type,
so move that logic to the corresponding backends.

In preparation for further refactorizations, rename the MetaMonitorInfo
struct to MetaLogicalMonitor. Eventually, part of MetaLogicalMonitor
will be split into a MetaMonitor type.

Enabling edge scrolling before disabling two finger would result in
edge scrolling not actually being enabled because two finger is still
enabled at the time and we bail out.
This patch moves this logic to common code for both the native and X
backends and fixes it by ensuring that both settings are never set at
the same time and still re-checking if edge scrolling should be
enabled after two finger scrolling gets disabled.
We also simplify the code by not checking for supported/available
settings since the underlying devices will just reject those values
and there isn't anything we can do about it here. It's the UI's job to
only show supported/available settings to users.

Allocate the offscreen stage view framebuffers up front; otherwise they
may get allocated after the viewport calculated by the stage is set,
which would cause the viewport to be incorrect until recalculated.

Support changing the mouse and trackball acceleration profile. This
makes it possible to for example disable pointer acceleration by
choosing the 'flat' profile.
This adds an optional dependency on gudev. Gudev is used by the X11
backend to detect whether a device is a mouse or not. Without gudev
support, the accel profile settings has have effect for mouse devices.
Trackball still uses the "strstr" approach, since udev doesn't support
tagging devices as trackball devices yet.

Add support for setting edge-scrolling separately from two-finger
scrolling. We now have 2 separate boolean settings for those, with the
Mouse panel in gnome-control-center allowing to set only one of those at
a time, but nothing precludes both being set in the configuration.
We need to handle:
- two-finger-scrolling-enabled and edge-scrolling-enabled settings both
being set.
- those 2 settings being change out-of-order
- two-finger-scrolling being set on a device that doesn't support it
- edge-scrolling-enabled on a device that doesn't support it
And the combinations of one touchpad supporting just one of edge
scrolling and two-finger scrolling and another vice-versa.

They are already effectively interchangeable so this should reduce
pointless casts.
Just like in GDK though, we need to keep the old definition for
instrospection to be able to include the struct's fields.
Add support for drawing a stage using multiple framebuffers each making
up one part of the stage. This works by the stage backend
(ClutterStageWindow) providing a list of views which will be for
splitting up the stage in different regions.
A view layout, for now, is a set of rectangles. The stage window (i.e.
stage "backend" will use this information when drawing a frame, using
one framebuffer for each view. The scene graph is adapted to explictly
take a view when painting the stage. It will use this view, its
assigned framebuffer and layout to offset and clip the drawing
accordingly.
This effectively removes any notion of "stage framebuffer", since each
stage now may consist of multiple framebuffers. Therefore, API
involving this has been deprecated and made no-ops; namely
clutter_stage_ensure_context(). Callers are now assumed to either
always use a framebuffer reference explicitly, or push/pop the
framebuffer of a given view where the code has not yet changed to use
the explicit-buffer-using cogl API.
Currently only the nested X11 backend supports this mode fully, and the
per view framebuffers are all offscreen. Upon frame completion, it'll
blit each view's framebuffer onto the onscreen framebuffer before
swapping.
Other backends (X11 CM and native/KMS) are adapted to manage a
full-stage view. The X11 CM backend will continue to use this method,
while the native/KMS backend will be adopted to use multiple view
drawing.

Split the stage window implementations into three separate objects: one
for X11 as a compositing manager, one for X11 running as a nested
Wayland compositor, and one for running with the native backend.
The new stage window implementations are only thin shells; this is in
preparation for making the stage windows behave more differently.

The stage resizing was placed in the generic backend, which was only

Instead of passing around the KMS file descriptor via clutter to cogl,

MetaRenderer is meant to be the object responsible for rendering the

Introduce two new clutter backends: MetaClutterBackendX11 and
MetaClutterBackendNative. They are so far only wrap ClutterBackendX11

Emit a signal so that interested parties can recreate their FBOs and
queue a full scene graph redraw to ensure we don't end up showing
graphical artifacts.
This relies on the GL driver supporting the
NV_robustness_video_memory_purge extension and cogl creating a
suitable GL context. For now we only make use of it with the X backend
since the only driver with which this is useful is NVIDIA.

Right now the XSync based idle monitoring code, will fetch all active
watches into a list, and then call their watch callbacks one by one
as necessary. If one watch callback invalidates another watch, the
list will contain free'd memory.
This commit makes sure to consult the hash table after ever call
of a watch callback, to ensure mutter never looks at freed memory.

When the touchpad is two-finger scrolling capable, always enable it.
When the touchpad only supports edge scrolling (usually older devices, and
usually smaller devices), allow disabling the edge scrolling.
This requires a newer gsettings-desktop-schemas as the scroll-method key

Ubuntu ships a patch in the X server that makes the group switch
keybindings only work on key release, i.e. the X server internal group
locking happens on key release which means that mutter gets the
XKB_KEY_ISO_Next_Group key press event, does its XLockGroup() call
with a new index and then, on key release, the X server moves the
index further again.
We can work around this without affecting our behavior in unpatched X
servers by doing a XLockGroup() every time we're notified of the
locked group changing if it doesn't match what we requested.

We might get modes in XRROutputInfos that aren't in the
XRRScreenResources we get earlier. This always seems to be transient,
i.e. when it happens, the X server will usually send us a follow up
RRScreenChangeNotify where we then get a "stable" view of the world
again.
In any case, when these glitches happen, we end up with NULL pointers
in the MetaOutput->modes array which makes us crash later on. This
patch ensures that doesn't happen.

This commits refactors cursor handling code and plugs in logic so that
cursor sprites changes appearance as it moves across the screen.
Renderers are adapted to handle the necessary functionality.
The logic for changing the cursor sprite appearance is done outside of
MetaCursorSprite, and actually where depends on what type of cursor it
is. In mutter we now have two types of cursors that may have their
appearance changed:
- Themed cursors (aka root cursors)
- wl_surface cursors
Themed cursors are created by MetaScreen and when created, when
applicable(*), it will extend the cursor via connecting to a signal
which is emitted everytime the cursor is moved. The signal handler will
calculate the expected scale given the monitor it is on and reload the
theme in a correct size when needed.
wl_surface cursors are created when a wl_surface is assigned the
"cursor" role, i.e. when a client calls wl_pointer.set_cursor. A
cursor role object is created which is connected to the cursor object
by the position signal, and will set a correct texture scale given what
monitor the cursor is on and what scale the wl_surface's active buffer
is in. It will also push new buffers to the same to the cursor object
when new ones are committed to the surface.
This commit also makes texture loading lazy, since the renderer doesn't
calculate a rectangle when the cursor position changes.
The native backend is refactored to be triple-buffered; see the comment
in meta-cursor-renderer-native.c for further explanations.

If the user Alt-Tabs out of the window, we will be left thinking
the Alt key is still pressed since we don't see a release for it.
Solve this and other related issues for the nested X11 compositor
by selecting for KeymapStateMask which causes a KeymapNotify event
to be sent after each FocusIn, and when we get these events, update
the internal XKB state and send any necessary modifiers events to
clients.

Since mutter has two X connections and does damage handling on the
frontend while fence triggering is done on the backend, we have a race
between XDamageSubtract() and XSyncFenceTrigger() causing missed
redraws in the GL_EXT_X11_sync_object path.
If the fence trigger gets processed first by the server, any client
drawing that happens between that and the damage subtract being
processed and is completely contained in the last damage event box
that mutter got, won't be included in the current frame nor will it
cause a new damage event.
A simple fix for this would be XSync()ing on the frontend connection
after doing all the damage subtracts but that would add a round trip
on every frame again which defeats the asynchronous design of X
fences.
Instead, if we move fence handling to the frontend we automatically
get the right ordering between damage subtracts and fence triggers.
