Using 800x600 as minimum logical size is very 4:3 thinking, while a lot of
modern devices are 16:9. The specific reason for this commit is to allow
1.5 scaling at mini-laptops (clamshell devices) with e.g. a 5.5"
1280x720 screen. Given that this device has a keyboard, one obviously
is not holding it very close to ones eyes and at 220 dpi that means the text
is too small at scale 1.0. For one real world example of such a device see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPD_Winhttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792765
Some x86 clamshell design devices use portrait tablet LCD panels while
they should use a landscape panel, resoluting in a 90 degree rotated
picture.
Newer kernels detect this and rotate the fb console in software to
compensate. These kernels also export their knowledge of the LCD panel
orientation vs the casing in a "panel orientation" drm_connector property.
This commit adds support to mutter for reading the "panel orientation"
and transparently (from a mutter consumer's pov) fixing this by applying
a (hidden) rotation transform to compensate for the panel orientation.

Check that if there are multiple modes with the same ID (resolution,
refresh rate and handled flags) we correctly add the preferred mode to
the list of monitor modes.

When generating MetaMonitorMode's, prefer CRTC modes that has the same
set of flags as the preferred mode. This not only is probably a better
set of configurable modes, but it'll guarantee that the preferred mode
is added.
This fixes a crash when the preferred mode was not the first mode with
the same resolution, refresh rate and set of handled modes.

In order to eventually support multilpe GPUs with their own connectors,
split out related meta data management (i.e. outputs, CRTCs and CRTC
modes) into a new MetaGpu GObject.
The Xrandr backend always assumes there is always only a single "GPU" as
the GPU is abstracted by the X server; only the native backend (aside
from the test backend) will eventually see more than one GPU.
The Xrandr backend still moves some management to MetaGpuXrandr, in
order to behave more similarly to the KMS counterparts.

Turn MetaCrtc into a GObject and move it to a separate file. This
changes the storage format, resulting in changing the API for accessing
MetaCrtcs from using an array, to using a GList.

Turn MetaOutput into a GObject and move it to a separate file. This
changes the storage format, resulting in changing the API for accessing
MetaOutputs from using an array, to using a GList.

We currently have a hard coded limit on logical monitor sizes, meant
for filtering out monitor scales that would result in awkward desktop
sizes. This has the side effect of also disqualifying scale 1 for
resolutions that themself are lower than the mentioned limit. To avoid
listing no supported scales, always add the fallback scale 1 if no
other was added.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787477
We have not enough control over the sources of the refresh rate
float variable to make == comparisons reliable, add some room
when comparing these.

The foreach CRTC monitor mode helper incorrectly iterated over outputs
without CRTC when non-tiled modes were set on tiled monitors. This was
not expected by callers, so fix the helper to only iterate over active
outputs (that has or should have a CRTC).
The test cases uses the incorrect behaviour of the foreach CRTC helper
to check that the disabled outputs mode are set to NULL, so add a
foreach output helper and change the tests to use that instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730551
When monitors changed, previous monitor instances are defunct, and any
reference holder should drop its reference. Sometimes they will want to
continue having a reference to the same monitor, so add this function
to make it possible to find it.
Currently the output and crtc references are invalid, as they are not
yet reference counted, so this can only look at cached fields.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784199
Instead of letting MetaMonitor derive the logical monitor size, then
using the main monitor for the position, just let MetaMonitor derive
the whole layout including the position. This means it can deal with
tiled monitors better, for example when the main output (the output
always active when the monitor is active) is not the origin output (the
output with tile position (0, 0)).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781723
Differentiate between non-interlaced and interlaced modes. This is done
by appending an "i" after the resolution part of the mode ID, and
adding a 'is-interlaced' (b) property to the mode properties.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
To be able to add more modes types that happen to have the same
resolution and refresh rate, change the API to specify modes using an
ID string. The ID string is temporary, and only works for associating a
mode for the monitor instance that it was part of.

When using logical sized monitors we are allowed to use fractional scaling
but only if the resulting scaled logical monitor size is in integer form.
So, in order to get this, we allow to scale the monitor to up to
8 fractional values per integer, doing some computation in order to
fetch the nearest values which are closer to the scaling factors we can
permit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
This changes the API to pass supported scales per mode instead of
providing a global list. This allows for more flexible scaling
scenarious, where a scale compatible with one mode can still be made
available even though another mode is incompatible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
For devices connected via HDMI (supposedly TVs) we want have a
scale factor of 1 if we are *below* the smallest 4k resolution
width (not equal or above) and do the scaling factor computation
if we are above the limit. This check was apparently wrongly
ported from gnome-settings-daemon.
Based of a patch by Caolan McNamara <caolanm@redhat.com>.

We will both create and destroy monitors during initialization (when
using the X11 backend), so don't try to access the monitor manager from
the backend, but store a pointer to it instead.
It's stored in MetaMonitor even though only MetaMonitorTiled uses it,
mostly because it makes more sense to store such a pointer there.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781723
In some circumstances, the origin tile (0, 0) is not the one that
should be used to drive the monitor when using a non-tiled mode. Update
MetaMonitorTiled to support this case. It also seems to be so that the
preferred mode might be some low resolution or bogus mode on these
monitors, so also adapt MetaMonitorTiled to manage to ignore the
preferred mode of a tiled monitor if the preferred mode doesn't use
both tiles.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781723
Only support suggested monitor positioning if the monitor is non-tiled.
Normally this functionality is used by virtual machines to provide a
hint of how to place the virtual monitors, and they don't tend to use
tiled monitors anyway.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781723
The scale calculation doesn't really have anything to do with KMS, and
eventually we'll want to have mutter calculate the monitor scale for
non-KMS backends too, so move the scale calculation to MetaMonitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The connector returned is the one of the main output. In other words,
for tiled monitors, it is the connector of the (0, 0) tile, and for
non-tiled, it is simply the connector of the output.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
MetaMonitorConfigStore provides an XML storage mechanism for
MetaMonitorConfigManager. It stores configuration files defined in the
same level as the MetaMonitorsConfig format, i.e. refers to high level
"monitors" and "monitor modes" instead of connectors and CRTCs.
Only reading custom files are implemented and so far unused.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Adds an API to get the position suggested by the backend. This
translates to position advertised by some VM:s, used to hint at a
position making the position more natural (i.e. placed similarly to how
it may be placed on the host desktop).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
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.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
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 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.
