The output info is established during construction and will stay the
same for the lifetime of the MetaOutput object. Moving it out of the
main struct enables us to eventually clean up the MetaOutput type
inheritence to use proper GObject types.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
MetaCrtcInfo and MetaOutputInfo did not represent information about
MetaCrtc and MetaOutput, but the result of the monitor configuration
assignment algorithm, thus rename it to MetaCrtcAssignment and
MetaOutputAssignment.
The purpose for this is to be able to introduce a struct that actually
carries information about the CRTCs and outputs, as retrieved from the
backend implementations.

When closing the lid of a laptop, we reconfigure all the monitors in order
to update the CRTCs and (if enabled) the global UI scaling factor.
To do this, we try first to reuse the current configuration for the usable
monitors, but if we have only monitor enabled and this one is on the laptop
lid we just end up creating a new configuration where the primary monitor is
the laptop one (as per find_primary_monitor() in MetaMonitorConfigManager),
but ignoring the user parameters.
In case the user selected a different resolution / scaling compared to the
default one, while the laptop lid is closed we might change the monitors
layout, causing applications to rescale or reposition.
To avoid this, when creating the monitors configuration from the current
current state, in case we have only one monitor available and that one is
the laptop panel, let's just reuse this configuration.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1200
The CRTC level transform (i.e. not necessarily the one set on the
hardware) is what is relevant for calculating the layout the CRTC will
have on the stage, so only use the one that can be handled by the
hardware for the CRTC assignment.
This makes the CRTC layout valid for tiled monitors.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1199
To make it more reliable to distinguish between values that are read
from the backend implementation (which is likely to be irrelevant for
anything but the backend implementation), split out those values (e.g.
layout).
This changes the meaning of what was MetaCrtc::rect, to a
MetaCrtcConfig::layout which is the layout the CRTC has in the global
coordinate space.

Modify create_for_builtin_display_rotation to lookup the
MetaLogicalMonitorConfig for the panel in the logical_monitor_configs
list instead of only working when there is only 1 monitor.
The goal of this change is to honor accelerometer value changes when there is
more than 1 monitor.
Note, since create_for_builtin_display_rotation is also used for handling the
"rotate-monitor" hotkey and this commit modifies the common path of
create_for_builtin_display_rotation this means that we will now also honor
"rotate-monitor" hotkey keypresses when there is more than 1 monitor and
update the builtin display rotation instead of ignoring "rotate-monitor"
hotkey keypresses when there is more than 1 monitor. If this is deemed
undesirable this is easy to fix, but I believe that doing things this way
is more consistent.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/959
Add a clone_logical_monitor_config_list helper function for making a deep
copy of MetaLogicalMonitorConfig lists.
This is a preparation patch for honoring accelerometer value changes when
there is more than 1 monitor.

When creating a new config because of a monitor being (un)plugged or
because of super+p being pressed, honor the orientation reported by
the accelerometer for the internal panel.
Before this commit we would always configure the internal panel with
a normal / upright transform when e.g. an external monitor gets plugged
in even if another transform was in use before plugging in the external
monitor. This is inconsistent and causes problems for several use-cases.
This commit fixes this by querying the accelerometer when creating a new
config for an internal panel.

We should not only take the old CRTC for an output whenever
possible, but we should also assign one that is 'free', i.e.
one that another monitor (to be processed after this one)
isn't using, so that that monitor can use the same CRTC.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/373
We shouldn't change an output's CRTC if we don't have to, as
that causes the output to go black.
This patch depends on
"monitor-unit-tests: initial crtcs in custom_lid_switch".

When calculating the logical monitor layout size given a scale, don't
risk precision loss by float to int casting, which could result in a too
small layout.

When constructing MetaMonitorsConfig objects, store which type
of switch_config they are for (or UNKNOWN if it is not such
type of config).
Stop unconditionally setting current_switch_config to UNKNOWN when
handling monitors changed events. Instead, set it to the switch_config
type stored in the MonitorsConfig in the codepath that updates logical
state. In addition to being called in the hotplug case along the same
code flow that generates monitors changed events, this is also called
in the coldplug case where a secondary monitor was connected before
mutter was started.
When creating the default linear display config, create it as a
switch_config so that internal state gets updated to represent
linear mode when this config is used.
The previous behaviour of unconditionally resetting current_switch_config
to UNKNOWN was breaking the internal state machine for display config
switching, causing misbehaviour in gnome-shell's switchMonitor UI when
using display switch hotkeys. The lack of internal tracking when the
displays are already in the default "Join Displays" linear mode was
then causing the first display switch hotkey press to do nothing
(it would attempt to select "Join Displays" mode, but that was already
active).

Rather than handle UpClient in both MetaBackend (to reset the idletime
when the lid is opened), and in MetaMonitorManager and
MetaMonitorConfigManager (to turn the screen under the lid on/off
depending on its status), move the ability to get the lid status from
UPower or mock it in one place, in MetaBackend.
The device orientation coming out of iio-sensor-proxy defines upright/normal
as the direction in which the picture is displayed on the LCD panel without
any rotation. This is necessary for accelerometer rotation to work properly
in desktop environments which are not aware of panel-orientation issues.
This means that we need to correct the logical-monitor-config / user-visible
rotation for the panel-orientation when we get rotation info from
iio-sensor-proxy.

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.

We only counted configured monitors and whether the config was
applicable (could be assigned), howeverwe didn't include disabled
monitors when comparing. This could caused incorrect configurations to
be applied when trying to use the previous configuration.
One scenario where this happened was one a system with one laptop
screen and one external monitor that was hot plugged some point after
start up. When the laptop lid was closed, the 'previous configuration'
being the configuration where only the laptop panel was enabled, passed
'is-complete' check as the number of configured monitors were correct,
and the configuration was applicable.
Avoid this issue by simply comparing the configuration key of the
previous configuration and the configuration key of the current state.
This correctly identifies a laptop panel with the lid closed as
inaccessible, thus doesn't incorrectly revert to the previous
configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788915
When deriving the list of disabled monitors when creating new monitors
configs, don't include the laptop panel if the lid is currently closed,
as we consider the laptop panel nonexistent when the laptop lid is
closed when it comes to configuration.
The laptop panel connector(s) will either way be appropriately disabled
anyway, as the field listing disabled monitors in the configuration do
not affect actual CRTC/connector assignments.

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.

When saving and restoring monitor configurations, we must take disabled
monitors into account, as otherwise one cannot store/restore a
configuration where one or more monitors are explicitly disabled. Make
this possible by adding a <disabled> element to the <configure> element
which lists the monitors that are explicitly disabled. These ones are
included when generating the configuration key, meaning they'll be
picked up correctly.

When rotating 90/270 degrees we need to swap width and height. This fixes

In order to go back in monitor configurations, save them to a history.
The history is implemented as a max 3 element long queue, where newly
set configurations are pushed to the head, and old are popped from the
tail.
The difference between using a single previous config reference and a
queue is that we can now remember the configuration used prior to a
D-Bus triggered configuration when the user discarded the configuration.
This will later be used to restore a previous configuration when a
laptop lid is opened.

This commit changes the new configuration system to use monitors.xml
instead of monitors-experimental.xml. When starting up and the
monitors.xml file is loaded, if a legacy monitors.xml file is
discovered (it has the version number 1), an attempt is made to migrate
the stored configuration onto the new system.
This is done in two steps:
1) Parsing and translation of the old configuration. This works by
parsing file using the mostly the old parser, but then translating the
resulting configuration structs into the new configuration system. As
the legacy configuration system doesn't carry over some state (such as
tiling and scale used), some things are not available. For tiling, the
migration paths makes an attempt to discover tiled monitors by
comparing EDID data, and guessing what the main tile is. Determination
of the scale of a migrated configuration is postponed until the
configuration is actually applied. This works by flagging the
configuration as 'migrated'.
2) Finishing the migration when applying. When a configuration with the
'migrated' flag is retrieved from the configuration store, the final
step of the migration is taken place. This involves calculating the
preferred scale given the mode configured, while making sure this
doesn't result in any overlapping logical monitor regions etc.

This will allows us to support the XF86Display key present on some
laptops, directly in mutter. This is also known, in evdev, as
KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE.
The common usage for this key is to alternate between a few well known
multi-monitor configurations though these aren't officially
standardized. As an example, Lenovo documents it as:
"Switches the display output location between the computer display
and an external monitor."
On this patch, we're just introducing the configurations that have been
implemented in g-s-d until now, which go a bit beyond the above
description.

When calculating sizes given some size and a fractional logical monitor
scale with precision loss, round the result of the floating point
calculation to the closest integer, as otherwise we might end up with
result smaller by 1 if there was a loss of precision when calculating
the scale.
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
When the logical layout mode is used, allow configuring the scaling to
be non-integer. Supported scales are so far hard coded to include at
most 1, 1.5 and 2, and scales that doesn't result in non-fractional
logical monitor sizes are discarded.
Wayland outputs are set to have scale ceil(actual_scale) meaning well
behaving Wayland clients will provide buffers with buffer scale 2, thus
being scaled down to the fractional scale.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
This commit makes it possible to configure logical monitor scale also
when running on top of an X11 server using Xrandr. An extra property
'requires-globla-scale' is added to the D-Bus API is added to instruct
a configuration application to only allow setting a global logical
monitor scale.
This is needed to let gsd-xsettings use the configured state to set a
XSettings state that respects the explicit monitor configuration.

The guard for handling size differences between keys were broken, it

Only the first output of the first monitor of the primary logical
monitor should be made primary. This fixes an issue where the wrong
logical monitor ended up as primary when the logical state was derived.
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
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
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
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
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.
