In order to report accurate values to users of the RandR property interface,
it's sometimes necessary to ask the driver to update the value (for example
when backlight brightness changes without the server's knowledge, due to hotkey
events or direct sysfs banging).
This patch wires up the core server code with a new xf86CrtcFuncs callback,
get_property, to allow for this.
The new code is available under the RANDR_13_INTERFACE define, which in turn
depends on the RANDR_12_INTERFACE code.
Yes, two changes in one commit. Sorry 'bout that.
The first change ensures that when pending property values have been
changed, a mode set to the current mode will actually do something, rather
than being identified as a no-op. In addition, the driver no longer needs to
manage the migration of pending to current values, that is handled both
within the xf86 mode setting code (to deal with non-RandR changes) as well
as within the RandR extension itself.
The second change eliminates the two-call Create/AttachScreen stuff that was
done in a failed attempt to create RandR resources before the screen
structures were allocated. Merging these back into the Create function is
cleaner.

I think master and server-1.3-branch are more in sync now.
Pending Properties take effect when the driver says they do, so provide an
API to tell DIX when a property effect is made. Also, allow driver
to reject property values in RRChangeOutputProperty.

Neglected to change the allocation size from sizeof (PropertyRec) to
sizeof (RRPropertyRec). Lots of fun crashes this way.
(cherry picked from commit 0626eb8e5c)
This patch tracks the protocol changes which introduce more complex
semantics for RandR output properties including pending and valid value
information.
(cherry picked from commit af55c65bea)
Add function to keep pointer within valid crtc areas.
Finish event delivery and swapping code.
Separate configuration from layout changes to send correct events.
Provide a Xinerama implementation when DIX version isn't enabled. This
version exposes each crtc as a separate 'screen' and reports the size of
that patch. The extension also sends ConfigureNotify events to the root
window whenever crtcs change so that applications will re-fetch xinerama
information. This actually works for metacity.
