Should have done this in the first place. Since we're checking for the absence
of the get_crtc callback in the first place, we'll short circuit the later call
and disable the output, so the ugly "continue" block is unnecesary.
By adding a new output callback, ->get_crtc, xf86SetDesiredModes is able to
avoid turning off outputs & CRTCs if the current output<->CRTC mappings are the
same as the desired configuration. This helps avoid flickering displays at
startup time, which speeds things up a little and looks better.
Actually more like in the mainline case, where the ideal mode happens to
be the very first aspect match on the first monitor. But let's not
split hairs.
Old heuristic was to find the first monitor that expressed a preference,
then attempt to get all other monitors to agree. This doesn't work
particularly well when the two sets of modes don't precisely intersect,
you get overlapping-but-not-identical output geometry and things go wrong.
New heuristic is:
- Exact user preference, if given
- Exact output preference, if the same for all outputs
- Best (largest) mode of modes common to all outputs:
- with the same aspect ratio as all outputs (may be NULL)
- with 4:3 aspect ratio
- Then the old heuristic to try to get something lit
Note that it is simply not doable to have a reliable initial output guess if
you insist on trying to clone all outputs together. It's far too easy to
end up with displays that simply don't have modes in common. We need to
switch to right-of placement someday, once we're not limited to CRTC size
limits and we have working multi-GPU in RANDR.
If you don't do this, then Modes "800x600" in the Display subsection will
be dutifully ignored and the driver will start at whatever resolution it
feels like.
Instead of removing the preference bit marking the hardware declared mode
preference, leave it in place and just move the user preferred mode to the
front of the list while marking it with the USERPREF bit which will cause it
to be selected by the initial mode selection code.
A lot of EDID writers apparently end up stuffing centimeters (like the
maximum image size field) into the detailed timings, instead of millimeters.
Some of them only get it wrong in one direction. Also, add a quirk to let
us mark the largest 75hz mode as preferred, which will often be used for
EDID 1.0 CRTs.
When the PreferredMode option is selected in the config file, remove the
M_T_PREFERRED bit from all other preferred modes to force the config file
mode to be selected.
Code that disabled mode detection on disabled outputs would confuse
applications by listing said outputs as connected but without any modes.
This makes the disabled state in the config file affect only the initial
configuration and not subsequent modifications by RandR.
I made a mistake in some new code using MakeAtom, passing the size of the
string instead of the length of the string. Figuring there might be other
such mistakes, I reviewed the server code and found four bugs of the same
form.
at server startup, and not against the virtual X/Y parameters
as they can change.
This fixes an issue when canGrow is TRUE and modes get dropped
when using the virtual X/Y parameters.
Leaving devices enabled during server startup can cause problems during the
initial mode setting in the server, especially when they are used for
different purposes by the X server than by the BIOS. Disabling all of them
before any mode setting is attempted provides a stable base upon which the
remaining mode setting operations can be built.
Option "Enable" "True" will force the server to enable an output at startup
time, even if the output is not connected. This also causes the default
modes to be added for this output, allowing even sync ranges to be used to
pick out standard modes.

By default, use the screen monitor section for output 0, however, a driver
can change which output gets the screen monitor by calling
xf86OutputUseScreenMonitor.
(cherry picked from commit f4a8e54caf)
xf86SetSingleMode tries to resize all crtcs to match the selected mode. When
a CRTC has no matching mode, it now disables the CRTC (instead of crashing).
Also, poke the RandR extension when xf86SetSingleMode is done so that
appropriate events can be delivered, and so that future RandR queries return
correct information.
(cherry picked from commit dc6c4f6989)
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.

The rotation state is stored in the xf86_config structure which is not
re-initialized at server reset time. Clean it up at CloseScreen time.
(cherry picked from commit f8db7665dc)
Previous version used monitor identifiers if present, otherwise output
names. That caused existing working configurations to break when additional
information was added to the configuration file.
(cherry picked from commit 3f5cedf00a)
xf86SetDesiredModes applies the desired modes to each crtc (as selected by
xf86InitialConfiguration initially and modified by successful mode settings
afterwards). For crtcs without a desired mode, pScrn->currentMode is used to
select something workable.
