While the ScreenRec's notion of size in millimeters would get updates,
the RANDR 1.1 notion wouldn't, so your screen would appear to be square
and probably at some ludicrous DPI.
i.e., don't check for the end of the list by ->name == NULL, since that
won't work now. Fix the consumers of xf86DefaultModes to use the new
explicit size as well.
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.
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.
CVT is enough different from GTF that it should not be used on monitors
that aren't expecting it. This brings us closer to what the spec says
the correct behaviour is.
Before this it was meaningless to try to mark DisplayModeRec tables
const, since the mode name would be emitted as a pointer to an
anonymous string constant, and therefore would have to be fixed up by
ld.so and so couldn't live in .rodata. With this change the standard
mode lists can live in .rodata, and modes duplicated from them will
have their names filled in on the fly.
xf86CrtcRotate() is called by randr 1.2 drivers via xf86CrtcSetMode() or xf86SetDesiredModes()
during ScreenInit() at which point pScrn->pScreen is not set. If a user specifies a rotation
in their config file pScrn->pScreen is dereferenced and boom.
If the originating mode didn't have a name, we would end up with the name of
the original mode being setup correctly, but with the name of the copy still
being NULL.
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.
over to new system.
Need to update documentation and address some remaining vestiges of
old system such as CursorRec structure, fb "offman" structure, and
FontRec privates.
xf86RandR12ScreenSetSize must protect calls to EnableDisableFBAccess with
suitable vtSema checks to avoid invoking driver code while the X server is
inactive.
The multi-crtc cursor code in hw/xfree86/modes holds a reference to the
current cursor. This reference must be correctly ref counted so the cursor
is not freed out from underneath this code.
As a result, we can remove the quirks that existed to flip the bits back around
for us. This is not confirmed in all cases due to lack of bugs containing EDID
blocks associated with the quirks, but is likely true.
Set the new randr crtc of the output before the output change notification is
delivered to the clients.
Remove RROutputSetCrtc as it is not really necessary. All we have to do is set
the output's crtc on RRCrtcNotify
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.
The DDX code was ignoring pending properties for computing when mode setting
was required. This meant that configurations differing only in property
values would not cause the mode to be set.
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.
DRI uses a non-screen block/wakeup handler which will be executed after the
screen block handler finishes. To ensure that the rotation block handler is
executed under the DRI lock, dynamically wrap the screen block handler for
rotation.
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.
