There was a time when setting a mode on a CRTC would not depend on the associated connector's state. If a mode had been set successfully once, it would mean it would work later on. This changed with the introduction of new connectors type that now require a link training sequence (DP, HDMI 2.0), and that means that some events may have happened while the X server was not master that would then prevent the mode from successfully be restored to its previous state. This patch relaxes the requirement that all modes should be restored on EnterVT, or the entire X-Server would go down by allowing modesets to fail (with some warnings). If a modeset fails, the CRTC will be disabled, and a RandR event will be sent for the desktop environment to fix the situation as well as possible. Additional patches might be needed to make sure that the user would never be left with all screens black in some scenarios. v2 (Martin Peres): - whitespace fixes - remove the uevent handling (it is done in a previous patch) - improve the commit message - reduce the size of the patch by not changing lines needlessly - return FALSE if one modeset fails in ignore mode - add comments/todos to explain why we do things - disable the CRTCs that failed the modeset Signed-off-by: Kishore Kadiyala <kishore.kadiyala@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Peres <martin.peres@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Tested-by: Kishore Kadiyala <kishore.kadiyala@intel.com> Closes: #1010 |

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
