It would only allow to alternate between the logical monitors, we actually
want to return NULL here so it can cycle to the whole span of monitors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782032
Instead of checking all MetaMonitors in the monitor manager, we want to
look (as the function name says) in the MetaMonitors contained in the
given logical monitor.
Otherwise, it will return TRUE for every logical monitor, given we are
querying for an existing EDID.

Due to the pen/eraser device separation in X11, CLUTTER_TABLET_DEVICE does

on tablets.

For devices connected via HDMI (supposedly TVs) we want have a
scale factor of 1 if we are *below* the smallest 4k resolution
width (not equal or above) and do the scaling factor computation
if we are above the limit. This check was apparently wrongly
ported from gnome-settings-daemon.
Based of a patch by Caolan McNamara <caolanm@redhat.com>.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777347
We will both create and destroy monitors during initialization (when
using the X11 backend), so don't try to access the monitor manager from
the backend, but store a pointer to it instead.
It's stored in MetaMonitor even though only MetaMonitorTiled uses it,
mostly because it makes more sense to store such a pointer there.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781723
In some circumstances, the origin tile (0, 0) is not the one that
should be used to drive the monitor when using a non-tiled mode. Update
MetaMonitorTiled to support this case. It also seems to be so that the
preferred mode might be some low resolution or bogus mode on these
monitors, so also adapt MetaMonitorTiled to manage to ignore the
preferred mode of a tiled monitor if the preferred mode doesn't use
both tiles.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781723
Only support suggested monitor positioning if the monitor is non-tiled.
Normally this functionality is used by virtual machines to provide a
hint of how to place the virtual monitors, and they don't tend to use
tiled monitors anyway.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The scale calculation doesn't really have anything to do with KMS, and
eventually we'll want to have mutter calculate the monitor scale for
non-KMS backends too, so move the scale calculation to MetaMonitor.

hotplug_mode_update is used (mostly by VMs nowadays, and
VMware has implemented it) to inform that modes list (including
the preferred one) might change after an uevent.
However, when using MetaMonitorConfigManager we should

won't restore the configured values at startup.

Disable-while-typing disables the touchpad while the user is typing.
This patch introduces the necessary backend code to implement the

This is known as dwt in libinput.
This patch has been tested on X11 and Wayland.

g_hash_table_insert() doesn't replace the key. This was a problem
because the key was owned by the value inserted into the hash table, so
when a value was removed, the key was freed, meaning that the key in
the hash table was no pointing to freed memory. Fix this by using
g_hash_table_replace() instead, which work the same except that it
replaces the key with the one passed. This means that the key of a
value in the hash table is always the key owned by the value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The guard for handling size differences between keys were broken, it

An inactive monitor will not be assigned to a logical monitor, so don't
try to match against those. This avoids a dereferencing a NULL when the
main output of an inactive monitor doesn't have an assigned CRTC.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of looking at the GTK+ settings, check the logical monitor
state and determine the UI scaling factor given the maximum logical
monitor scale. This is only enabled when the monitor config manager
feature is enabled, as only then can a scale be explicitly configured.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This adds a function to be used by gnome-shell to get the logical
monitor given a connector name. For now, use the same index integer
method to reference a logical monitor, but this should be revisited by
providing a better API later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The connector returned is the one of the main output. In other words,
for tiled monitors, it is the connector of the (0, 0) tile, and for
non-tiled, it is simply the connector of the output.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The UI scaling depends on whether the framebuffers are scaled. Enable
the caller to determine the what scale its UI should be drawn in, in
relation to the stage coordinate space by calling this function. A new
singal "ui-scaling-factor-changed" is added in order to liston for for
changes.

Window scaling is a clutter feature used to enable automatic scaling of

Derive the logical monitor position not by looking at the main output

This might be the non-main output on certain transformations.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Only the first output of the first monitor of the primary logical

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Make the nested backend emulate how the real backends actually draw,
i.e. by drawing each CRTC separately. This makes it possible to test
different configuration paths that can take place on different
hardware, without having said hardware.
For example, by setting MUTTER_DEBUG_TILED_DUMMY_MONITORS and
MUTTER_DEBUG_NESTED_OFFSCREEN_TRANSFORM to "1", one can test a system
with MST (tiled) monitors where the GPU doesn't support some transform.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add the transform as a logical monitor parameter, both when getting the
current state and applying a new configuration. The transform is defined
to be identical to MetaMonitorTransform.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Adds a <transform> element to <logicalmonitor>. It has two possible sub
elemenst: <rotation> which can be normal, right, left or upside_down,
and <flipped> which can either be true or false.
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
Always draw the stage to an offscreen framebuffer when using the nested
backend, so that we more emulate things more similarly to how it works
real-world, i.e. it'll work the way whether stage views are enabled or
not.
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
Keep track of the logical monitor transform. When a logical monitor is
transformed, all of its monitors are also transformed in the same way.
A logical monitor can either be transformed on the CRTC level, or using
an offscreen intermediate buffer. In both cases will the logical
monitor be transformed, but only in the latter will the view be
transformed.
MetaCrtcs::transform currently does not represent whether the CRTC is
configured to be transformed or not; only when the backend can handle
it does it correctly correspond to the actual CRTC configuration. This
is intended to change with MetaMonitorConfigManager.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732

Instead of using a environment variable, add a new 'experimental
feature' gsetting keyword "monitor-config-manager" that enables the use
of the new MetaMonitorConfigManager. This commit also makes it possible
to switch between the two systems without restarting mutter.
The D-Bus API is disabled when the experimental feature is not enabled,
and clients trying to access it will get a access-denied error in
response. A new property 'IsExperimentalApiEnabled' is added to let the
D-Bus client know whether it is possible to use the experimental API or
not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The logical monitor config array ownership was transferred to the
config object when it was created, but was not unset when the config

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
This gsetting will allow the adding of keywords to a array, where each
keyword may enable an experimental feauter, if the given mutter version
supports that particular experimental feature. Emphasis is put on the
lack of guarantee that any such keyword has any effect. Currently no
keywords are defined.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Make the concept of maximum screen size optional, as it is not
necessarily a thing on all systems (e.g. when using the native backend
and stage views).
The meta_monitor_monitor_get_limits() function is replaced by a
meta_monitor_manager_get_max_screen_size() which fails when no screen
limit is available. Callers and other users of the previous max screen
size fields are updated to deal with the fact that the limit is
optional.
The new D-Bus API is changed to move it to the properties bag, where
its absence means there is no applicable limit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a new D-Bus API that uses the state from GetCurrentState to
configure high level monitors, instead of low level CRTCs and
connectors. So far persistent configuration is not implemented, as
writing to the configuration store is still not supported.
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
We don't want to limit ourself to whole integers for configuration, as
that'd mean it wouldn't be able to provide configurations for
fractional scalings. Thus, change scales to be referred to as floats
instead of ints.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a 'is_underscanning' entry to the properties map, if the monitor
supports underscanning. The client should assume a monitor does not
support underscanning if no property was added.

Add a D-Bus method for getting the current monitor and logical monitor
state. Currently does not contain information about transforms or any
limitations (such as limited CRTCs and cloning).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Let the backends decide whether to just rebuild a derived state, or use
the NULL config to rebuild an empty logical state.
This also changes the expected screen size values of the no-outputs
test; as this case is actually handled now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add support to configure the logical monitor scale. With this, it
becomes possible to override the automatically calculated scaling
number per logical monitor.
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
In some cases the hardware cursor is invisible when Mutter is launched from the
TTY, due to drmModeSetCursor2 failing without a fallback being set.
This patch captures the return value of drmModeSetCursor2 and in case of an
error, enables the texture based fallback. It adds a `broken` state, that is
checked in should_have_hw_cursor() and
meta_cursor_renderer_native_realize_cursor_from_*() to avoid copying every
cursor into a gbm buffer when we know it will fail every single time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770020
Quick motions can come across as too fast (or slow) if it crosses outputs
with different scales. If this happens, rebuild the motion delta applying
the scale that applies to each logical monitor the pointer is crossing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778119
To allow for more natural pointer movements from relative pointer
devices (e.g. mouse, touchpad, tablet tool in relative mode, etc), scale
the relative motion from libinput with the scale of the monitor. In
effect, this means that the pointer movement is twice as fast (physical
movement vs numbers of pixels passed) as before, but it also means that
the same physical movement crosses the distance in a GUI no matter if
it is on a HiDPI monitor or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778119
Clutter's evdev input backend has no support for setting double
click timeout set by gnome-settings-daemon. This results in
touchpad click events timing out on wayland, because the
default timeout value wasn't enough.
This patch moves timeout setting to mutter and removes X11
backend specific setting from clutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771576
The code calculating the output scale involves calculations around pixel
and mm sizes, however we do compare post-transformation pixel sizes to
untransformed mm sizes, which breaks the DPI calculations. Fix this by
transforming back pixel sizes back to untransformed.
While we're at it, actually compare the output height to HIDPI_MIN_HEIGHT
instead of its width, it seems right according to the #define name and
comment.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777687
The mitigation to avoid missing EDID blob was incorrect; the reason it
sometimes failed to read was a race between different applications all
trying to read the EDID at the same time. E.g. gnome-shell as GDM would
at the same time as the session gnome-shell try to read the EDID of the
same connector at the same time, triggering a race in the kernel,
making the blob reading ioctl occationally fail with ENOENT.
Remove this mitigation, as it didn't really mitigate anything; the race
could just as well happen when doing the actual read later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779837
When mutter is paused (i.e. not the DRM master), stop listening on
hotplug events. Instead read the current state and set modes when
resumed.
This avoids a race condition in the drm API which currently only
manages to properly deal with one application querying the EDID state
at the same time when there are multiple mutter instances running at
the same time (e.g. gnome-shell driving gdm at the same time as
gnome-shell as the session instance).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779837
A MetaOutput is a connector, not exactly a monitor or a region on the
stage; for example tiled monitors are split up into multiple outputs,
and for what is used in input settings, that makes no sense. Change
this to use logical monitors instead of outputs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
When no output was specified, the screen limit was used to calculate the
aspect ratio. The screen limit, however, is either just an arbitrary
number if no screen limit is applicable, or a hardware graphics buffer
limit, which has nothing to do with anything actually displayed. Change
it to use the screen size instead, to get something that makes more
sense when no output is found.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Expose via a new API whether the transform on a logical monitor is
handled by the backend. This was previously only exposed only in the
native backend. This will be used to emulate not supporting transforms
in the backend in the nested backend.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Previously, the size of the logical monitor was derived directly from
the tiling information. This works fine until we add transformations,
or set modes with a dimension different from the resulting resolution
when tiled. Fix this by traversing the assigned CRTC rects, as these
are already transformed by the configuration system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
By setting the environment variable MUTTER_DEBUG_TILED_DUMMY_MONITORS
to "1", the dummy MetaMonitorManager backend used when running mutter
nested will create tiled monitors instead of single-output/CRTC
monitors. This makes it possible to test tiled monitor configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Refactor monitor generation by splitting the generation of modes, CRTCs
and outputs into a separate function. A side effect is that each output

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Split up logical monitor cration into derived (when derived from
current underlying configuration) and non-derived (when creating from a

When adding a monitor and all its outputs, don't try to set the logical

No XDnD events which notify DnD status change comes in Wayland. To emulate XDnD

Set up things so that if the INTEL_swap_event extension is not present,

MetaMonitorConfigStore provides an XML storage mechanism for

The new monitor configuration system (MetaMonitorConfigManager) aims to
replace the current MetaMonitorConfig. The main difference between the
two is that MetaMonitorConfigManager works with higher level input
(MetaMonitor, MetaMonitorMode) instead of directly looking at the CRTC
and connector state. It still produces CRTC and connector configuration
later applied by the respective backends.
Other difference the new system aims to introduce is that the
configuration system doesn't manipulate the monitor manager state; that
responsibility is left for the monitor manager to handle (it only
manages configuration and creates CRTC/connector assignments, it
doesn't apply anything).
The new configuration system allows backends to not rely on deriving the
current configuration from the CRTC/connector state, as this may no longer be
possible (i.e. when using KMS and multiple framebuffers).
The MetaMonitorConfigManager system is so far disabled by default, as
it does not yet have all the features of the old system, but eventually
it will replace MetaMonitorConfig which will at that point be removed.
This will make it possible to remove old hacks introduced due to
limitations in the old system.

ordering, make the wl_output have the subpixel order 'unknown' so that
clients don't make assumptions given only a subset of the monitors of
the given region.

Sometimes we hit a race on hot-plug where we try to read the KMS
resources and the EDID blob is not yet ready. This would normally
result in a ENOENT when retrieving the blob. Handle this by retrying
after 50 milliseconds after a hot-plug event. Do this up to 10 times,
and after that give up trying to get the EDID blob and continue with
best effort.

The function meta_monitor_manager_read_current_config() was renamed to
meta_monitor_manager_read_current_state() as it does not read any
configuration, but reads the current state as described by the backend.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
In preparation of replacing the configuration system with one working
with high level monitors instead of low level outputs etc, move
configuarion handling code into obviously named function (containing
the word 'legacy'.

A monitor spec object is meant to be used to identify a certain monitor
on a certain output. The spec is unique per actual monitor and connector,
meaning that a monitor that changes from one connector from another
(e.g. HDMI1 to HDMI2) will not be identified as the same. It is meant
to associate for example a configuration entry with an actual monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a "mode spec" concept, meaning to be used as a identifier for an
actual monitor mode. It consists of details making a mode unique, i.e.
the total resolution and refresh rate. This will later be used to get
the actual monitor mode (set of one or more CRTC modes).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add "monitor modes" abstracting the modes set on a monitor. On normal
monitors, this directly maps to the CRTC modes, but on tiled monitors,
a monitor mode can consist modes per tiled output.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Don't try to mirror the physical dimension, since that's a property of
one of the monitors, not of the logical monitor. Callers are changed to
deal with choosing the monitor to represent the logical monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Don't deal with adding/removing tiled Xrandr monitors in the generic
backend, but leave it to the Xrandr backend. The tiled monitor will
itself notify the backend when such a monitor is added and removed.
Tiled Xrandr monitors are now based no MetaMonitor instead of
MetaLogicalMonitor. This means that mirrored tiled monitors will now be
represented correctly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of using crtcs and outputs to generate logical monitors, use
the ready made monitor abstraction that hides irrelevant things such as
monitor tiling etc.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Generate a set of "monitors" abstracting the physical concepts. Each
monitor is built up of one or more outputs; multiple outputs being
tiled monitors. Logical monitors will later be built from these.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The MetaMonitorMode referred to the mode of a CRTC, and with the future
introduction of a MetaMonitor, theh old name would be confusing.
Instead call it what it is.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add private API for overriding the compositor configuration, i.e. the
compositor type (X11 WM or Wayland compositor) and backend type. This
will make it possible to add a special test backend used by src/tests/.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Put the monitor xinerama index in a separate struct that is attached to
the logical monitor using g_object_set/get_qdata(). Eventually this
should be moved to some "X11 window manager" object, but lets keep it
in MetaScreen until we have such a thing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of storing the logical monitors in an array and having users
either look up them in the array given an index or iterate using
indices, put it in a GList, and use GList iterators when iterating and
alternative API where array indices were previously used.
This allows for more liberty regarding the type of the logical monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Refactor the tiled monitor assembly code (that constructs a logical
monitor out of tiling information. Part of the reason is to move away
from array based storage, part is to make the code easier to follow,
and part is to separate logical monitor construction from list
manipulation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Change meta_monitor_manager_get_logical_monitor_at() to use floats,
replace users of meta_monitor_manager_get_monitor_at_point() to use the
API that returns a logical monitor and remove the now unused function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Move the last piece of monitor grid getter API to the monitor manager
away from MetaScreen. The public facing API are still there, but are
thin wrappers around the MetaMonitorManager API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The method used for getting the current logical monitor (the monitor
where the pointer cursor is currently at) depends on the backend type,
so move that logic to the corresponding backends.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Turning a rectangle into a logical monitor also has nothing to do with
the screen (MetaScreen) so move it to MetaMonitorManager which has that
information.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Let the backend initialize the cursor tracker, and change all call
sites to get the cursor tracker from the backend instead of from the
screen. It wasn't associated with the screen anyway, so the API was
missleading.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This is the current equivalent of looking up the logical monitor in the
logical monitor array using the number, but eventually that will be
deprecated, and before that done differently, so add a temporary helper
for the places that has not been ported yet.
