for compensating for the overscan behavior of certain
televisions.
+Version 1.4 adds a new object called a provider object. A provider object
+represents a GPU or virtual device providing services to the X server.
+Providers have a set of abilities and a set of possible roles.
+
+Provider objects are used to control multi-GPU systems. Provider roles can
+be dynamically configured to provide support for:
+
+ 1) Output slaving: plug in a USB device, but have its output rendered
+ using the main GPU. On some dual-GPU laptops, the second GPU isn't
+ connected to the LVDS panel, so we need to use the first GPU as an output
+ slave for the second GPU.
+
+ 2) offload - For dual-GPU laptops, allow direct rendered applications to be run
+ on the second GPU and display on the first GPU.
+
+ 3) GPU switching - Allow switching between two GPUs as the main screen
+ renderer.
+
+ 4) multiple GPU rendering - This replaces Xinerama.

+ Errors: Alloc, Atom, Match, Value, Provider
+
+ This request alters the value of the property for the specified
+ provider. If the property is marked as a 'pending' property, only the
+ pending value of the property is changed. Otherwise, changes are
+ reflected in both the pending and current values of the property.
+ The type is uninterpreted by the server. The format specifies
+ whether the data should be viewed as a list of 8-bit, 16-bit, or
+ 32-bit quantities so that the server can correctly byte-swap as
+ necessary.
+
+ If the mode is Replace, the previous property value is discarded.
+ If the mode is Prepend or Append, then the type and format must
+ match the existing property value (or a Match error results). If
+ the property is undefined, it is treated as defined with the correct
+ type and format with zero-length data.
+
+ For Prepend, the data is tacked on to the beginning of the existing
+ data, and for Append, it is tacked on to the end of the existing data.

+ If the specified property does not exist for the specified provider,

+ and the value is empty. The delete argument is ignored in this
+ case.
+
+ If the specified property exists but its type does not match the

+ property, the format is the actual format of the property (never
+ zero), the bytes-after is the length of the property in bytes (even
+ if the format is 16 or 32), and the value is empty. The delete
+ argument is ignored in this case.
+
+ If the specified property exists and either AnyPropertyType is
+ specified or the specified type matches the actual type of the
+ property, then the return type is the actual type of the property,
+ the format is the actual format of the property (never zero), and
+ the bytes-after and value are as follows, given:
+
+ N = actual length of the stored property in bytes
+ (even if the format is 16 or 32)
+ I = 4 × offset
+ T = N - I
+ L = MINIMUM(T, 4 × long-length)
+ A = N - (I + L)
+
+ If 'pending' is true, and if the property holds a pending value,
+ then the value returned will be the pending value of the property
+ rather than the current value. The returned value starts at byte
+ index I in the property (indexing from 0), and its length in bytes
+ is L. However, it is a Value error if long-offset is given such
+ that L is negative. The value of bytes-after is A, giving the
+ number of trailing unread bytes in the stored property. If delete
+ is True and the bytes-after is zero, the property is also deleted
+ from the provider, and a RRProviderPropertyNotify event is generated.
