-1. Introduction
-
-The X Resize, Rotate and Reflect Extension, called RandR for short,
-brings the ability to resize, rotate and reflect the root window of a
-screen. It is based on the X Resize and Rotate Extension as specified
-in the Proceedings of the 2001 Usenix Technical Conference [RANDR].
-
-RandR as implemented and integrated into the X server differs in
-one substantial fashion from the design discussed in that paper: that
-is, RandR 1.0 does not implement the depth switching described in that
-document, and the support described for that in the protocol in that
-document and in the implementation has been removed from the
-protocol described here, as it has been overtaken by events.
-
-These events include:
- ► Modern toolkits (in this case, GTK+ 2.x) have progressed to the point
- of implementing migration between screens of arbitrary depths
- ► The continued advance of Moore's law has made limited amounts of VRAM
- less of an issue, reducing the pressure to implement depth switching
- on laptops or desktop systems
- ► The continued decline of legacy toolkits whose design would have
- required depth switching to support migration
- ► The lack of depth switching implementation experience in the
- intervening time, due to events beyond our control
-
-Additionally, the requirement to support depth switching might
-complicate other re-engineering of the device independent part of the
-X server that is currently being contemplated.
-
-Rather than further delaying RandR's widespread deployment for a feature
-long wanted by the community (resizing of screens, particularly on laptops),
-or the deployment of a protocol design that might be flawed due to lack of
-implementation experience, we decided to remove depth switching from the
-protocol. It may be implemented at a later time if resources and
-interests permit as a revision to the protocol described here, which will
-remain a stable base for applications. The protocol described here has been
-implemented in the main X.org server, and more fully in the hw/kdrive
-implementation in the distribution, which fully implements resizing,
-rotation and reflection.
-
-1.2 Introduction to version 1.2 of the extension
-
-One of the significant limitations found in version 1.1 of the RandR
-protocol was the inability to deal with the Xinerama model where multiple
-monitors display portions of a common underlying screen. In this environment,
-zero or more video outputs are associated with each CRT controller which
-defines both a set of video timings and a 'viewport' within the larger
-screen. This viewport is independent of the overall size of the screen, and
-may be located anywhere within the screen.
-
-The effect is to decouple the reported size of the screen from the size
-presented by each video output, and to permit multiple outputs to present
-information for a single screen.
-
-To extend RandR for this model, we separate out the output, CRTC and screen
-configuration information and permit them to be configured separately. For
-compatibility with the 1.1 version of the protocol, we make the 1.1 requests
-simultaneously affect both the screen and the (presumably sole) CRTC and
-output. The set of available outputs are presented with UTF-8 encoded names
-and may be connected to CRTCs as permitted by the underlying hardware. CRTC
-configuration is now done with full mode information instead of just size
-and refresh rate, and these modes have names. These names also use UTF-8
-encoding. New modes may also be added by the user.
-
-Additional requests and events are provided for this new functionality.

-
-In this picture, the screen is covered (incompletely) by two CRTCs. CRTC1
-is connected to two outputs, A and B. CRTC2 is connected to output C.
-Outputs A and B will present exactly the same region of the screen using
-the same mode line. Output C will present a different (larger) region of
-the screen using a different mode line.
-
-RandR provides information about each available CRTC and output; the
-connection between CRTC and output is under application control, although
-the hardware will probably impose restrictions on the possible
-configurations. The protocol doesn't try to describe these restrictions,
-instead it provides a mechanism to find out what combinations are supported.
-
-For instance, dual-link DVI gangs two CRTC outputs together to provide higher
-bandwidth for large resolution screens. This is exposed in RandR by
-requiring that nothing be connected to the second CRTC when driving a high
-resolution screen on the first.
-
-1.3 Introduction to version 1.3 of the extension
-
-Version 1.3 builds on the changes made with version 1.2 and adds some new
-capabilities without fundmentally changing the extension again. The
-following features are added in this version:
-
- • Projective Transforms. The implementation work for general rotation
- support made it trivial to add full projective transformations. These
- can be used to scale the screen up/down as well as perform projector
- keystone correct or other effects.
-
- • Panning. It was removed with RandR 1.2 because the old semantics didn't
- fit any longer. With RandR 1.3 panning can be specified per crtc.
-
-1.4 Introduction to version 1.4 of the extension
-
-Version 1.4 adds a couple more capabilities to further expose the
-underlying hardware to clients
-
- • Per-crtc pixmaps. This provides for multiple scan-out buffers
- which applications can create and assign to arbitrary collections
- of crtcs.
-
- • Sprite position and image transforms. These provide a projective
- transform for both the hot spot location and the sprite image
- itself for each CRTC.
-
- • RRSetCrtcConfigs request. This supplies a set of
- crtc configurations to the server that must be applied together
- or not at all. This can reduce screen flicker while also
- providing the server a complete configuration for appropriate
- resource management.
-
-The first two additions, per-crtc pixmaps and sprite transforms are
-designed to solve two problems:
-
- 1) Screen transforms. The software transform code in the X server
- uses a shadow frame buffer, adding another copy to every graphics
- operation. Worse, the server has no idea about when clients are
- done drawing a frame, so the user gets additional latency and
- judder.
-
- The goal is to move this operation out to the compositing manager
- which already deals with an extra copy of the frame buffer for
- many operations. Have the compositing manager create and draw to a
- separate pixmap for scanout. It can perform whatever transforms
- are required to get the image in the right orientation for the
- user.
-
- 2) Hardware scanout engine size limits. With a single scanout buffer
- for the entire screen, it's possible for the user to ask for a
- configuration which requires that scanout buffer to be larger than
- the hardware is capable of scanning out from. Again, having the
- compositing manager create a pixmap for each CRTC will allow for
- any configuration where monitor position within the virtual space
- isn't limited by the scanout limits.
-
-In both of these cases, the Sprite transforms are necessary to ensure
-that the sprite appears at the desired spot on each CRTC and with the
-right shape.

-
-2. Screen change model
-
-Screens may change dynamically, either under control of this extension, or
-due to external events. Examples include: monitors being swapped, pressing a
-button to switch from internal display to an external monitor on a laptop,
-or, eventually, the hotplug of a display card entirely on busses such as
-Cardbus or Express Card which permit hot-swap (which will require other work
-in addition to this extension).
-
-Since the screen configuration is dynamic and asynchronous to the client and
-may change at any time RandR provides mechanisms to ensure that your clients
-view is up to date with the configuration possibilities of the moment and
-enforces applications that wish to control the configuration to prove that
-their information is up to date before honoring requests to change the
-screen configuration (by requiring a timestamp on the request).
-
-Interested applications are notified whenever the screen configuration
-changes, providing the current size of the screen and subpixel order (see
-the Render extension [RENDER]), to enable proper rendering of subpixel
-decimated client text to continue, along with a time stamp of the
-configuration change. A client must refresh its knowledge of the screen
-configuration before attempting to change the configuration after a
-notification, or the request will fail.
-
-To avoid multiplicative explosion between orientation, reflection and sizes,
-the sizes are only those sizes in the normal (0) rotation.
-
-Rotation and reflection and how they interact can be confusing. In Randr,
-the coordinate system is rotated in a counter-clockwise direction relative
-to the normal orientation. Reflection is along the window system coordinate
-system, not the physical screen X and Y axis, so that rotation and
-reflection do not interact. The other way to consider reflection is to is
-specified in the "normal" orientation, before rotation, if you find the
-other way confusing.
-
-We expect that most clients and toolkits will be oblivious to changes to the
-screen structure, as they generally use the values in the connections Display
-structure directly. By toolkits updating the values on the fly, we believe
-pop-up menus and other pop up windows will position themselves correctly in
-the face of screen configuration changes (the issue is ensuring that pop-ups
-are visible on the reconfigured screen).
-
- ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
-
-3. Data Types
-
-The subpixel order is shared with the Render extension, and is documented
-there. The only datatype defined is the screen size, defined in the normal
-(0 degree) orientation.
-
- ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
-
-4. Errors
-
-Errors are sent using core X error reports.
-
-Output
- A value for an OUTPUT argument does not name a defined OUTPUT.
-CRTC
- A value for a CRTC argument does not name a defined CRTC.
-Mode
- A value for a MODE argument does not name a defined MODE.
-
- ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
-
-5. Protocol Types
-
-RRCONFIGSTATUS { Success
- InvalidConfigTime
- InvalidTime
- Failed }
-
- A value of type RRCONFIGSTATUS returned when manipulating the output
- configuration or querying information from the server that has some
- time-dependency.
-
- InvalidConfigTime indicates that the supplied configuration
- timestamp does not match the current X server configuration
- timestamp. Usually this means that the output configuration has
- changed since the timestamp was received by the application.
-
- InvalidTime indicates that the supplied output reconfiguration time
- is earlier than the most recent output reconfiguration request.
- Generally this indicates that another application has reconfigured
- the output using a later timestamp.
-
- Failed is returned whenever the operation is unsuccessful for some
- other reason. This generally indicates that the requested output
- configuration is unsupported by the hardware. The goal is to make
- these limitations expressed by the protocol, but when that isn't
- possible it is correct to return this error value. If, as a
- implentor, you find this error code required, please submit the
- hardware constraints that exist so that a future version of the
- extension can correctly capture the configuration constraints in
- your system.
-
-ROTATION { Rotate_0
- Rotate_90
- Rotate_180
- Rotate_270
- Reflect_X
- Reflect_Y }
-
- These values are used both to indicate a set of allowed rotations
- and reflections as well as to indicate a specific rotation and
- reflection combination.

-5.4. Protocol Types added in version 1.4 of the extension
-
-SCANOUTPIXMAPINFO { format: PICTFORMAT
- maxWidth, maxHeight: CARD16
- rotations: SETofROTATION }
-
- 'format' is the format of the pixels within the scanout
- pixmap. Only 'Direct' formats are supported, this will never
- be an 'Indexed' format.
-
- 'maxWidth' and 'maxHeight' define the largest supported
- scanout pixmap. There is no minimum size; scanout pixmaps down
- to 1x1 may be created.
-
- 'rotations' lists the set of rotations which can be provided
- without additional latency or memory usage within the
- environment. This typically means that they are supported
- directly by the hardware. It is expected that a compositing
- manager will perform other transforms as a part of the
- compositing process in conjunction with the sprite transforms
- described in this extension.
-

-CRTCCONFIG { crtc: CRTC

- rotation: ROTATION
- sprite-position-transform: TRANSFORM
- sprite-image-transform: TRANSFORM
- outputs: LISTofOUTPUT
- pixmap: PIXMAP or None
- pixmap-x, pixmap-y: INT16 }
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcSpritePositionTransform, then
- sprite-position-transform is used as in the
- RRSetCrtcSpriteTransform request position-transform parameter.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcSpriteImageTransform, then
- sprite-image-transform is used as in the
- RRSetCrtcSpriteTransform request image-transform parameter.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcPixmap, then 'pixmap' specifies the
- origin of the pixel data to be presented on 'crtc'. If
- 'pixmap' is None, then data will be presented from the screen
- pixmap.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcPixmapPosition, then 'pixmap-x' and
- 'pixmap-y' specify the origin of the scanout data within the
- pixmap, the area from that location to pixmap-x +
- width-of(mode), pixmap-y + height-of(mode) is what will be
- seen on the connected outputs.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcPixmap, then 'pixmap' must specify a
- scanout pixmap as created by RRCreateScanoutPixmap or
- None. Otherwise a Match error results. Furthermore:
-
- * 'pixmap' must be at least as large as the area to be
- scanned out, or a Match error results.
-
- * If 'pixmap' is destroyed while still being used as a
- scanout pixmap, then the associated CRTC will have its
- scanout pixmap set back to None, the CRTC origin set back
- to 0,0 (to make sure it fits) and the screen pixmap width
- and height increased to be at least as big as the current
- CRTC mode.
-
- * Future crtc changes that do not change the scanout pixmap
- will cause an existing scanout pixmap to be resized to be
- large enough to hold the new mode at the then-current
- pixmap-x/pixmap-y location.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcRotation then:
-
- * Any new or existing scanout pixmap must have had the
- specified 'rotation' included as a part of its creation
- parameters, or a Match error results.
-
- * If no scanout pixmap is in use, then the crtc must support
- 'rotation' else a Value error results.

- screen configuration was changed. 'configTimestamp' says when the
- last time the configuration was changed. 'root' is the root of the
- screen the change occurred on, 'window' is window selecting for this
- event. 'size-id' contains the index of the current size.
-
- This event is sent whenever the screen's configuration changes
- or if a new screen configuration becomes available that was
- not available in the past. In this case (config-timestamp in
- the event not being equal to the config-timestamp returned in
- the last call to RRGetScreenInfo), the client MUST call
- RRGetScreenInfo to update its view of possible screen
- configurations to have a correct view of possible screen
- organizations.
-
- Clients which select screen change notification events may be
- sent an event immediately if the screen configuration was
- changed between when they connected to the X server and
- selected for notification. This is to prevent a common race
- that might occur on log-in, where many applications start up
- just at the time when a display manager or log in script might
- be changing the screen size or configuration.
-
- Note that the sizes in this event reflect the new SCREENSIZE and
- thus will appear rotated by the 'rotation' parameter from the sizes
- of the screen itself. In other words, when rotation is 90 or 270,
- widthInPixels in this event will be the same as the height value
- from a ConfigureNotify that reflects the same size change. This
- will probably confuse developers.

-8.1 Events added in version 1.2 of the RandR extension
-
-┌───
- RROutputChangeNotify:
- timestamp: TIMESTAMP time screen was reconfigured
- config-timestamp: TIMESTAMP time available config data was changed
- window: WINDOW window requesting notification
- output: OUTPUT output affected by change
- crtc: CRTC connected CRTC or None
- mode: MODE mode in use on CRTC or None
- connection: CONNECTION connection status
-└───
-
- This event is generated whenever the available output configurations
- have changed and is sent to requesting clients. 'timestamp'
- indicates when the crtc configuration was changed by a client.
- 'config-timestamp' says when the last time the available
- configurations changed. 'root' is the root of the screen the change
- occurred on, 'window' is window selecting for this event. The
- precise change can be detected by examining the new state of the
- system.
-
-┌───
- RROutputPropertyNotify:
- window: WINDOW window requesting notification
- output: OUTPUT output affected by change
- atom: ATOM affected property
- time: TIMESTAMP time property was changed
- subpixel-order: SUBPIXELORDER order of subpixels
- state: { NewValue, Deleted } new property state
-└───
-
- This event is reported to clients selecting RROutputPropertyChange
- on the window and is generated with state NewValue when a property
- of the window is changed using RRChangeOutputProperty even when
- adding zero-length data and when replacing all or part of a property
- with identical data. It is generated with state Deleted when a
- property of the window is deleted using either
- RRDeleteOutputProperty or RRGetOutputProperty. The timestamp
- indicates the server time when the property was changed.
-
-┌───

- width: CARD16 width of new mode
- height: CARD16 height of new mode
-└───
- This event is generated whenever the CRTC configuration is changed
- and sent to requesting clients. 'timestamp' indicates when the
- CRTC configuration was changed. 'window' is window selecting for this
- event. 'mode' is the new mode, or None if the crtc is disabled.
- 'x' and 'y' mark the location in the screen where this CRTC
- is reading data. 'width' and 'height' indicate the size of the
- mode. 'x', 'y, 'width' and 'height' are all zero when 'mode' is None.
-
- This event is sent whenever the monitor's configuration changes
- or if a new monitor configuration becomes available that was
- not available in the past. In this case, the client MUST call
- RRGetCrtcModes to update its view of possible monitor
- configurations to have a correct view of possible monitor
- organizations.
-
- Clients which select monitor change notification events may be
- sent an event immediately if the monitor configuration was
- changed between when they connected to the X server and

-9. Properties
-
-Properties are used for output specific parameters, and for announcing
-static or rarely changing data. Announced data is typically
-immutable. Properties are also used for evaluating new parameters
-before adding them to the RandR protocol.
-
-The following properties are hereby declared official, and drivers SHOULD
-prefix driver specific properties with '_', unless they are planned to be
-added to this specification. List values, that are not declared by the table
-below, and will remain driver specific or are not planned to be added to this
-specification, SHOULD be prefixed with "_" as well in order to avoid name
-space or semantics clashes with future extensions of these values.
-
-Beginning with version 1.3 of the RandR extension, certain properties
-are mandatory and MUST be provided by implementations. Earlier
-versions of the RandR extension MAY provide these properties as well,
-as long as the semantics are not altered. Clients SHOULD fall back
-gracefully to lower version functionality, though, if the driver
-doesn't handle a mandatory property correctly.
-
-9.1 Known properties
-
- "Backlight" aka RR_PROPERTY_BACKLIGHT
- Type: int32
- Flags: -
- Range/List: 0-x (driver specific)
-
- This property controls the brightness on laptop panels and equivalent
- displays with a backlight controller. The driver specific maximum
- value MUST turn the backlight to full brightness, 1 SHOULD turn the
- backlight to minimum brightness, 0 SHOULD turn the backlight off.
-
- "CloneList" aka RR_PROPERTY_CLONE_LIST
- Type: int32 [2*n] / Atom pairs
- Flags: Immutable
- Range/List: 0-
-
- Some combinations of outputs on some cards cannot be served
- independently from each other, because they are wired up to the same
- encoder outputs.
- This property lists all output + signal format pairs that are
- driven together with this output, and thus can only be programmed in
- clone mode with the same CRTC.
- This property MUST be symmetric, but may change with changing signal
- format. I.e. if the property for DVI-1/VGA specifies VGA-1/VGA to be
- cloned, VGA-1/VGA has to list DVI-1/VGA as well.
- Outputs / format pairs listed in this property MUST be included in the
- CompatibilityList.
-
- "CompatibilityList" aka RR_PROPERTY_COMPATIBILITY_LIST
- Type: int32 [2*n] / Atom pairs
- Flags: Immutable
- Range/List: 0-
-
- Some combinations of outputs on some cards cannot be served at all,
- because the according encoder is only capable of driving one output at
- a time.
- This property lists all output + signal format pairs that can be
- driven together with this output. NULL atoms specify any output / any
- signal format, respectively.
- This property MUST be symmetric, but may change with changing signal
- format. I.e. if the property for DVI-1/TMDS specifies VGA-1/VGA to be
- available, VGA-1/VGA has to list DVI-1/TMDS as well.
-
- "ConnectorNumber" aka RR_PROPERTY_CONNECTOR_NUMBER
- Type: int32
- Flags: Immutable, Static
- Range/List: 0-
-
- Outputs that route their signal to the same connector MUST
- have the same connector number. Outputs with the same
- connector number MUST route their signal to the same
- connector, except if it is 0, which indicates unknown
- connectivity. 1 is called the primary connector, 2 the
- secondary. 3 is typically a TV connector, but that is completely
- driver / hardware dependent.
- Outputs with the same connector number SHOULD have the same
- connector type. Meaning and client behavior for mismatching
- connector types is undefined at the moment.
-
- "ConnectorType" aka RR_PROPERTY_CONNECTOR_TYPE
- Type: int32 / Atom
- Flags: Immutable, Static
- Range/List: unknown VGA DVI DVI‐I DVI‐A DVI‐D HDMI Panel
- TV TV-Composite TV-SVideo TV-Component
- TV-SCART TV-C4 DisplayPort
-
- Connector type, as far as known to the driver.
- Values with dashes (TV‐Composite) describe more specific versions of
- the base values (TV). The former SHOULD be used if the connector is
- not capable of producing other signal formats. The later SHOULD be
- used if the exact connector is unknown, or the connector is a
- multi‐format connector that is not described otherwise. DVI, for
- instance, SHOULD be handled like a DVI‐I connector, unless additional
- information is available to the user agent. PANEL describes
- laptop‐internal (normally LVDS) displays. TV, TV‐SCART, TV‐Component,
- and TV‐C4 with signal format VGA are valid combinations and describe
- RGB TV signals.
-
- "EDID" aka RR_PROPERTY_RANDR_EDID
- Type: int8 [n]
- Flags: Immutable
- Range/List: -
-
- Raw EDID data from the device attached to the according
- output. Should include main EDID data and all extension
- blocks. Previously known as EdidData.
-
- "SignalFormat" aka RR_PROPERTY_SIGNAL_FORMAT
- Type: int32 / Atom
- Flags: -
- Range/List: unknown VGA TMDS LVDS Composite Composite-PAL
- Composite-NTSC Composite-SECAM SVideo
- Component DisplayPort
-
- Signal format / physical protocol format that is used for the
- specified output. valid-values lists all possible formats on this
- output, which SHOULD be a subset of the list above and MUST be static.
- Values with dashes (Composite-PAL) describe more specific versions of
- the base values (Composite) and SHOULD be used if known to the driver.
- A driver MAY change this property of an output if the underlying
- hardware indicates a protocol change (e.g. TV formats). Clients are
- allowed to change the signal format in order to select a different
- signal format (e.g. Composite etc.) or physical protocol (e.g. VGA or
- TMDS on DVI-I).
- Laptop panels SHOULD not be detected with this property, but rather by
- ConnectorType.
-
- "SignalProperties" aka RR_PROPERTY_SIGNAL_FORMAT
- Type: int32 [n] / Atom
- Flags: -
- Range/List: For Composite signals:
- NTSC NTSC-M NTSC-J NTSC-N NTSC-4.43 NTSC-film
- PAL PAL-B PAL-G PAL-H PAL-H PAL-I PAL-M PAL-D
- PAL-N PAL-Nc PAL-L PAL-60
- SECAM SECAM-L SECAM-B SECAM-G SECAM-D SECAM-K
- SECAM-H SECAM-K
- For TMDS signals:
- SingleLink DualLink
- For DisplayPort signals:
- Lane1 Lane2 Lane4 LowSpeed HiSpeed
-
- Properties of the signal format that is currently used for the
- specified output. valid-values lists all possible properties on this
- output, which SHOULD be a subset of the list above. It will change if
- SignalFormat changes. Multiple properties are allowed.
- Values with dashes (PAL-B) describe more specific versions of the base
- values (PAL) and SHOULD be used if known to the driver. A driver MAY
- change this property of an output if the underlying hardware indicates
- a signal change (e.g. TV formats). Clients are allowed to change the
- properties in order to select a different signal subformat.

-10. Extension Versioning
-
-The RandR extension was developed in parallel with the implementation
-to ensure the feasibility of various portions of the design. As
-portions of the extension are implemented, the version number of the
-extension has changed to reflect the portions of the standard provided.
-This document describes the version 1.2 of the specification, the
-partial implementations have version numbers less than that. Here's a
-list of what each version provided:
-
- 0.0: This prototype implemented resize and rotation in the
- TinyX server Used approximately the protocol described in
- the Usenix paper. Appeared in the TinyX server in
- XFree86 4.2, but not in the XFree86 main server.
-
- 0.1: Added subpixel order, added an event for subpixel order.
- This version was never checked in to XFree86 CVS.
-
- 1.0: Implements resize, rotation, and reflection. Implemented
- both in the XFree86 main server (size change only at this
- date), and fully (size change, rotation, and reflection)
- in XFree86's TinyX server.
-
- 1.1: Added refresh rates
-
- 1.2: Separate screens from CRTCs and outputs, switch to full VESA
- modes
-
- 1.3: Added cheap version of RRGetScreenResources. Added CRTC
- transformations. Added panning. Added primary outputs.
- Added standard properties.
-
-Compatibility between 0.0 and 1.0 was *NOT* preserved, and 0.0 clients
-will fail against 1.0 servers. The wire encoding op-codes were
-changed for GetScreenInfo to ensure this failure in a relatively
-graceful way. Version 1.1 servers and clients are cross compatible with
-1.0. Version 1.1 is considered to be stable and we intend upward
-compatibility from this point. Version 1.2 offers an extended model of the
-system with multiple output support. Version 1.3 adds a cheap version of
-GetScreenResources to avoid expensive DDC operations, CRTC transformations,
-panning, and the primary output concept. 1.2 and 1.3 are backward-compatible
-with 1.1.
-

-
-11. Relationship with other extensions
-
-Two other extensions have a direct relationship with this extension. This
-section attempts to explain how these three are supposed to work together.
-
-11.1 XFree86-VidModeExtension
-
-XFree86-VidModeExtension changes the configuration of a single monitor
-attached to the screen without changing the configuration of the screen
-itself. It provides the ability to specify new mode lines for the server to
-use along with selecting among existing mode lines. As it uses screen
-numbers instead of window identifiers, it can be used to affect multiple
-monitors in a single-screen Xinerama configuration. However, the association
-between screen numbers and root windows in a multi-Screen environment is not
-defined by the extension. Version 2.0 of this extension added the ability to
-adjust the DAC values in a TrueColor server to modify the brightness curves
-of the display.
-
-All of the utility of this extension is subsumed by RandR version 1.2, RandR
-should be used in preference to XFree86-VidModeExtension where both are
-present.
-
-11.2 Xinerama
-
-Xinerama provides a mechanism for describing the relationship between the
-overall screen display and monitors placed within that area. As such, it
-provides the query functionality of RandR 1.2 without any of the
-configuration functionality. Applications using Xinerama to discover
-monitor geometry can continue to do so, with the caveat that they will not be
-informed of changes when they occur. However, Xinerama configuration data
-will be updated, so applications selecting for RandR notification and
-re-querying the configuration with the Xinerama extension will get updated
-information. It is probably better to view RandR as a superset of Xinerama
-at this point and use it in preference to Xinerama where both are present.

+1. Introduction
+
+The X Resize, Rotate and Reflect Extension, called RandR for short,
+brings the ability to resize, rotate and reflect the root window of a
+screen. It is based on the X Resize and Rotate Extension as specified
+in the Proceedings of the 2001 Usenix Technical Conference [RANDR].
+
+RandR as implemented and integrated into the X server differs in
+one substantial fashion from the design discussed in that paper: that
+is, RandR 1.0 does not implement the depth switching described in that
+document, and the support described for that in the protocol in that
+document and in the implementation has been removed from the
+protocol described here, as it has been overtaken by events.
+
+These events include:
+ ► Modern toolkits (in this case, GTK+ 2.x) have progressed to the point
+ of implementing migration between screens of arbitrary depths
+ ► The continued advance of Moore's law has made limited amounts of VRAM
+ less of an issue, reducing the pressure to implement depth switching
+ on laptops or desktop systems
+ ► The continued decline of legacy toolkits whose design would have
+ required depth switching to support migration
+ ► The lack of depth switching implementation experience in the
+ intervening time, due to events beyond our control
+
+Additionally, the requirement to support depth switching might
+complicate other re-engineering of the device independent part of the
+X server that is currently being contemplated.
+
+Rather than further delaying RandR's widespread deployment for a feature
+long wanted by the community (resizing of screens, particularly on laptops),
+or the deployment of a protocol design that might be flawed due to lack of
+implementation experience, we decided to remove depth switching from the
+protocol. It may be implemented at a later time if resources and
+interests permit as a revision to the protocol described here, which will
+remain a stable base for applications. The protocol described here has been
+implemented in the main X.org server, and more fully in the hw/kdrive
+implementation in the distribution, which fully implements resizing,
+rotation and reflection.
+
+1.2 Introduction to version 1.2 of the extension
+
+One of the significant limitations found in version 1.1 of the RandR
+protocol was the inability to deal with the Xinerama model where multiple
+monitors display portions of a common underlying screen. In this environment,
+zero or more video outputs are associated with each CRT controller which
+defines both a set of video timings and a 'viewport' within the larger
+screen. This viewport is independent of the overall size of the screen, and
+may be located anywhere within the screen.
+
+The effect is to decouple the reported size of the screen from the size
+presented by each video output, and to permit multiple outputs to present
+information for a single screen.
+
+To extend RandR for this model, we separate out the output, CRTC and screen
+configuration information and permit them to be configured separately. For
+compatibility with the 1.1 version of the protocol, we make the 1.1 requests
+simultaneously affect both the screen and the (presumably sole) CRTC and
+output. The set of available outputs are presented with UTF-8 encoded names
+and may be connected to CRTCs as permitted by the underlying hardware. CRTC
+configuration is now done with full mode information instead of just size
+and refresh rate, and these modes have names. These names also use UTF-8
+encoding. New modes may also be added by the user.
+
+Additional requests and events are provided for this new functionality.

+
+In this picture, the screen is covered (incompletely) by two CRTCs. CRTC1
+is connected to two outputs, A and B. CRTC2 is connected to output C.
+Outputs A and B will present exactly the same region of the screen using
+the same mode line. Output C will present a different (larger) region of
+the screen using a different mode line.
+
+RandR provides information about each available CRTC and output; the
+connection between CRTC and output is under application control, although
+the hardware will probably impose restrictions on the possible
+configurations. The protocol doesn't try to describe these restrictions,
+instead it provides a mechanism to find out what combinations are supported.
+
+1.3 Introduction to version 1.3 of the extension
+
+Version 1.3 builds on the changes made with version 1.2 and adds some new
+capabilities without fundmentally changing the extension again. The
+following features are added in this version:
+
+ • Projective Transforms. The implementation work for general rotation
+ support made it trivial to add full projective transformations. These
+ can be used to scale the screen up/down as well as perform projector
+ keystone correct or other effects.
+
+ • Panning. It was removed with RandR 1.2 because the old semantics didn't
+ fit any longer. With RandR 1.3 panning can be specified per crtc.
+
+1.4 Introduction to version 1.4 of the extension
+
+Version 1.4 adds a couple more capabilities to further expose the
+underlying hardware to clients
+
+ • Per-crtc pixmaps. This provides for multiple scan-out buffers
+ which applications can create and assign to arbitrary collections
+ of crtcs.
+
+ • Sprite position and image transforms. These provide a projective
+ transform for both the hot spot location and the sprite image
+ itself for each CRTC.
+
+ • RRSetCrtcConfigs request. This supplies a set of
+ crtc configurations to the server that must be applied together
+ or not at all. This can reduce screen flicker while also
+ providing the server a complete configuration for appropriate
+ resource management.
+
+The first two additions, per-crtc pixmaps and sprite transforms are
+designed to solve two problems:
+
+ 1) Screen transforms. The software transform code in the X server
+ uses a shadow frame buffer, adding another copy to every graphics
+ operation. Worse, the server has no idea about when clients are
+ done drawing a frame, so the user gets additional latency and
+ judder.
+
+ The goal is to move this operation out to the compositing manager
+ which already deals with an extra copy of the frame buffer for
+ many operations. Have the compositing manager create and draw to a
+ separate pixmap for scanout. It can perform whatever transforms
+ are required to get the image in the right orientation for the
+ user.
+
+ 2) Hardware scanout engine size limits. With a single scanout buffer
+ for the entire screen, it's possible for the user to ask for a
+ configuration which requires that scanout buffer to be larger than
+ the hardware is capable of scanning out from. Again, having the
+ compositing manager create a pixmap for each CRTC will allow for
+ any configuration where monitor position within the virtual space
+ isn't limited by the scanout limits.
+
+In both of these cases, the Sprite transforms are necessary to ensure
+that the sprite appears at the desired spot on each CRTC and with the
+right shape.

+
+2. Screen change model
+
+Screens may change dynamically, either under control of this extension, or
+due to external events. Examples include: monitors being swapped, pressing a
+button to switch from internal display to an external monitor on a laptop,
+or, eventually, the hotplug of a display card entirely on busses such as
+Cardbus or Express Card which permit hot-swap (which will require other work
+in addition to this extension).
+
+Since the screen configuration is dynamic and asynchronous to the client and
+may change at any time RandR provides mechanisms to ensure that your clients
+view is up to date with the configuration possibilities of the moment and
+enforces applications that wish to control the configuration to prove that
+their information is up to date before honoring requests to change the
+screen configuration (by requiring a timestamp on the request).
+
+Interested applications are notified whenever the screen configuration
+changes, providing the current size of the screen and subpixel order (see
+the Render extension [RENDER]), to enable proper rendering of subpixel
+decimated client text to continue, along with a time stamp of the
+configuration change. A client must refresh its knowledge of the screen
+configuration before attempting to change the configuration after a
+notification, or the request will fail.
+
+To avoid multiplicative explosion between orientation, reflection and sizes,
+the sizes are only those sizes in the normal (0) rotation.
+
+Rotation and reflection and how they interact can be confusing. In Randr,
+the coordinate system is rotated in a counter-clockwise direction relative
+to the normal orientation. Reflection is along the window system coordinate
+system, not the physical screen X and Y axis, so that rotation and
+reflection do not interact. The other way to consider reflection is to is
+specified in the "normal" orientation, before rotation, if you find the
+other way confusing.
+
+We expect that most clients and toolkits will be oblivious to changes to the
+screen structure, as they generally use the values in the connections Display
+structure directly. By toolkits updating the values on the fly, we believe
+pop-up menus and other pop up windows will position themselves correctly in
+the face of screen configuration changes (the issue is ensuring that pop-ups
+are visible on the reconfigured screen).
+
+ ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
+
+3. Data Types
+
+The subpixel order is shared with the Render extension, and is documented
+there. The only datatype defined is the screen size, defined in the normal
+(0 degree) orientation.
+
+ ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
+
+4. Errors
+
+Errors are sent using core X error reports.
+
+Output
+ A value for an OUTPUT argument does not name a defined OUTPUT.
+CRTC
+ A value for a CRTC argument does not name a defined CRTC.
+Mode
+ A value for a MODE argument does not name a defined MODE.
+
+ ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
+
+5. Protocol Types
+
+RRCONFIGSTATUS { Success
+ InvalidConfigTime
+ InvalidTime
+ Failed }
+
+ A value of type RRCONFIGSTATUS returned when manipulating the output
+ configuration or querying information from the server that has some
+ time-dependency.
+
+ InvalidConfigTime indicates that the supplied configuration
+ timestamp does not match the current X server configuration
+ timestamp. Usually this means that the output configuration has
+ changed since the timestamp was received by the application.
+
+ InvalidTime indicates that the supplied output reconfiguration time
+ is earlier than the most recent output reconfiguration request.
+ Generally this indicates that another application has reconfigured
+ the output using a later timestamp.
+
+ Failed is returned whenever the operation is unsuccessful for some
+ other reason. This generally indicates that the requested output
+ configuration is unsupported by the hardware. The goal is to make
+ these limitations expressed by the protocol, but when that isn't
+ possible it is correct to return this error value. If, as a
+ implentor, you find this error code required, please submit the
+ hardware constraints that exist so that a future version of the
+ extension can correctly capture the configuration constraints in
+ your system.
+
+ROTATION { Rotate_0
+ Rotate_90
+ Rotate_180
+ Rotate_270
+ Reflect_X
+ Reflect_Y }
+
+ These values are used both to indicate a set of allowed rotations
+ and reflections as well as to indicate a specific rotation and
+ reflection combination.

+
+SCANOUTPIXMAPINFO { format: PICTFORMAT
+ maxWidth, maxHeight: CARD16
+ rotations: SETofROTATION }
+
+ 'format' is the format of the pixels within the scanout
+ pixmap. Only 'Direct' formats are supported, this will never
+ be an 'Indexed' format.
+
+ 'maxWidth' and 'maxHeight' define the largest supported
+ scanout pixmap. There is no minimum size; scanout pixmaps down
+ to 1x1 may be created.
+
+ 'rotations' lists the set of rotations which can be provided
+ without additional latency or memory usage within the
+ environment. This typically means that they are supported
+ directly by the hardware. It is expected that a compositing
+ manager will perform other transforms as a part of the
+ compositing process in conjunction with the sprite transforms
+ described in this extension.

+
+ If 'set' includes SetCrtcSpritePositionTransform, then

+ RRSetCrtcSpriteTransform request position-transform parameter.
+
+ If 'set' includes SetCrtcSpriteImageTransform, then
+ sprite-image-transform is used as in the
+ RRSetCrtcSpriteTransform request image-transform parameter.
+
+ If 'set' includes SetCrtcPixmap, then 'pixmap' specifies the
+ origin of the pixel data to be presented on 'crtc'. If
+ 'pixmap' is None, then data will be presented from the screen
+ pixmap.
+
+ If 'set' includes SetCrtcPixmapPosition, then 'pixmap-x' and
+ 'pixmap-y' specify the origin of the scanout data within the
+ pixmap, the area from that location to pixmap-x +
+ width-of(mode), pixmap-y + height-of(mode) is what will be
+ seen on the connected outputs.
+
+ If 'set' includes SetCrtcPixmap, then 'pixmap' must specify a
+ scanout pixmap as created by RRCreateScanoutPixmap or
+ None. Otherwise a Match error results. Furthermore:
+
+ * 'pixmap' must be at least as large as the area to be
+ scanned out, or a Match error results.
+
+ * If 'pixmap' is destroyed while still being used as a
+ scanout pixmap, then the associated CRTC will have its
+ scanout pixmap set back to None, the CRTC origin set back
+ to 0,0 (to make sure it fits) and the screen pixmap width
+ and height increased to be at least as big as the current
+ CRTC mode.
+
+ * Future crtc changes that do not change the scanout pixmap
+ will cause an existing scanout pixmap to be resized to be
+ large enough to hold the new mode at the then-current
+ pixmap-x/pixmap-y location.
+
+ If 'set' includes SetCrtcRotation then:
+
+ * Any new or existing scanout pixmap must have had the
+ specified 'rotation' included as a part of its creation
+ parameters, or a Match error results.
+
+ * If no scanout pixmap is in use, then the crtc must support
+ 'rotation' else a Value error results.

+ will be sent when a the configuration for a CRTC associated with the
+ screen changes, either through this protocol extension or due to

+ 'border_left', 'border_top', 'border_right', and 'border_bottom'
+ define the distances from the CRTC borders that will activate panning

+8. Extension Events
+
+Clients MAY select for ConfigureNotify on the root window to be
+informed of screen changes. This may be advantageous if all your
+client needs to know is the size of the root window, as it avoids
+round trips to set up the extension.
+
+RRScreenChangeNotify is sent if RRSelectInput has requested it
+whenever properties of the screen change, which may be due to external
+factors, such as re-cabling a monitor, etc.
+
+┌───

+ rotation: ROTATION; new rotation

+└───
+ This event is generated whenever the screen configuration is changed
+ and sent to requesting clients. 'timestamp' indicates when the
+ screen configuration was changed. 'configTimestamp' says when the
+ last time the configuration was changed. 'root' is the root of the
+ screen the change occurred on, 'window' is window selecting for this
+ event. 'size-id' contains the index of the current size.
+
+ This event is sent whenever the screen's configuration changes
+ or if a new screen configuration becomes available that was
+ not available in the past. In this case (config-timestamp in
+ the event not being equal to the config-timestamp returned in
+ the last call to RRGetScreenInfo), the client MUST call
+ RRGetScreenInfo to update its view of possible screen
+ configurations to have a correct view of possible screen
+ organizations.
+
+ Clients which select screen change notification events may be
+ sent an event immediately if the screen configuration was
+ changed between when they connected to the X server and
+ selected for notification. This is to prevent a common race
+ that might occur on log-in, where many applications start up
+ just at the time when a display manager or log in script might
+ be changing the screen size or configuration.
+
+ Note that the sizes in this event reflect the new SCREENSIZE and
+ thus will appear rotated by the 'rotation' parameter from the sizes
+ of the screen itself. In other words, when rotation is 90 or 270,
+ widthInPixels in this event will be the same as the height value
+ from a ConfigureNotify that reflects the same size change. This
+ will probably confuse developers.

+9. Properties
+
+Properties are used for output specific parameters, and for announcing
+static or rarely changing data. Announced data is typically
+immutable. Properties are also used for evaluating new parameters
+before adding them to the RandR protocol.
+
+The following properties are hereby declared official, and drivers SHOULD
+prefix driver specific properties with '_', unless they are planned to be
+added to this specification. List values, that are not declared by the table
+below, and will remain driver specific or are not planned to be added to this
+specification, SHOULD be prefixed with "_" as well in order to avoid name
+space or semantics clashes with future extensions of these values.
+
+Beginning with version 1.3 of the RandR extension, certain properties
+are mandatory and MUST be provided by implementations. Earlier
+versions of the RandR extension MAY provide these properties as well,
+as long as the semantics are not altered. Clients SHOULD fall back
+gracefully to lower version functionality, though, if the driver
+doesn't handle a mandatory property correctly.
+
+9.1 Known properties
+
+ "Backlight" aka RR_PROPERTY_BACKLIGHT
+ Type: int32
+ Flags: -
+ Range/List: 0-x (driver specific)
+
+ This property controls the brightness on laptop panels and equivalent
+ displays with a backlight controller. The driver specific maximum
+ value MUST turn the backlight to full brightness, 1 SHOULD turn the
+ backlight to minimum brightness, 0 SHOULD turn the backlight off.
+
+ "CloneList" aka RR_PROPERTY_CLONE_LIST
+ Type: int32 [2*n] / Atom pairs
+ Flags: Immutable
+ Range/List: 0-
+
+ Some combinations of outputs on some cards cannot be served
+ independently from each other, because they are wired up to the same
+ encoder outputs.
+ This property lists all output + signal format pairs that are
+ driven together with this output, and thus can only be programmed in
+ clone mode with the same CRTC.
+ This property MUST be symmetric, but may change with changing signal
+ format. I.e. if the property for DVI-1/VGA specifies VGA-1/VGA to be
+ cloned, VGA-1/VGA has to list DVI-1/VGA as well.
+ Outputs / format pairs listed in this property MUST be included in the
+ CompatibilityList.
+
+ "CompatibilityList" aka RR_PROPERTY_COMPATIBILITY_LIST
+ Type: int32 [2*n] / Atom pairs
+ Flags: Immutable
+ Range/List: 0-
+
+ Some combinations of outputs on some cards cannot be served at all,
+ because the according encoder is only capable of driving one output at
+ a time.
+ This property lists all output + signal format pairs that can be
+ driven together with this output. NULL atoms specify any output / any
+ signal format, respectively.
+ This property MUST be symmetric, but may change with changing signal
+ format. I.e. if the property for DVI-1/TMDS specifies VGA-1/VGA to be
+ available, VGA-1/VGA has to list DVI-1/TMDS as well.
+
+ "ConnectorNumber" aka RR_PROPERTY_CONNECTOR_NUMBER
+ Type: int32
+ Flags: Immutable, Static
+ Range/List: 0-
+
+ Outputs that route their signal to the same connector MUST
+ have the same connector number. Outputs with the same
+ connector number MUST route their signal to the same
+ connector, except if it is 0, which indicates unknown
+ connectivity. 1 is called the primary connector, 2 the
+ secondary. 3 is typically a TV connector, but that is completely
+ driver / hardware dependent.
+ Outputs with the same connector number SHOULD have the same
+ connector type. Meaning and client behavior for mismatching
+ connector types is undefined at the moment.
+
+ "ConnectorType" aka RR_PROPERTY_CONNECTOR_TYPE
+ Type: int32 / Atom
+ Flags: Immutable, Static
+ Range/List: unknown VGA DVI DVI‐I DVI‐A DVI‐D HDMI Panel
+ TV TV-Composite TV-SVideo TV-Component
+ TV-SCART TV-C4 DisplayPort
+
+ Connector type, as far as known to the driver.
+ Values with dashes (TV‐Composite) describe more specific versions of
+ the base values (TV). The former SHOULD be used if the connector is
+ not capable of producing other signal formats. The later SHOULD be
+ used if the exact connector is unknown, or the connector is a
+ multi‐format connector that is not described otherwise. DVI, for
+ instance, SHOULD be handled like a DVI‐I connector, unless additional
+ information is available to the user agent. PANEL describes
+ laptop‐internal (normally LVDS) displays. TV, TV‐SCART, TV‐Component,
+ and TV‐C4 with signal format VGA are valid combinations and describe
+ RGB TV signals.
+
+ "EDID" aka RR_PROPERTY_RANDR_EDID
+ Type: int8 [n]
+ Flags: Immutable
+ Range/List: -
+
+ Raw EDID data from the device attached to the according
+ output. Should include main EDID data and all extension
+ blocks. Previously known as EdidData.
+
+ "SignalFormat" aka RR_PROPERTY_SIGNAL_FORMAT
+ Type: int32 / Atom
+ Flags: -
+ Range/List: unknown VGA TMDS LVDS Composite Composite-PAL
+ Composite-NTSC Composite-SECAM SVideo
+ Component DisplayPort
+
+ Signal format / physical protocol format that is used for the
+ specified output. valid-values lists all possible formats on this
+ output, which SHOULD be a subset of the list above and MUST be static.
+ Values with dashes (Composite-PAL) describe more specific versions of
+ the base values (Composite) and SHOULD be used if known to the driver.
+ A driver MAY change this property of an output if the underlying
+ hardware indicates a protocol change (e.g. TV formats). Clients are
+ allowed to change the signal format in order to select a different
+ signal format (e.g. Composite etc.) or physical protocol (e.g. VGA or
+ TMDS on DVI-I).
+ Laptop panels SHOULD not be detected with this property, but rather by
+ ConnectorType.
+
+ "SignalProperties" aka RR_PROPERTY_SIGNAL_FORMAT
+ Type: int32 [n] / Atom
+ Flags: -
+ Range/List: For Composite signals:
+ NTSC NTSC-M NTSC-J NTSC-N NTSC-4.43 NTSC-film
+ PAL PAL-B PAL-G PAL-H PAL-H PAL-I PAL-M PAL-D
+ PAL-N PAL-Nc PAL-L PAL-60
+ SECAM SECAM-L SECAM-B SECAM-G SECAM-D SECAM-K
+ SECAM-H SECAM-K
+ For TMDS signals:
+ SingleLink DualLink
+ For DisplayPort signals:
+ Lane1 Lane2 Lane4 LowSpeed HiSpeed
+
+ Properties of the signal format that is currently used for the
+ specified output. valid-values lists all possible properties on this
+ output, which SHOULD be a subset of the list above. It will change if
+ SignalFormat changes. Multiple properties are allowed.
+ Values with dashes (PAL-B) describe more specific versions of the base
+ values (PAL) and SHOULD be used if known to the driver. A driver MAY
+ change this property of an output if the underlying hardware indicates
+ a signal change (e.g. TV formats). Clients are allowed to change the
+ properties in order to select a different signal subformat.

+
+10. Extension Versioning
+
+The RandR extension was developed in parallel with the implementation
+to ensure the feasibility of various portions of the design. As
+portions of the extension are implemented, the version number of the
+extension has changed to reflect the portions of the standard provided.
+This document describes the version 1.2 of the specification, the
+partial implementations have version numbers less than that. Here's a
+list of what each version provided:
+
+ 0.0: This prototype implemented resize and rotation in the
+ TinyX server Used approximately the protocol described in
+ the Usenix paper. Appeared in the TinyX server in
+ XFree86 4.2, but not in the XFree86 main server.
+
+ 0.1: Added subpixel order, added an event for subpixel order.
+ This version was never checked in to XFree86 CVS.
+
+ 1.0: Implements resize, rotation, and reflection. Implemented
+ both in the XFree86 main server (size change only at this
+ date), and fully (size change, rotation, and reflection)
+ in XFree86's TinyX server.
+
+ 1.1: Added refresh rates
+
+ 1.2: Separate screens from CRTCs and outputs, switch to full VESA
+ modes
+
+ 1.3: Added cheap version of RRGetScreenResources. Added CRTC
+ transformations. Added panning. Added primary outputs.
+ Added standard properties.
+
+Compatibility between 0.0 and 1.0 was *NOT* preserved, and 0.0 clients
+will fail against 1.0 servers. The wire encoding op-codes were
+changed for GetScreenInfo to ensure this failure in a relatively
+graceful way. Version 1.1 servers and clients are cross compatible with
+1.0. Version 1.1 is considered to be stable and we intend upward
+compatibility from this point. Version 1.2 offers an extended model of the
+system with multiple output support. Version 1.3 adds a cheap version of
+GetScreenResources to avoid expensive DDC operations, CRTC transformations,
+panning, and the primary output concept. 1.2 and 1.3 are backward-compatible
+with 1.1.
+
+ ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
+
+11. Relationship with other extensions
+
+Two other extensions have a direct relationship with this extension. This
+section attempts to explain how these three are supposed to work together.
+
+11.1 XFree86-VidModeExtension
+
+XFree86-VidModeExtension changes the configuration of a single monitor
+attached to the screen without changing the configuration of the screen
+itself. It provides the ability to specify new mode lines for the server to
+use along with selecting among existing mode lines. As it uses screen
+numbers instead of window identifiers, it can be used to affect multiple
+monitors in a single-screen Xinerama configuration. However, the association
+between screen numbers and root windows in a multi-Screen environment is not
+defined by the extension. Version 2.0 of this extension added the ability to
+adjust the DAC values in a TrueColor server to modify the brightness curves
+of the display.
+
+All of the utility of this extension is subsumed by RandR version 1.2, RandR
+should be used in preference to XFree86-VidModeExtension where both are
+present.
+
+11.2 Xinerama
+
+Xinerama provides a mechanism for describing the relationship between the
+overall screen display and monitors placed within that area. As such, it
+provides the query functionality of RandR 1.2 without any of the
+configuration functionality. Applications using Xinerama to discover
+monitor geometry can continue to do so, with the caveat that they will not be
+informed of changes when they occur. However, Xinerama configuration data
+will be updated, so applications selecting for RandR notification and
+re-querying the configuration with the Xinerama extension will get updated
+information. It is probably better to view RandR as a superset of Xinerama
+at this point and use it in preference to Xinerama where both are present.
