-Version 1.4 adds a couple more capabilities to further expose the

-
- • Sprite position and image transforms. These provide a projective

- 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

for compensating for the overscan behavior of certain

-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.

-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
- 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.

-
- This request returns information about the server support for
- alternate scanout pixmaps. For each pictformat, there is a set
- of rotations and a maximum supported size. The rotations here
- are those provided by the scanout hardware itself, not by
- software emulation.

-
- Creates a pixmap which can subsequently be used as a scanout
- buffer for the screen associated with 'drawable'. 'rotations'

-
- If 'set' includes 'SetScreenPixmapSize', then

- If 'set' includes 'SetScreenCrtcs', then 'configs' includes
