This commit allows outputs that need a CRTC to steal it from
user-disabled outputs. Note that in the case there are enough
CRTCs, disabled outputs don't loose it (so there's no modeset
and plane initialization needed after DPMS). CRTC allocation
still prefers to keep the old configuration, even if that means
allocating an extra CRTC to a disabled output.
CRTC reallocation now happen when enabling/disabling an output as
well as when trying to modeset. When enabling an output without a
CRTC, we realloc to try to steal a CRTC from a disabled output
(that doesn't really need the CRTC). When disabling an output, we
try to give our CRTC to an output that needs one. Modesetting is
similar to enabling.
A new DRM connector field has been added: `desired_enabled`.
Outputs without CRTCs get automatically disabled. This field keeps
track of the state desired by the user, allowing to automatically
re-enable outputs when a CRTC becomes free.
This required some changes to the allocation algorithm. Previously,
the algorithm tried to keep the previous configuration even if a
new configuration with a better score was possible (it only changed
configuration when the old one didn't work anymore). This is now
changed and the old configuration (still preferred) is only
retained without considering new possibilities when it's perfect
(all outputs have CRTCs).
User-disabled outputs now have `possible_crtcs` set to 0, meaning
they can only retain a previous CRTC (not acquire a new one). The
allocation algorithm has been updated to do not bump the score
when assigning a CRTC to a disabled output.
Layer surfaces are attached to edges of the screen starting with the youngest, causing new ones to always displace existing ones. This changes the order to oldest first, keeping the positions more often.
This commit implements device type discovery by calling two ioctls
(DRM_IOCTL_VERSION and EVIOCGVERSION) on the device. These iocts are
specific to drm and input devices respectively, therefore we can
determine the device type based on which one returns an error.
sx, sy used to store the buffer offset of the drag surface which was
then be added (by rootston) to the drag icon position.
Buffer offsets are handled already in surface_intersect_output
(output.c) so they were added twice for dnd surfaces.
This commit handles better situations in which the number of
connected outputs is greater than the number of available CRTCs.
It'll enable as many outputs as possible, and transfer CRTCs to
outputs that need one on unplug.
This changes CRTC and plane reallocation to happen after scanning
DRM connectors instead of on modeset.
This cleanups CRTCs and planes on unplug to allow them to be
re-used for other outputs.
On modeset, if an output doesn't have a CRTC, the desired mode is
saved and used later when the output gains a CRTC.
Future work includes giving priority to enabled outputs over
disabled ones for CRTC allocation. This requires the compositor to
know about all outputs (even outputs without CRTCs) to properly
modeset outputs enabled in the compositor config file and disable
outputs disabled in the config file.
