Slightly more funky would be to poke around in the CRTC, but that should
require master. As it stands this should help verify that what X is
supplying to the driver matches user expectations

A simple tool just to check if the target Xserver offers dri3.

Once the xserver stops running as root on kms capabable systems, we will need
some other way to access the backlight.
The approach taken in this patch moves most of the heavy lifting to a
helper that runs with root privileges and pipes our requested brightness
into the sysfs backlight interface. Where required, we use pkexec to
launch the helper with the elevated privilege.
v2: Amalgamate much more of the duplicate code.
Keep the daemon and pipe alive for the lifetime of the backlight interface.
Provide an alternative for systems without PolicyKit.

Based on the original implementation (hybrid-screenclone) by
Tomáš Janoušek, and Bumblebee integration by Kevin Puetz.
intel-virtual-output utilizes local VirtualHeads to present a contiguous
desktop to the local display manager, but maps the drawing on those
outputs to the remote display, and provides bidirectional RandR proxy so
that you can resize the remote display and configure it within your
desktop. The remote display should also send hotplug events back to the
local desktop, for reconfiguration on the fly.
Ideally the remote display is a discrete GPU on the same host so that we
can use local Shared Memory transport and avoid sending data over the
wire (though it will work in that setup). Ideally you would have userptr
support to provide zero-copy rendering between the GPUs, or have dma-buf
(in which case you would be using PRIME). For remote rendering, no
compression is done so this fares worse than VNC.
