+ RRSetOutputPrimary marks 'output' as the primary output for the
+ screen with the same root window as 'window'. This output's CRTC
+ will be sorted to the front of the list in Xinerama and RANDR
+ geometry requests for the benefit of older applications. The
+ default primary output is None, and None is a legal value to pass
+ to RRSetOutputPrimary. This request is expected to be used by
+ desktop environments to mark the screen that should hold the primary
+ menu bar or panel.
+
+ If the named output is not connected to any CRTC, or if the Window
+ and Output are not attached to the same screen, BadMatch is generated.
+ In the latter case, errorValue will be the Window, not the Output.
+
+ As this changes the logical layout of the screen, ConfigureNotify
+ and RRScreenChangeNotify will be generated on the appropriate root
+ window when the primary output is changed by this call. This request
+ also generates RROutputChangeNotify events on the outputs that gained
+ and lost primary status.
+
+ If an output is disconnected asynchronously (eg. due to recabling),
+ the primary status does not change, but RROutputChangeNotify events
+ will be generated if the hardware is capable of detecting this;
+ clients are expected to reconfigure if appropriate.
+
+ If an output is deleted (eg. due to device hotplug), the server will
+ act as though None was passed to RRSetOutputPrimary, including
+ generating the appropriate events.
