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.

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.

RRSELECTMASK { RRScreenChangeNotifyMask
	       RRCrtcChangeNotifyMask (New in version 1.2)
	       RROutputChangeNotifyMask (New in version 1.2)
	       RROutputPropertyNotifyMask (New in version 1.2) }

SIZEID { CARD16 }

MODE { XID or None }

CRTC { XID }

OUTPUT { XID }

CONNECTION { Connected, Disconnected, UnknownConnection }

	This value provides an indication of whether an output is actually
	connected to a monitor or other presentation device.

SUBPIXELORDER { SubPixelUnknown		The subpixel order uses the Render
		SubPixelHorizontalRGB	extensions definitions; they are here
		SubPixelHorizontalBGR	only for convenience.
		SubPixelVerticalRGB
		SubPixelVerticalBGR
		SubPixelNone }

7. Extension Requests

┌───
    RRSelectInput
	window: WINDOW
	enable: SETofRRSELECTMASK
└───
	Errors: Window, Value

	If 'enable' is RRScreenChangeNotifyMask, RRScreenChangeNotify events
	will be sent when the screen configuration changes, either from
	this protocol extension, or due to detected external screen
	configuration changes. RRScreenChangeNotify may also be sent when
	this request executes if the screen configuration has changed since
	the client connected, to avoid race conditions.

	New for version 1.2:

	If 'enable' contains RRCrtcChangeMask, RRCrtcChangeNotify events
	will be sent when a the configuration for a CRTC associated with the
	screen changes, either through this protocol extension or due to
	detected external changes. RRCrtcChangeNotify may also be sent when
	this request executes if the CRTC configuration has changed since
	the client connected, to avoid race conditions.

	If 'enable' contains RROutputChangeMask, RROutputChangeNotify events
	will be sent when a the configuration for an output associated with
	the screen changes, either through this protocol extension or due to
	detected external changes. RROutputChangeNotify may also be sent
	when this request executes if the output configuration has changed
	since the client connected, to avoid race conditions.

	If 'enable' contains RROutputPropertyNotifyMask,
	RROutputPropertyNotify events will be sent when properties change on
	this output.

	If 'timestamp' is less than the time when the configuration was last
	successfully set, the request is ignored and InvalidTime returned in
	status.

	If 'config-timestamp' is not equal to when the server's screen
	configurations last changed, the request is ignored and
	InvalidConfigTime returned in status. This could occur if the
	screen changed since you last made a RRGetScreenInfo request,
	perhaps by a different piece of display hardware being installed.
	Rather than allowing an incorrect call to be executed based on stale
	data, the server will ignore the request.

	'rate' contains the desired refresh rate. If it is zero, the server
	selects an appropriate rate.

	This request may fail for other indeterminate reasons, in which case
	'status' will be set to Failed and no configuration change will be
	made.

	This request sets the screen to the specified size, rate, rotation
	and reflection.

	When this request succeeds, 'status' contains Success and the
	requested changes to configuration will have been made.

	'new-time-stamp' contains the time at which this request was
	executed.

	'config-timestamp' contains the time when the possible screen
	configurations were last changed.

	'root' contains the root window for the screen indicated by the
	window.

	'root' is the root window of the screen.

	'config-timestamp' indicates when the screen configuration
	information last changed: requests to set the screen will fail
	unless the timestamp indicates that the information the client
	is using is up to date, to ensure clients can be well behaved
	in the face of race conditions.

	'timestamp' indicates when the configuration was last set.

	'size-id' indicates which size is active.

	'rate' is the current refresh rate. This is zero when the refresh
	rate is unknown or on devices for which refresh is not relevant.

	'sizes' is the list of possible frame buffer sizes (at the normal
	orientation. Each size indicates both the linear physical size of
	the screen and the pixel size.

	'refresh' is the list of refresh rates for each size. Each element
	of 'sizes' has a corresponding element in 'refresh'. An empty list
	indicates no known rates, or a device for which refresh is not
	relevant.

	The default size of the screen (the size that would become the
	current size when the server resets) is the first size in the
	list.

7.1. Extension Requests added in version 1.2 of the extension

As introduced above, version 1.2 of the extension splits the screen size
from the crtc and output configuration, permitting the subset of the screen
presented by multiple outputs to be configured. As a separate notion, the
size of the screen itself may be arbitrarily configured within a defined
range. As crtcs and outputs are added and removed from the system, the set
returned by the extension will change so that applications can detect
dynamic changes in the display environment.

┌───
    RRGetScreenSizeRange
	window: WINDOW
      ▶
	CARD16	minWidth, minHeight

	width: CARD16
	height: CARD16
	width-in-millimeters: CARD32
	height-in-millimeters: CARD32
└───
	Errors: Window, Match, Value

	Sets the screen to the specified size. 'width' and 'height' must be
	within the range allowed by GetScreenSizeRanges, otherwise a Value
	error results. All active monitors must be configured to display a
	subset of the specified size, else a Match error results.

	'width-in-millimeters' and 'height-in-millimeters' can be set to
	reflect the physical size of the screen reported both through this
	extension and the core protocol. They must be non-zero, or Value
	error results.

	If panning is enabled, the width and height of the panning and the
	tracking areas are adapted to the new size and clamped afterwards.
	Disabled panning axes remain disabled.
	Panning borders are disabled if their requirements are no longer met
	(see RRSetPanning).

	RRGetScreenResources returns the list of outputs and crtcs connected
	to the screen associated with 'window'.

	'timestamp' indicates when the configuration was last set.

	'config-timestamp' indicates when the configuration information last
	changed. Requests to configure the output will fail unless the
	timestamp indicates that the information the client is using is up
	to date, to ensure clients can be well behaved in the face of race
	conditions.

	'crtcs' contains the list of CRTCs associated with the screen.

	'outputs' contains the list of outputs associated with the screen.

	'modes' contains the list of modes associated with the screen

	This request explicitly asks the server to ensure that the
	configuration data is up-to-date wrt the hardware. If that requires
	polling, this is when such polling would take place.  If the
	current configuration is all that's required, use
	RRGetScreenResourcesCurrent instead.

	'timestamp' indicates when the configuration was last set.

	'crtc' is the current source CRTC for video data, or Disabled if the
	output is not connected to any CRTC.

	'name' is a UTF-8 encoded string designed to be presented to the
	user to indicate which output this is. E.g. "S-Video" or "DVI".

	'connection' indicates whether the hardware was able to detect a
	device connected to this output. If the hardware cannot determine
	whether something is connected, it will set this to
	UnknownConnection.

	'subpixel-order' contains the resulting subpixel order of the
	connected device to allow correct subpixel rendering.

	'widthInMillimeters' and 'heightInMillimeters' report the physical
	size of the displayed area. If unknown, or not really fixed (e.g.,
	for a projector), these	values are both zero.

	'crtcs' is the list of CRTCs that this output may be connected to.
	Attempting to connect this output to a different CRTC results in a
	Match error.

	'clones' is the list of outputs which may be simultaneously
	connected to the same CRTC along with this output. Attempting to
	connect this output with an output not in the 'clones' list
	results in a Match error.

	'modes' is the list of modes supported by this output. Attempting to
	connect this output to a CRTC not using one of these modes results
	in a Match error.

	The first 'num-preferred' modes in 'modes' are preferred by the
	monitor in some way; for fixed-pixel devices, this would generally
	indicate which modes match the resolution of the output device.

	This request alters the value of the property for the specified
	output. If the property is marked as a 'pending' property, only the
	pending value of the property is changed. Otherwise, changes are
	reflected in both the pending and current values of the property.
	The type is uninterpreted by the server.  The format specifies
	whether the data should be viewed as a list of 8-bit, 16-bit, or
	32-bit quantities so that the server can correctly byte-swap as
	necessary.

	If the mode is Replace, the previous property value is discarded.
	If the mode is Prepend or Append, then the type and format must
	match the existing property value (or a Match error results).  If
	the property is undefined, it is treated as defined with the correct
	type and format with zero-length data.

	For Prepend, the data is tacked on to the beginning of the existing
	data, and for Append, it is tacked on to the end of the existing data.

	This request generates a OutputPropertyNotify

	The lifetime of a property is not tied to the storing client.
	Properties remain until explicitly deleted, until the output is
	destroyed, or until server reset (see section 10).

	argument is ignored in this case.

	If the specified property exists and either AnyPropertyType is
	specified or the specified type matches the actual type of the
	property, then the return type is the actual type of the property,
	the format is the actual format of the property (never zero), and
	the bytes-after and value are as follows, given:

		N = actual length of the stored property in bytes
				  (even if the format is 16 or 32)
		I = 4 × offset
		T = N - I
		L = MINIMUM(T, 4 × long-length)
		A = N - (I + L)

	If 'pending' is true, and if the property holds a pending value,
	then the value returned will be the pending value of the property
	rather than the current value.  The returned value starts at byte
	index I in the property (indexing from 0), and its length in bytes
	is L.  However, it is a Value error if long-offset is given such
	that L is negative.  The value of bytes-after is A, giving the
	number of trailing unread bytes in the stored property.  If delete
	is True and the bytes-after is zero, the property is also deleted
	from the output, and a RROutputPropertyNotify event is generated.

	RRGetScreenResourcesCurrent returns the list of outputs and crtcs
	connected to the screen associated with 'window'.

	'timestamp' indicates when the configuration was last set.

	'config-timestamp' indicates when the configuration information last
	changed. Requests to configure the output will fail unless the
	timestamp indicates that the information the client is using is up
	to date, to ensure clients can be well behaved in the face of race
	conditions.

	'crtcs' contains the list of CRTCs associated with the screen.

	'outputs' contains the list of outputs associated with the screen.

	'modes' contains the list of modes associated with the screen.

└───
	Errors: Crtc, Match

	This request provides a mechanism that is more general than the
	existing rotation and reflection values for describing the
	transformation from frame buffer image to crtc presentation.
	'transform' is a full 2D projective transformation from screen
	coordinate space to crtc coordinate space. This transformation is
	applied before the rotation and reflection values to compute the
	complete transform.

	'filter' and 'values' specify a Render filter that may be used by the
	server when transforming data from frame buffer to crtc.

	This request sets the transform to be used at the next
	RRSetCrtcConfig request execution; it does not cause any change to
	occur in the current configuration.

	When a non-identity transformation is in use, the rectangle returned
	by RRGetCrtcInfo defines the bounding rectangle of the screen that is
	projected to the crtc. It is this projected rectangle which must be
	within the area of the screen when the mode is set.

	width or 0, and 'left'+'width' must be within the screen size, else a
	Match error results.  Equivalent restrictions for the height exist.
	'width' or 'height' set to 0 indicate that panning should be disabled

	panning).  If the borders are positive, the screen will pan when the
	pointer gets close to the CRTC borders, if they are negative, the
	screen will only pan when the pointer is already way past the CRTC
	borders.  Negative values might confuse users and disable panning to
	the very edges of the screen.  Thus they are discouraged.
	border_left + border_right has to be lower or equal than the CRTC's
	width, else a Match error results.  An equivalent restriction for the
	height exists.

	Screen size changes update the panning and the tracking areas to the

└───
	Errors: Match, Output, Window

	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.

	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.

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.

┌───
    RRScreenChangeNotify

	rotation: ROTATION;		new rotation
	sequenceNumber: CARD16		low 16 bits of request seq. number
	timestamp: TIMESTAMP		time screen was changed

	heightInPixels: CARD16		height in pixels of the new SCREENSIZE
	widthInMillimeters: CARD16	width in mm of the new SCREENSIZE
	heightInMillimeters: CARD16	height in mm of the new SCREENSIZE
└───
	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.

	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

	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

	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
	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 monitor size or configuration.

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

				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.

	An output mode specifies the complete CRTC timings for
	a specific mode. The vertical and horizontal synchronization rates
	can be computed given the dot clock and the h total/v total
	values. If the dot clock is zero, then all of the timing
	parameters and flags are not used, and must be zero as this
	indicates that the timings are unknown or otherwise unused.
	The name itself will be encoded separately in each usage.
