--- Comment #1 from David Edmundson <k...@davidedmundson.co.uk> ---
Detecting the same monitor is a surprisingly hard problem! Several monitors can
have the same serial, and the same monitor can change EDID.
Rules for name match xdg-output's rules:
>each name is unique among all wl_output globals, but if a wl_output global is
>destroyed the same name may be reused later. The names will also remain
>consistent across sessions with the same hardware and software configuration.
Obviously it depends on what your end goal is and how you want to handle setup
changes. The name should work most the time.
There's also a concept of primary/second/tertiary that we use in plasma to
match which wallpaper goes on each desktop. It's a good thing at making
something that's more robust at handling setup changes and migrating content.
I'm not sure if that's exposed to scripting, but it certainly could be.
I'll close the ticket, but I'll watch for replies. If there's anything you
think is missing feel free to reopen it.
