Hey, So I've been looking at 4K monitors that require DP MST and present as two screens with some tiling info in the EDID extensions, and I've been taking a look at how to integrate these with gnome.
Just to clear things up, I tried to hide these in the kernel, the side effects were too messy to cover up, and stuff broke in wierd ways, so I've decided to follow Windows and push this up a few levels. So I've built a kernel property to describe tiles, and passed it through X to test, and hacked on mutter 3.10, so a) windows maximize properly b) initial mutter configuration picks a sane config. (cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/mutter - will eventually have it). Now the question is what else needs changing for this, I know I should probably start to target master or least F21 versions and I'll probably get to that, I'm getting the feeling at least, gnome-desktop and gnome-control-center will need work, control-center will probably need design work so the UI doesn't suck for this use-case. I'm just not sure how things like monitors.xml fit in, who writes this file, who reads it, is there some stuff talking over dbus here, does gnome-session-daemon get involved anywhere etc, so pointers/answers etc all appreciated.
