Hi, not the "same-as" directive specifically, because it is reserved for shared-CRTC cloning where the main feature is that the cloned outputs' timings are guaranteed to be synchronized in hardware. We need a new directive, "clone-of", or whatever, to denote independent outputs (meaning independent timings, pixel format, etc.) scanning out the same area of the desktop. The reason why that still has not been implemented is libweston's damage tracking framework. It needs to be re-designed, because currently it simply cannot have overlapping outputs - damage would be cleared too early when just the random first output repaints, leaving other overlapping outputs showing randomly old content. Another way could be to use the vaapi-recorder code paths and feed that video stream to a transmitter - or to pipewire, if the buffer reservation/release convetions allow (a real DRM output probably has only few buffers available, so the transmitter cannot keep a hold of very many at the same time). Another disadvantage is that the buffer domain, pixel format and modifier must be scanout-able, which may not be optimal or suitable for e.g. hardware video encoders. However, vaapi-recorder works, so it can obviously work at least on Intel. Thanks, pq
