This was in ajax's summary and I just wanted to raise the issues with this before anyone seriously started thinking about it.
1. We should not fail modesetting unless its an extreme situation, we should endeavour to provide the remote client as much information as it requires to pick a set of modes the gpu can actually set. It this is just a workaround for this case then you should fix the randr protocol to allow smarter client situations. 2. multi-seat on a single card - what happens if we give a crtc to each user with outputs partitioned between them? what if a single X server isn't running all the bits of the card, or has them all exposed. I'd be interested in the situations where something like this is actually required, i.e. I'm sure it can allow for smoother mode setting when someone swaps connectors, but thats probably not the common case.
