I see. From Aaron's clarification I got that the idea is to either not use the output via X (and thus only use X to get the lease), or if it's to be used via X it should be done via the standard RANDR management. Basically, the usage I was thinking of (using the output from within X, but outside of the default X Screen), isn't being contemplated. > X has a long history of having systems designed in advance of their need > and having that make things harder in the future, rather than easier... I'll trust you on that 8-) (Still, I've been fancying the idea of dynamic X Screens for a while now, and the use case I mentioned seemed to fit the bill pretty nicely.) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
