As someone who hasn't been at the blocker meeting, I find the criterion
confusing and don't understand the terminology. As far as I know, the "dual
head" term is used to describe having two monitors. Not graphics cards,
monitors. That's the first source of my confusion, because the title
doesn't seem to match the criterion text.
Second, what is an "external video output"? Is it some particular
connector? Or an external graphics card?
Third, "dual video cards" (two) is a subset of "multiple video cards"
(many), the phrasing seems weird.
Fourth, is this criterion about graphics cards producing output in general,
or about all output connectors having to work properly? E.g. if a grapics
card 1 can display output on DP1, but not HDMI1 nor HDMI2, is that a
violation?
Fifth, what about graphics cards that share the same output connectors, and
pass through their data? This is common on laptops, you often have two
graphics cards inside (one inside the CPU and one dedicated), but only one
set of connectors. Does this mean that connectors must work ("on each
connected device") or that you must be able to switch between those two
cards (if possible) and the output must work in both cases?
Sixth, why are the blocking desktops required to provide ways to configure
display modes (mirroring, etc) only when you have 2+ graphics cards, but
not when you have just a single card? Again, this seems to mix up multiple
displays vs multiple graphics cards. The phrasing also doesn't say whether
the configuration must work properly, or just be available.
