Marking "leasable" an output using "non-desktop" can remove the need to
have a "lease" option in the config file. I see this working nicely
with HMDs. "non-desktop" property can also remove the need to iterate
over all connected connectors and request a lease (or at least the need
to talk to weston). The client still needs to go over each connectors
but this time, it requests the lease directly.
On the other hand for Auto, the EDID quirk might not be available so
we still need a method which can tell (hint) which output can be
leased. The configuration file allows a way to control that. (i.e,
in under no circumstance I want this output to be disabled/leased)
Can a combination of both be more suitable to fit both use-cases?
- Mark "leasable" any "non-desktop" property but also the ones found in
configuration file.
- For the client, if it finds a "non-desktop" property for that
connector it can use it directly, other-wise fall-backs to request a
lease for each connected connector.
