This patch does not change anything in the output when command line option for RANDR is not used. Therefore you would get same output as before (without applying patch). And when RANDR is explicitly requested then it outputs correct dimension information. Yes, it hides what is reported by connection block, but the main problem is that this tools is not already used like you said. Users and also scripts expects that they would get correct monitor/output dimension from xdpyinfo and not something which do not match with their physical monitor device. As Giuseppe said, this seems like a good compromise. When no parameter is specified then xdpyinfo reports exactly same data as without this patch. And with this patch which adds support for optional RANDR parameter, then it reports dimensions for each monitor/output correctly. So users would see what they are already expecting and want. -- Pali Rohár pali.ro...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
