Feature request : Please support xrandr for screen mirroring. #169

Currently, ᴡᴅꜱ can only be used for screen mirroring : I mean in the case of Xorg that you can’t use the Miracast connected screen to display something differently than the first one. This implies an other thing : for example, if I have crt display limited to 1024×768 then I won’t be able to display 1080p on the 1080p television.

This would be a cool feature but I don't think there's much WDS itself can or at least should do: the OS/desktop should possibly use WDS as just another display (e.g. GNOME display settings should should show a Miracast display as an option).

@jku : if the X server doesn’t support Miracast through Xinerama, there’s no way to make such setting in Gnome. I mean the problem Xrandr must be aware of the technology being used : it‘s the same for ʜᴅᴍɪ for example, (if Xrandr wasn’t compiled with ʜᴅᴍɪ support, then you can’t use ʜᴅᴍɪ).

So currently you can’t do it even programmatically (I mean by calling a function inside a shared object).
