Do any Wayland compositors implement virtual monitor features? #181

Open robertkirkman opened 1 year ago

robertkirkman commented 1 year ago

Some X11 window managers (AFAIK only openbox and marco) support the xrandr --setmonitor command, which makes the following possible (while perfectly preserving all OpenGL, Vulkan and Glamor DRM GPU acceleration functionality for Intel and AMD GPUs) on all systems using Xorg + openbox:

A basic example of using this functionality is on the Arch Wiki.

As far as I have been able to tell, no currently existing Wayland compositor has had either of these features added to it. Could this be added to the "Missing" list, or is there a counterexample?

The "window" concept from X11 does not technically apply to Wayland, so in this context I mean the closest direct Wayland equivalent, "toplevels".
