GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 750363
Enhance the experience of running mutter/wayland in a VM
Last modified: 2015-06-03 20:53:02 UTC
This is a place-holder bug for patches bringing the mutter native backend up to par with the x11 backend when it comes to responding to virtual machine monitor layout hints. This include the following: a) Make sure preferred modes are correctly read from drm. Currently the kms/native backend uses the first mode whereas it should probably use the first preferred mode if preferred modes are available. Would fix small initial screen size on VMware. b) Read and transfer the connector hotplug_mode_update property to the meta layer. c) Read and transfer the connector suggested_X and suggested_Y properties to the meta layer. b) and c) would help enable automatic mutter/wayland screen-size and monitor layout adjustments. d) Add the missing connector names from the drm headers. Patches will follow.

Thanks for the patches! They all look good, so I pushed them.
