a few problems i found on my rpi's...
1. rpi's retun that they do NO rotations (not even the normal 0 degree
default), so assume 0 degrees if none listed. this makes screen setup
even try and configure things on these kinds of drivers/devices
2. there was a mistmatch of 0, 90, 180, 270 srtyle rotation ints vs
the enum stype ecore drm2 uses. this fixes that so it uses ecore_drm2
considtently as ecore_drm2 expects. this stops output becomeing odd.
3. also seemingly we forgot to set the max mouse region based on res.
re-enable that commented out function.
now i can change res on my rpi3 and rpi4 in wl mode and it works right...
hooray!
so i spent a few days lopening and closing the lids of a few laptops,
plugging and unplugging external screens in, plugging and unplugging
ac power and doing lots of combinations of these. this led to a whole
slew of interrealted issues that were pretty hard to detangle into
just single issues, so this is all one blob.
this fixes:
1. if a lid close gets a monitor unplug from x or e's randr wants to
unplug then this lead to slow unsuspend or lid open times as e was
reconfirguring the screens entireluy on lid open. dont do that. just
keep things as is, unless we have an external display, then reconfigure.
2. we had 2 systems monitoring for a wake. a poller and a systemd
event. this was redundant and lead to interesting things in the debug
output, so clean that up and on systemd systsems use the systemd wake
events
3. some systems dont shut down their screens on lid close, so they
stay open until screensaver timeouts kick in. bad. so also force the
screen to go off on lid close (if the lid screen is the only one we
have).
4. x seems to have a bug where if you force dpms off etc. to turn the
screen on, it still thinks it's of and wont dpms off again after that
until you eother give some input to have the wake event make the dpms
system in x think its now time to go on, or you toggle dpms on and
off, so i found toggling tricks x into thinking the right thing.
this makes some debugging also be consistent with printfs.
all in all i have a pretty well supported laptop doing swimmingly with
e and a not so well designed (acpi dsdt - missing many events like
acpi battery ones, ac power change acpi events, missing logic to power
off a closed screen in firmware or hardware and leaving it to sw...
not this laptop has a tocuh panel and extra fun points awarded since
the touch panel doesnt shut off on lid close... AND it reprots touch
events when it closes as it touches the keys/case... hooray! that has
another work-around local to my system, as efl has no mechanism to do
this).
@fix
So yeah, I've literally used sed to replace every occurrence of
ecore_time_add() with ecore_timer_loop_add() because I'm reasonably
confident that no part of E has a legitimate need for timer based on the
exact current time.
It would be really nice if I'm not wrong. :)
The reason for this is the incredible spew of clock_gettime() calls I'm
seeing on an ARM system (that should have a vdso for gettime, but...)
This can amount to thousands of system calls per second.
#YOLO
this removes the per desktop profile config and replaces it with a
per-screen one that is tied to a specific display so it is far more
logical than per desktop. this allows e to set up different scaling
per screen for apps that use elementary for example via this derived
profile.
this of course is slightly problematic for e itself since it now uses
elm - as this will cause e to go kind-of-crazy with differing profiles
as it fights with itself and elm if 2 screens have different profiles.
this requires elm to be fixed to allow custom profiles per window.
this also currently won't switch profile of a window when you
reconfigure screens.
@feature

some odd things happen with auto-clone, so give the user manual
intervention automatically with the randr conf dilaog coming up on an
unconfigured screen being detected.
@fix
so e has a bit of a problem. we mostly deal with zones, BUt these
zones come from our old xinerama code (this likely should just die
some time) and THIS code gets fed info from e's randr code. we
re-fill/modify as randr finds new screens or things get reconfigured.
thus zones adapt. the problem is now all our zone code really has a
hard time reverse mapping the zone back to where it came from -eg the
randr screen data. you literally can't do a whole bunch of things like
know if that zone was an internal laptop lid or an external screen, or
if it was rotated or even what the dpi is... as you ave no deasy way
to map it back other than by guessing geometry matches.
this fixes that by storing the randr screen id (which should be
unique) fromt he original src randr screen in the xinerama screen and
then in the zone. with this you can do a quick lookup in the e randr
data should you ever need to find the info. this should pave the way
for some other fixes/improvements, but without this they cannot be done.
@fix
fixes case where plugging an external monitor would cause the screen
to expand onto that display without the display being effectively usable
until after a restart
this USED to work until i made things like auto-clone work without
config and so on and that broke turning off closed lid screens. it
also works when i suspend while lid is closed and resume (i can only
test with lid open as i need to open lid to unsuspend).
