Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: disp_switch 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Henry Zhao 1.3 Date of This Document: 13 August, 2008 4. Technical Description 1. Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: Hot Key Based Display Device Switch (dispswitch) 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Henry Zhao 1.3 Date of This Document: Aug 7, 2008 4. Technical Description 4.1 With the integration of RandR 1.2 into Xorg, it is possible to dynamically add and remove display devices and adjust display modes while X window system is running. However only a command line interface is currently available. Therefore a user needs to type several lengthy commands to add display devices, and possibly another series of commands to adjust the modes for each device. This project allows the use of a "hotkey" to probe for display devices, turn on or off display devices, and in the case of more than one device being turned on, automatically adjust modes to the best shared resolution. This feature is especially useful in applications such as connecting a laptop to a projector. 4.2 dispswitch is an X client application that uses Xrandr library functions XRRGetScreenResources() to gather display output information, XRRGetScreenSizeRange() and XRRSetCrtcConfig() to switch display devices and set modes. Switching is triggered by a predefined key stroke - the "hotkey". If a "hotkey" stroke is 5 seconds or longer after the previous switch, system output configuration is re-probed so that any output configuration changes, such as adding or removing display devices, can be detected and adapted to. When two display devices are turned on, the largest common resolution for both devices will be automatically used. The project allows switching among up to three display outputs with one or two of them being turned on at a time (Currently most graphics hardware supports up to two simultaneous displays). For example, in a system with three devices connected to LCD, VGA and DVI outputs, 6 different states (excluding states of all on and all off) of them will be cycled through with consecutive "hotkey" stroke. Side-by-side views are included in the state cycling when two devices are connected. 4.3 The application works on systems where both X server and driver support RandR (1.2 or above). It will be added to the Gnome's launcher under Preference->Session. 4.4 Two "hotkey" interfaces are provided. 4.4.1 On a laptop, if an ACPI notification interface is connected, and the notification mechanism is operating, then the keyboard defined "display device switch function key" is the "hotkey". The acpi_drv driver catches this "hotkey" ACPI event and generates a sysevent. An application that subscribes for such event with sysevent layer receives ACPI notification on "hotkey" stroke . 4.4.2 Since not all laptops have ACPI notification "hotkey" switch support, on a more general sense, the application allows user to use command line options (-key -mod ) to define a "hotkey" to cover desktops, and laptops where ACPI "hotkey" notification mechanism is not working. The default is "Shift+F5". 4.5 Usage: dispswitch [options] where options are: -display -key -mod -help -nosideview -verbose -testrun -key -mod will let user define "hotkey": is any keysym defined in /usr/X11/include/X11/keysymdef.h, with prefix XK_ removed, such as F5, F8, Escape. is any or combination of modifiers on the system. User can run /usr/X11/bin/xmodmap to find all available modifiers on the system. They can be shift, control, mod1, mod3, mod4, any. Examples: -key Escape -mod shift defines the "hotkey" to be 'shift + Esc' -key F2 -mod "shift+control" defines the "hotkey" to be 'shift + control + F2' -help Prints out a summary of the usage -nosideview Skips side-by-side views in two device cycling. -testrun Switches repeatedly without hotkey strokes -verbose Prints debug messages Imported Interfaces: -------------------- RandR 1.2 Uncommitted (http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR) libsysevent committed Exported Interfaces: -------------------- /usr/X11/bin/dispswitch Uncommitted 5.

Will you need a contract from the ACPI team promising not to change them incompatibly without warning you first? -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith@sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering From Henry.Zhao@sun.com Mon Aug 18 16:29:52 2008 Received: from sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (sunmail4.Singapore.Sun.COM [129.158.71.19]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m7INTpv7014728 for ; Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:29:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (brm-avmta-1.Central.Sun.COM [129.147.4.11]) by sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (8.13.4+Sun/8.13.3/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id m7INTnE7003301 for <@sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com:lsarc-ext@sun.com>; Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:29:51 +0800 (SGT) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com by brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0K5T00905L9OQG00@brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com> for lsarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT lsarc-ext@Sun.COM); Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:29:48 -0600 (MDT) Received: from sca-es-mail-2.sun.com ([192.18.43.133]) by brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0K5T006V8L9OMR30@brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com> for lsarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT lsarc-ext@Sun.COM); Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:29:48 -0600 (MDT) Received: from fe-sfbay-09.sun.com ([192.18.43.129]) by sca-es-mail-2.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m7INTmNv000234 for ; Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:29:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from conversion-daemon.fe-sfbay-09.sun.com by fe-sfbay-09.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-8.04 (built Feb 28 2007)) id <0K5T00601L221U00@fe-sfbay-09.sun.com> (original mail from Henry.Zhao@Sun.COM) for lsarc-ext@Sun.COM (ORCPT lsarc-ext@Sun.COM); Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:29:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [129.153.3.68] by fe-sfbay-09.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-8.04 (built Feb 28 2007)) with ESMTPSA id <0K5T00HHWL9NCW60@fe-sfbay-09.sun.com>; Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:29:47 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:29:47 -0700 From: Henry Zhao Subject: Re: disp_switch [LSARC/2008/519 FastTrack timeout 08/20/2008] In-reply-to: <48A9F516.3040009@sun.com> Sender: Henry.Zhao@sun.com To: Alan Coopersmith Cc: Shi-Ying Irene Huang , lsarc-ext@sun.com, Neal.Pollack@sun.com, David.Chieu@sun.com Message-id: <48AA05EB.9050209@sun.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.4.1.325704 References: <200808140550.m7E5ooQf002720@sac.sfbay.sun.com> <48A9F516.3040009@sun.com> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (X11/20080630) Content-Length: 1205 Status: RO X-Status: $$$$ X-UID: 0000000008 Alan Coopersmith wrote: > >> libsysevent committed >> > > Isn't saying you import libsysevent like saying you use ioctl (i.e. > the interface is a gateway to all sorts of functionality at all sorts > of different stability levels)?

Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: Hot Key Based Display Device Switch (dispswitch) 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Henry Zhao 1.3 Date of This Document: Aug 7, 2008 4. Technical Description 4.1 With the integration of RandR 1.2 into Xorg, it is possible to dynamically add and remove display devices and adjust display modes while X window system is running. However only a command line interface is currently available. Therefore a user needs to type several lengthy commands to add display devices, and possibly another series of commands to adjust the modes for each device. This project allows the use of a "hotkey" to probe for display devices, turn on or off display devices, and in the case of more than one device being turned on, automatically adjust modes to the best shared resolution. This feature is especially useful in applications such as connecting a laptop to a projector. 4.2 dispswitch is an X client application that uses Xrandr library functions XRRGetScreenResources() to gather display output information, XRRGetScreenSizeRange() and XRRSetCrtcConfig() to switch display devices and set modes. Switching is triggered by a predefined key stroke - the "hotkey". If a "hotkey" stroke is 5 seconds or longer after the previous switch, system output configuration is re-probed so that any output configuration changes, such as adding or removing display devices, can be detected and adapted to. When two display devices are turned on, the largest common resolution for both devices will be automatically used. The project allows switching among up to three display outputs with one or two of them being turned on at a time (Currently most graphics hardware supports up to two simultaneous displays). For example, in a system with three devices connected to LCD, VGA and DVI outputs, 6 different states (excluding states of all on and all off) of them will be cycled through with consecutive "hotkey" stroke. Side-by-side views are included in the state cycling when two devices are connected. 4.3 The application works on systems where both X server and driver support RandR (1.2 or above). It will be added to the Gnome's launcher. 4.4 "Hotkey" interface When the project is completed, two "hotkey" interfaces will be provided: ACPI "hotkey" and user defined "hotkey". ACPI "hotkey" uses keyboard defined "display device switch function key". Since not all laptops have ACPI notification support for ACPI "hotkey", we also provide user defined "hotkey". This review only covers the first phase of the project, i.e. the part with user defined "hotkey" interface. The application allows user to use command line options (-key -mod ) to define a "hotkey" that may use for display device switch. This may cover desktops, and laptops where ACPI "hotkey" notification mechanism is not working. The default is "Shift+F5". 4.5 Usage: dispswitch [options] where options are: -display -key -mod -help -nosideview -verbose -testrun -key -mod will let user define "hotkey": is any keysym defined in /usr/X11/include/X11/keysymdef.h, with prefix XK_ removed, such as F5, F8, Escape. is any or combination of modifiers on the system. User can run /usr/X11/bin/xmodmap to find all available modifiers on the system. They can be shift, control, mod1, mod3, mod4, mod5, any. Examples: -key Escape -mod shift defines the "hotkey" to be 'shift + Esc' -key F2 -mod "shift+control" defines the "hotkey" to be 'shift + control + F2' -help Prints out a summary of the usage -nosideview Skips side-by-side views in two device cycling. -testrun Switches repeatedly without hotkey strokes -verbose Prints debug messages Imported Interfaces: -------------------- RandR 1.2 Volatile (http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR) Exported Interfaces: -------------------- /usr/X11/bin/dispswitch Uncommitted 6. Resources and Schedule 6.1. Projected Availability The project is to be available in two phases: 6.1.1 Phase 1: Putback of implementation of user defined "hotkey" interface Aug 2008 6.1.2 Phase 2: Putback of implementation of ACPI "hotkey" interface Oct 2008 6.4.

Hi, all

A bug was filed for this project, requesting that the application should
be shown on GNOME launch menu. The project team thinks it's necessary to
update this case to show the change.

The fix of the bug adds a new interface to the interface table (X86 only).
    

Why x86 only?   Nothing in the first phase of the application is platform
specific - it should work the same on SPARC as on x86 (when using an Xorg
based server that supports Xrandr, which is available for several SPARC
graphics cards and the Sun Ray server now).

No specific reasons other than;

- The need for this is driven by dozens of customer and exec requests
on x86 laptop platforms.

-  The project team is rushing to meet a 2008.11 dealine (build 100)

- The project team does not have physical access to sparc systems with
multiple graphics outputs for testing.

- There have been no inquiries or requests for sparc.

In the interests of meeting the executive and customer requests to get
this into 2008.11 by deadline,  is the group willing to accept a P4 RFE
to add support for sparc 2 builds later?

Sincerely,

Neal

That is between the project team and the C-Team usually. The way we have addressed this type of issue in the past is that the Architecture case applies to all architectures but it is noted in the case that the ARC committee is okay that it is delivered at different times on each architecture. I have no issue with this request and I think it is justified in this case given the requirement is for OpenSolaris 2008.11. The fact that OpenSolaris releases are currently x86 only anyway further justifies phased reintegration for each architecture. -- Darren J Moffat From Alan.Coopersmith@sun.com Tue Sep 9 13:50:34 2008 Received: from sunmail5.uk.sun.com (sunmail5.UK.Sun.COM [129.156.85.165]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m89KoX6J022168 for ;

so I'd like to document the case by adding an interface for both X86 and sparc platforms (although they won't be available at the same time) as follows
gnome-dispswitch.desktop         Volatile                  .desktop file for GNOME

While this interface
/usr/X11/bin/dispswitch Uncommitted
is already available on both platforms

Please correct me if I am incorrect.

Delivering something for only one platform takes more work and more review
and will slow down your delivery, as all our build systems and processes
are organized around building & delivering the same on both, and exceptions
have to be made to do things x86-only.
