Revert the unused 1.4.0 protocol
This patch reverts: Revert "Make SetCrtcConfigs take flags bits to allow partial configuration changes" This reverts commit 105a161a3f5fb67f5fe7e4119629d424672804aa. Revert "Define new semantics for scanout pixmap destruction." This reverts commit 0d32bb0780db35cec31e423faffa7061ec3e697f. Revert "Fix spelling errors, add description of SCANOUTPIXMAPINFO fields." This reverts commit 3e28d3098faa1a420cd0eb0474b2959cecc8813a. Revert "Add some informative text about the reasons for the PCP and ST bits" This reverts commit ebab32deea654d2ceb0538177e78d8ad48cf2a82. Revert "RandR version 1.4 additions" This reverts commit dd14a2275521b4cc50a588c95cc34cca7db51a91. None of this was ever used in the X server and I think it should probably be addressed in smaller pieces later.

- • Sprite position and image transforms. These provide a projective

- itself for each CRTC.
-
- • RRSetCrtcConfigs request. This supplies a set of
- crtc configurations to the server that must be applied together
- or not at all. This can reduce screen flicker while also
- providing the server a complete configuration for appropriate

for compensating for the overscan behavior of certain

-The first two additions, per-crtc pixmaps and sprite transforms are
-designed to solve two problems:
-
- 1) Screen transforms. The software transform code in the X server
- uses a shadow frame buffer, adding another copy to every graphics
- operation. Worse, the server has no idea about when clients are
- done drawing a frame, so the user gets additional latency and
- judder.
-
- The goal is to move this operation out to the compositing manager
- which already deals with an extra copy of the frame buffer for
- many operations. Have the compositing manager create and draw to a
- separate pixmap for scanout. It can perform whatever transforms
- are required to get the image in the right orientation for the
- user.
-
- 2) Hardware scanout engine size limits. With a single scanout buffer
- for the entire screen, it's possible for the user to ask for a
- configuration which requires that scanout buffer to be larger than
- the hardware is capable of scanning out from. Again, having the
- compositing manager create a pixmap for each CRTC will allow for
- any configuration where monitor position within the virtual space
- isn't limited by the scanout limits.
-
-In both of these cases, the Sprite transforms are necessary to ensure
-that the sprite appears at the desired spot on each CRTC and with the
-right shape.

-SCANOUTPIXMAPINFO { format: PICTFORMAT
- maxWidth, maxHeight: CARD16
- rotations: SETofROTATION }
-
- 'format' is the format of the pixels within the scanout
- pixmap. Only 'Direct' formats are supported, this will never
- be an 'Indexed' format.
-
- 'maxWidth' and 'maxHeight' define the largest supported
- scanout pixmap. There is no minimum size; scanout pixmaps down
- to 1x1 may be created.
-
- 'rotations' lists the set of rotations which can be provided
- without additional latency or memory usage within the
- environment. This typically means that they are supported
- directly by the hardware. It is expected that a compositing
- manager will perform other transforms as a part of the
- compositing process in conjunction with the sprite transforms
- described in this extension.

-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcSpritePositionTransform, then
- sprite-position-transform is used as in the
- RRSetCrtcSpriteTransform request position-transform parameter.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcSpriteImageTransform, then
- sprite-image-transform is used as in the
- RRSetCrtcSpriteTransform request image-transform parameter.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcPixmap, then 'pixmap' specifies the
- origin of the pixel data to be presented on 'crtc'. If
- 'pixmap' is None, then data will be presented from the screen
- pixmap.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcPixmapPosition, then 'pixmap-x' and
- 'pixmap-y' specify the origin of the scanout data within the
- pixmap, the area from that location to pixmap-x +
- width-of(mode), pixmap-y + height-of(mode) is what will be
- seen on the connected outputs.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcPixmap, then 'pixmap' must specify a
- scanout pixmap as created by RRCreateScanoutPixmap or
- None. Otherwise a Match error results. Furthermore:
-
- * 'pixmap' must be at least as large as the area to be
- scanned out, or a Match error results.
-
- * If 'pixmap' is destroyed while still being used as a
- scanout pixmap, then the associated CRTC will have its
- scanout pixmap set back to None, the CRTC origin set back
- to 0,0 (to make sure it fits) and the screen pixmap width
- and height increased to be at least as big as the current
- CRTC mode.
-
- * Future crtc changes that do not change the scanout pixmap
- will cause an existing scanout pixmap to be resized to be
- large enough to hold the new mode at the then-current
- pixmap-x/pixmap-y location.
-
- If 'set' includes SetCrtcRotation then:
-
- * Any new or existing scanout pixmap must have had the
- specified 'rotation' included as a part of its creation
- parameters, or a Match error results.
-
- * If no scanout pixmap is in use, then the crtc must support
- 'rotation' else a Value error results.

- This request returns information about the server support for

- of rotations and a maximum supported size. The rotations here

- Creates a pixmap which can subsequently be used as a scanout
