Whether or not we want to use explicit modifiers for our surfaces doesn't
matter for what format+modifiers drm planes support. This way direct scanout
works by default, without having to explicitly enable modifiers
When we switch CRTCs it can happen that a CRTC would stay enabled yet has
no connectors anymore. In this case the kernel may reject our atomic commit,
which would cause the modeset to fail. To counteract that, properly disable
unused drm objects
Currently KWin is combining modesets with presentation, which causes problems
when multiple monitors are used and crtcs need to be switched around, because
taking away a CRTC from another output causes the driver to disable the
other output. In order to avoid such problems, delay presentation until
all pipelines are ready to present and then do a modeset with a single atomic
commit. To process the resulting page flip events properly this commit also
ports KWin to page_flip_handler2 and changes how the pageFlipped and
notifyFrameFailed signals are processed.
This improves file organization in kwin by putting backends in a single
directory.
It also makes easier to discover kwin's low level components for new
contributors because the plugins directory may come as the last place to
look for. When one hears "plugin", the first thing that comes to mind is
regular plugins, not low level backends.
