Description Federico Mena-Quintero 2010-02-24 14:13:50 UTC

RANDR 1.3 specifies mandatory properties for outputs, ConnectorType and
SignalFormat.  However, the radeon driver doesn't expose these properties.

ConnectorType is the only robust way in which clients can detect the built-in
display in laptops (where ConnectorType=Panel).  Currently clients must resort
to heuristics like "is the output name LVDS, Lvds, LCD, etc.?".

Ping :)  We just ran into https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670459 and needed a hack (another case of looking for magic strings in the output's name) to work around this.  Having the proper ConnectorType would have made this work automatically.
