Hi, we discussed these patches on #wayland in IRC, and I believe we came to the following conclusion: - Let's not add to wayland.xml, and not advertise the aspect ratio to clients. There is no need to do this, and clients are currently not able to take advantage of it either. - With the wl_output bits dropped, the idea in the Weston patch is good. You are adding a way to choose non-square pixel modes via weston.ini, and to choose the refresh rate as well. The purpose of the Weston patch is to provide a real test vehicle for the remaining kernel patches. The above mentioned should suffice, I believe. Thanks, pq
