@HippyWizard sorta but that's arguably also modern X stuff anyway?

@SaddestRobots Ok, but if I want to glue together two screens running three X displays and then operate them from three terminals running different X forwarding sessions on a third computer without a GPU and a different chipset, I could probably figure that out in an evening by reading

@HippyWizard this is true but as soon as you run, say, GNOME on that, you enter a world where most of your operating system is hostile to the idea of an "X display" existing, for example (because it's made by the same people who made Wayland >.> )

@SaddestRobots Yeah, honestly, the tablet that causes me most of this pain is probably half because I'm using GNOME and half because wayland. That's probably true.

@HippyWizard got into a fight with the Red Hat people some years back because GNOME 3 dropped the concept of X Displays completely and they were like "how did this even come up!?" when I said I needed them

@SaddestRobots But but but!
Why wouldn't it!?

Not even multiheaded devices, what if you just want to be able to force some things to go to a place and misbehave there in peace!

@HippyWizard i think someone went through and just removed the parameter from most of the functions, somehow
