This subsystem deals with the synchronization of the client's display
and its configuration (ie: DPI
, HDR
, etc), in
particular sending updated screen configuration whenever the number of
monitors or their configuration changes.
The client may also apply scaling, which changes the display size
exposed to the server.
This can be used to reduce the amount of pixels needed to cover a
monitor.
