Description (last modified by )
Until we have a better dummy driver, see #56 and MST Monitors (see under "current status"), in order to better support applications that try to query the X11 XRandR screen settings directly, we should preload our own hacked copy of the shared library (in exactly the same way that we override wiki/FakeXinerama), then we can:
- return version 1.2 which is often enough to make application fallback to using xinerama or plain X11 (see chromimum: src/ui/views/widget/desktop_aura/desktop_screen_x11.cc : DesktopScreenX11)
- and/or return the monitor layout we actually wished the X11 server had

Looks like we may be able to use this: fakexrandr.
It will need some tweaks to support multiple displays instead of assuming there can only be one (same change already applied to wiki/FakeXinerama).
It uses an undocumented binary format for its configuration file (yuk).
