So, I think we mostly agree that the protocol design in this area is
not ideal. On the other hand, if we can make it work without any
protocol changes, it makes for a far less complicated transition (no
capabilities flags, no handling of old and new protocol messages, etc).
So if we can make things work without changes to the protocol, that
would be nice.
Your current approach is that the guest sends a message to the server
to tell the server the output_id associated with a given stream. Then
this output_id is passed on to the client so that the client can pass
it back to the server, who then passes it on to the guest.
What if, instead, we switch the responsibilities around?
What if we made the server tell the guest which ID it associates with
the stream (instead of the guest telling the server). The ID that the
server assigns to the stream would just be the channel ID + monitor ID
to match the client's assumptions. Then the guest agent would maintain
a map from server ID to xrandr ID. That would perhaps allow us to avoid
changing the protocol messages. Of course, maybe you already considered
this approach and there's a reason that it won't work that I'm not
considering.
