yes, that crossed my mind. I'm wondering if in practice that is
overkill though. Maybe rendering specifically for one output is sufficient
as long as the secondary displays (however that is determined!) look
OK with a fallback conversion by the compositor. Multiple optimized
renderings per surface could always be added to the hybrid/fallback scheme
at a latter point ?
