vkGetRandROutputDisplayEXT

Query the VkDisplayKHR corresponding to an X11 RandR Output

When acquiring displays from an X11 server, an application may also wish to enumerate and identify them using a native handle rather than a VkDisplayKHR handle. To determine the VkDisplayKHR handle corresponding to an X11 RandR Output, call:

VkResult vkGetRandROutputDisplayEXT(
    VkPhysicalDevice physicalDevice,
    Display* dpy,
    RROutput rrOutput,
    VkDisplayKHR* pDisplay);
  • physicalDevice is the physical device to query the display handle on.
  • dpy is a connection to the X11 server from which rrOutput was queried.
  • rrOutput is an X11 RandR output ID.
  • pDisplay is a pointer to a VkDisplayKHR handle where the display is returned.

If there is no VkDisplayKHR corresponding to rrOutput on physicalDevice, VK_NULL_HANDLE will be returned in pDisplay.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-vkGetRandROutputDisplayEXT-dpy-parameter

dpy must be a valid pointer to a Display value

VUID-vkGetRandROutputDisplayEXT-pDisplay-parameter

pDisplay must be a valid pointer to a VkDisplayKHR handle
