dynamically.

Xinerama's information now comes from the Monitors instead of directly
from the CRTCs. The Monitor marked as Primary will be listed first.
1.5.2. Clarification of Output lifetimes
With dynamic connectors being a possibility with the introduction of
DisplayPort multistream (MST), a lot of RandR clients can't handle the
XID BadMatch when a RandR output disappears. This is to clarify that
going forward the X server will not remove outputs dynamically,
just mark them as disconnected.
