Tom Yan 5d3345f6e6 mi: decouple miCreateScreenResources from pScreen->{width,height}
This allows pScreen->{width,height} to be changed to smaller values
after miScreenInit() is called but before pScreen is further set up
/ used by dix, so that the screen size can be fit to the mode of
choice even when it does not have the maximum width and/or height
among its peers.

XGetImage() for one will fail once the screen is change back to a
bigger size with xrandr, which prevents e.g. x11vnc to work on the
server.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
