16This extension allows an application to take exclusive control on a display
17currently associated with an X11 screen.
18When control is acquired, the display will be deassociated from the X11
19screen until control is released or the specified display connection is
20closed.
21Essentially, the X11 screen will behave as if the monitor has been unplugged
22until control is released.

41=== Issues
42
431) Should flink:vkAcquireXlibDisplayEXT take an RandR display ID, or a
44Vulkan display handle as input?
45
46*RESOLVED*: A Vulkan display handle.
47Otherwise there would be no way to specify handles to displays that had been
48"`blacklisted`" or prevented from being included in the X11 display list by
49some native platform or vendor-specific mechanism.
50
512) How does an application figure out which RandR display corresponds to a
52Vulkan display?
53
54*RESOLVED*: A new function, flink:vkGetRandROutputDisplayEXT, is introduced
55for this purpose.
56
573) Should flink:vkGetRandROutputDisplayEXT be part of this extension, or a
58general Vulkan + RandR or Vulkan + Xlib extension?
59
60*RESOLVED*: To avoid yet another extension, include it in this extension.
