I've got xcb patches for the protocol bits, and mesa patches out for
review that use them. I'm not sure how you'd expect xrandr to take
advantage of leasing though? As for non-desktop support, xrandr happily
ignores non-desktop monitors, so that at least works?

I think one useful user-space thing I could do that wasn't mesa would be
to create an X server that used a leased output. I'm not sure how I'd
get input devices though.

I'm happy to create more use cases if you can think of some that would
be helpful.
