Description

For compositors that do not have xdg_output, we can fall back to using wl_output by itself. xdg_output is generally only useful for fractional scaling, which a basic compositor won't be doing without this protocol.

Tested against latest gamescope and KDE Plasma 6.7, using portalgrab for both scenarios.
