I think outputs are better suited for this.

How will this work with Wayland?

On a related note, some distributions have migrated to "libglvnd", the
"vendor neutral OpenGL dispatch library".  AIUI it installs a shim
libE?GL.so that automatically loads the appropriate driver.  Perhaps it
can be useful to achieve this goal, and it might also make hardware
acceleration work on foreign graphics drivers, which would be awesome.
