+        Map the surface as a fullscreen surface. If an output parameter is
+        given then the surface will be made fullscreen on that output. If the
+        client does not specify the output then the compositor will apply its
+        policy - usually choosing the output on which the surface has the
+        biggest surface area.
+
+        The client may specify a method to resolve a size conflict between the
+        output size and the surface size - this is provided through the
+        fullscreen_method parameter.
+
+        The framerate parameter is used only when the fullscreen_method is set
+        to "driver", to indicate the preferred framerate. framerate=0 indicates
+        that the app does not care about framerate.
+
+        The compositor must reply to this request with a configure event with
+        the dimensions for the output on which the surface will be made fullscreen.
