The noop backend is similar to headless, but it doesn't contain a
renderer. It can be used as a place to stash views for when there's no
physical outputs connected.
The renderer redesign is going to need the render fd before the backend
is fully started, so we have to move the wl registry code to when the
backend is created instead of when it is started.
We also need to stash the wl_keyboard and emit it to library users
later, once they've added their listeners and started the backend.
When a pageflip is pending, we'll get a DRM event for the connector
in the future. We don't want to free the connector immediately
otherwise we'll use-after-free in the pageflip handler.
This commit adds a new state, "DISAPPEARED". This asks the pageflip
handler to destroy the output after it's done pageflipping.
Sessions can now be retrieved from a backend in a more general manner.
Multi-backend gets back its `session` field that contains the session
if one was created, removing the interfacing from multi backend with the
drm backend directly. This adds the possibility to use sessions even
without the drm backend.
It additionally fixes the bug that 2 session objects got created when
WLR_BACKENDS were set to "libinput,drm".
To allow vt switching without drm backend (and drm fd) on logind, start
listening to PropertiesChanged signals from dbus and parse the session
"Active" property when no master fd was created (this does not change
current drm backend behaviour in any way).
This commit allows outputs that need a CRTC to steal it from
user-disabled outputs. Note that in the case there are enough
CRTCs, disabled outputs don't loose it (so there's no modeset
and plane initialization needed after DPMS). CRTC allocation
still prefers to keep the old configuration, even if that means
allocating an extra CRTC to a disabled output.
CRTC reallocation now happen when enabling/disabling an output as
well as when trying to modeset. When enabling an output without a
CRTC, we realloc to try to steal a CRTC from a disabled output
(that doesn't really need the CRTC). When disabling an output, we
try to give our CRTC to an output that needs one. Modesetting is
similar to enabling.
A new DRM connector field has been added: `desired_enabled`.
Outputs without CRTCs get automatically disabled. This field keeps
track of the state desired by the user, allowing to automatically
re-enable outputs when a CRTC becomes free.
This required some changes to the allocation algorithm. Previously,
the algorithm tried to keep the previous configuration even if a
new configuration with a better score was possible (it only changed
configuration when the old one didn't work anymore). This is now
changed and the old configuration (still preferred) is only
retained without considering new possibilities when it's perfect
(all outputs have CRTCs).
User-disabled outputs now have `possible_crtcs` set to 0, meaning
they can only retain a previous CRTC (not acquire a new one). The
allocation algorithm has been updated to do not bump the score
when assigning a CRTC to a disabled output.
This commit handles better situations in which the number of
connected outputs is greater than the number of available CRTCs.
It'll enable as many outputs as possible, and transfer CRTCs to
outputs that need one on unplug.
This changes CRTC and plane reallocation to happen after scanning
DRM connectors instead of on modeset.
This cleanups CRTCs and planes on unplug to allow them to be
re-used for other outputs.
On modeset, if an output doesn't have a CRTC, the desired mode is
saved and used later when the output gains a CRTC.
Future work includes giving priority to enabled outputs over
disabled ones for CRTC allocation. This requires the compositor to
know about all outputs (even outputs without CRTCs) to properly
modeset outputs enabled in the compositor config file and disable
outputs disabled in the config file.
The previous naming was based on the input-device capability names from
libinput.
With code that uses the libinput_tablet_tool and mapping into tablet-v2,
this is confusing, so the name is changed to follow the names used in
the protocol.
This adds the management code to manage tablet tools lifetimes from
libinput.
It follows the suggestion made in the tablet-unstable-v2.xml to destroy
tablet_tools once all tablets that it got into contact with were removed
from the system. This is implemented via a refcount.
If a tool is *not* unique, it will be destroyed on proximity out. This
is libinput specific and mentioned in libinput docs that tools will not
be found again, so we shouldn't keep a reference to them.
Also they can't be on other tablets as well, because they cannot be
tracked.
The naming in this commit is a bit off (to not break things).
The wlr names stay the same, tablet_tool is the libinput_device with
capaiblity LIBINPUT_DEVICE_CAP_TABLET_TOOL which is more akin to
"tablet" in the tablet-unstable-v2 protocol.
The struct that corresponds to the tablet_tool in tablet-unstable-v2 is
called tablet_tool_tool, a rename should be done at some point in the
future.
Compositors now have more control over how the backend creates its
renderer. Currently all backends create an EGL/GLES2 renderer, so
the necessary attributes for creating the context are passed to a
user-provided callback function. It is responsible for initializing
provided wlr_egl and to return a renderer. On fail, return 0.
Fixes#987
This changes the `wlr_output_impl.set_cursor` function to take a
`wlr_texture` instead of a byte buffer. This simplifies the
DRM and Wayland backends since they were creating textures from
the byte buffer anyway.
With this commit, performance should be improved when moving the
cursor since outputs don't need to be re-rendered anymore.
