Most of the pending output state is not forwarded to the backend prior to an output commit. For instance, wlr_output_set_mode just stashes the mode without calling any wlr_output_impl function. wlr_output_impl.commit is responsible for applying the pending mode. However, there are exceptions to this rule. The first one is wlr_output_attach_render. It won't go away before renderer v6 is complete, because it needs to set the current EGL surface. The second one is wlr_output_attach_buffer. wlr_output_impl.attach_buffer is removed in [1]. When wlr_output_rollback is called, all pending state is supposed to be cleared. This works for all the state except the two exceptions mentionned above. To fix this, introduce wlr_output_impl.rollback. Right now, the backend resets the current EGL surface. This prevents GL commands from affecting the output after wlr_output_rollback. This patch is required for FBO-based outputs to work properly. The compositor might be using FBOs for its own purposes [2], having leftover FBO state can have bad consequences.

wlroots
Pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor; or about 50,000 lines of code you were going to write anyway.
- wlroots provides backends that abstract the underlying display and input hardware, including KMS/DRM, libinput, Wayland, X11, and headless backends, plus any custom backends you choose to write, which can all be created or destroyed at runtime and used in concert with each other.
- wlroots provides unopinionated, mostly standalone implementations of many Wayland interfaces, both from wayland.xml and various protocol extensions. We also promote the standardization of portable extensions across many compositors.
- wlroots provides several powerful, standalone, and optional tools that implement components common to many compositors, such as the arrangement of outputs in physical space.
- wlroots provides an Xwayland abstraction that allows you to have excellent Xwayland support without worrying about writing your own X11 window manager on top of writing your compositor.
- wlroots provides a renderer abstraction that simple compositors can use to avoid writing GL code directly, but which steps out of the way when your needs demand custom rendering code.
wlroots implements a huge variety of Wayland compositor features and implements them right, so you can focus on the features that make your compositor unique. By using wlroots, you get high performance, excellent hardware compatibility, broad support for many wayland interfaces, and comfortable development tools - or any subset of these features you like, because all of them work independently of one another and freely compose with anything you want to implement yourself.
Check out our wiki to get started with wlroots.
wlroots is developed under the direction of the sway project. A variety of wrapper libraries are available for using it with your favorite programming language.
Building
Install dependencies:
- meson
- wayland
- wayland-protocols
- EGL
