Add a hwcomposer backend based on libhybris This backend interacts with libhybris to create a hwcomposer which is used for creating the egl context and surface. The initial version of this backend is based on test_hwcomposer.cpp provided by libhybris. Please note that using the hwcomposer backend requires a newer libepoxy, the latest stable release is not able to bring up OpenGLES, so one needs a master build of libepoxy. Notes on licensing: libhybris is Apache 2.0 licensed, which is not compatile with GPLv2. But it is compatible with GPLv3. Thus the source files in the hwcomposer backend are licensed GPLv3+ and not GPLv2+ as the rest of KWin. If one uses KWin without the hwcomposer backend (which is obviously the default) the licence doesn't change. But if the hwcomposer backend is used the overall license of KWin changes to GPLv3+. 2015-05-06 15:47:07 +00:00			`{`
[wayland] Add a --list-backends command line arg for listing available backends Distributions do package each backend plugin in a dedicated package, which means just because KWin got compiled with a specific backend, doesn't mean it is also available at runtime. In order to better support this reality this change introduces a list-backends command line option. Each of the plugins got the json metadata extended by the KPlugin syntax, so that we have a name and description to print. As we already locate all plugins anyway, the additional findPlugins for the selected backend is changed to search the list of all plugin meta data. 2015-10-02 07:31:47 +00:00			`"KPlugin": {`

[backends/hwcomper] Initial support for input handling Unfortunately on libhybris enabled systems libinput doesn't work, thus the backend needs to handle input events which can be read from hybris. So far the backend only handles touch events properly, though some aspects look wrong. E.g. motion gives only for one touch contact point. Unfortunately the documentation is quite weak, so there might be something important missing. 2015-05-09 12:24:20 +00:00			`"input": true`
