In case the user has just the one display but they don't want to show it
in their main workspace when sharing video, allow creating a virtual
display.
This also will allow using remote devices as support displays.
When we're adding the output to the EglGbmBackend pipelines aren't necessarily
setup yet and are thus missing the modifier list. As creating the gbm surface
immediately is useless anyways, delay that until we need it, where the modifier
list is available.
Currently, idle timers are not restarted on user input which triggers
the lockscreen even though the user is active at computer.
This change fixes that by making sure that idle timers are restarted
whenever SeatInterface's timestamp changes, i.e. user moves the pointer
or presses a key, etc.
The main motivation behind this change is to prepare kwin for importing
kwayland-server code in libkwin.
As is, builtin effects are linked with libkwin. Some builtin effects
have wayland specific code. If we move wayland stuff in libkwin, there's
going to be a circular dependency between kwin4_effect_builtins and
libkwin targets.
This change intends to break that dependency by linking builtin effects
to kwin executable.
The main issue with that is that EffectLoader would need to discover the
effects indirectly. QStaticPlugin is used for that purpose.
Besides breaking the cyclic dependency, it makes builtin effects use the
same plugin infrastructure in libkwineffects that external effects use.
Metadata in src/effects/effect_builtins.cpp was converted in a list of
python dictionaries, which was fed to a python script that generated
main.cpp and metadata.json files.
At the moment we'll be setting the YInverted setting, but in practice
that won't have any effect as it only changes the render matrix and
we'll end up streaming inverted textures.
This change addresses it by rendering it into another texture first to
resolve this situation and then download that new texture instead.
This change merges the two OpenGL backends into one making the current
default of GLCore the overall default. It becomes the first context to
try to create. If it fails, it will automatically fall back to the
(previous) OpenGL 2 backend.
Reasoning: the differentiation of OpenGL 2 and 3 is a very technical one
and hard to understand for users. It is not obvious which one is better
or should be used. This results in many user discussions like "Which
backend to use?"
Back when the OpenGL 3 backend was introduced the dedicated feature made
sense. It was a new code base using new driver features. Nowadays the
code base in KWin is robust and mature and so are the drivers. A driver
advertising support for OpenGL 3 will support OpenGL 3. We don't have to
plan for driver breakage in this area any more.
Also our code evolved through the context attribute builder which gives
us the possibility to more easily fall back in case we cannot create the
context. Thus the need to select the backend is not so important as it
used to be when the feature got introduced.
If a user still wants to force OpenGL2, it is still possible by setting
the appropriate environment variables like MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE.
This change brings the improvement that the backend selection is now
completely removed from the compositing KCM.
Currently, kwin crashes at shutdown because the idle poller plugin is unloaded when exit handlers are run, after the waylandServer() is destroyed. This results in null dereferencing.
BUG: 443268
It's not necessary, the placeholder output already gets created in DrmBackend::removeOutput
if necessary. More improtantly it's missing the check for shutdown, which
may cause issues if the computer is turned off while no outputs are connected.
Blobs are not reference counted if used by other drm master, if kwin
re-uses a deleted blob in an atomic commit, it will fail. For example,
on my computer, this happens when kwin starts after xorg.
Besides that, kwin may try to destroy blobs that it doesn't own, which
is not fatal but it's strange to do so.
CCBUG: 442603
CCBUG: 439873
While findWorkingCombination should never fail, in the case it does
KWin should not crash. To achieve that simply restore the old config
in case of failure.
CCBUG: 439873
DrmGpu::updateOutputs is now changing the state of some drm properties
without changing the fitting output state (namely RenderLoop inhibition)
which can lead to rendering being inhibited indefinitely in some cases
Software-based clipping is naive. It maps the clip region from the
global screen coordinates and intersects it with window quads. If the
window is transformed, the quads won't be clipped as expected.
Unfortunately, the OpenGL scene enables software-based geometry clipping
if the screen transformed. It's not clear why it does so, perhaps as a
performance optimization? Either way, this produces incorrect results
when the screen is scaled.
