As of now, we update cursor metadata only when the screen content changes, but
this results into not having smooth cursor movement. We can update only mouse
cursor location when it changes and send an empty buffer with mouse cursor
metadata so clients can have update mouse location.
Kwin announces a format with alpha when Dma-Bufs are available, even
when the texture doesn't contain any. This results in clients segfault
when trying to access the buffer assuming a maxsize wrt. the announced
format by ways of dimensions and bpp.
This patch moves the format masking to affect the Dma-Buf transport
only.
Currently, MouseArea.doubleClicked doesn't work in QtQuick effects.
Luckily, the overview effect doesn't use it, but it's still worth making
sure that it works as expected regardless of whether it's a kwin effect.
With this change, the OffscreenQuickView will keep track of the last
mouse press event. If the second button press occurs within the mouse
double click interval, the OffscreenQuickView will generate a
QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick event, similar to what QGuiApplication would
normally do when processing window system events.
EffectQuickScene is not used strictly by effects, aurorae decorations
use it too to render window decorations.
This change renames the EffectQuickView/Scene to
OffscreenQuickView/Scene to clear up the naming scheme.
Currently, when screencasting a window, kwin may render a window into a
temporary offscreen texture, copy that offscreen texture to the dma-buf
render target, and discard the offscreen texture.
Allocating and deallocating offscreen textures is inefficient. Another
issue is that the screencast plugin uses Scene::Window::windowTexture().
It's a blocker for killing scene windows.
This change introduces a base ScreenCastSource type. It allows us to
move away from Scene::Window::windowTexture() and make the dma-buf code
path efficient with applications such as Firefox that utilize
sub-surfaces.
With the ScreenCastSource, kwin can also provide screen cast frames with
arbitrary device pixel ratio.
The Compositor contains nothing that can potentially get dirty and need
repainting.
As is, the advantages of this move aren't really noticeable, but it
makes sense with multiple scenes.
Backend parts are far from ideal, they can be improved later on as we
progress with the scene redesign.
This improves file organization in kwin by putting backends in a single
directory.
It also makes easier to discover kwin's low level components for new
contributors because the plugins directory may come as the last place to
look for. When one hears "plugin", the first thing that comes to mind is
regular plugins, not low level backends.
This ports the nested wayland platform plugin to the InputDevice
abstractions.
Some global handling logic has been simplified to make porting more
straightforward.
The main motivation behind this change is to prepare input abstractions
for virtual input devices so the wl_seat can properly advertise caps or
the cursor getting properly mapped/unmapped when a fake pointer is
added/removed on a system without a hardware mouse connected.
With this, there are three abstractions - InputDevice, InputBackend, and
InputRedirection.
An InputDevice represents an input device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a
tablet, etc. The InputBackend class notifies the InputRedirection about
(dis-)connected devices. The InputRedirection manages the input devices.
Such design allows to unify the event flow for real and virtual input
devices.
There can be several input backends active. For example, the libinput
backend and an input backend that provides virtual input devices, e.g.
libeis or org_kde_kwin_fake_input.
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.
