This is to prevent hitting the case where there are no any outputs.
Ideally, it shouldn't matter in which order outputs are added or
removed, but the Workspace and AbstractClient subclasses don't work
with true headless mode. If there are no outputs, kwin can crash.
It's confusing to have globalPos() and geometry() as both can return the
same information.
This change drops globalPos() function as it's not used outside the
AbstractWaylandOutput class and renames setGlobalPos() to moveTo() to
avoid having a setter without matching getter.
We use surfaceless contexts with internal windows. We also require
the EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context extension for making context current
without outputs.
Arguably, we could use pbuffers, but since mainstream drivers (Mesa and
NVIDIA) support surfaceless contexts, the extra complexity doesn't buy
us anything.
A better alternative is to return the damage region in the beginFrame()
function. This way, the render backend can force full screen repaints or
indicate what parts of the buffer needs to be repainted (for buffer age)
One of the scene redesign goals is to make wayland surface items
re-usable. So we have the same rendering path for drag-and-drop icons,
software cursors, and window surfaces.
The biggest issue at the moment is that window pixmaps are tightly
coupled with scene windows.
This change de-couples window pixmaps from scene windows. In order to
achieve that, some architecture changes were made.
The WindowPixmap class was replaced with the SurfacePixmap class. A
surface pixmap is created by a surface item.
Under the hood, a SurfacePixmap will create a PlatformSurfaceTexture
object, which contains all the information necessary for the renderer.
The SceneOpenGLTexture class was removed. However, the GLX and the EGL
on X11 backends still mess with GLTexture's internals.
Currently, output properties are looked up either on the wl_output
object or the output device object. This puts a hard dependency on the
wayland server in the platforms.
This change intends to fix some flaws in the current output
abstractions, and allow creating/destroying wayland-specific globals as
we wish.
With the work done in this patch, the need for the AbstractWaylandOutput
class is unclear, and it might be a good idea to merge it with the base
AbstractOutput class.
At the moment, the session code is far from being extensible. If we
decide to add support for libseatd, it will be a challenging task with
the current design of session management code. The goal of this
refactoring is to fix that.
Another motivation behind this change is to prepare session related code
for upstreaming to kwayland-server where it belongs.
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
