Output layout changes originate from the centralized modeset
infrastructure and request_state which already takes care of arranging
and updating outputs as needed.
The reasoning for using a commit handler is to ensure that all paths for
output changes are correctly handled. With the centralized modeset
infrastructure in place, we can move the logic there. This allows us to
be smarter and avoid extraneous arranges, output manager updates and
transaction commits.
The side-effect is a minor duplication for the special-case
request_state, but the shared path will be relied upon further in future
commits to justify this duplication.
The only reason it's included there is for a declaration of
struct sway_server, but we can just forward-declare it.
This avoids rebuilding almost all of Sway when touching server.h.
All other server.h includes are from source files, not headers.
Regular Wayland clients shouldn't care about the position or size
of outputs. Hide xdg_output from unprivileged clients to make sure
they're not doing shenanigans with this information.
Instead of having a build-time option to enable/disable xwayland
support, just use the wlroots build config: enable xwayland in
Sway if it was enabled when building wlroots. I don't see any
use-case for disabling xwayland in Sway when enabled in wlroots:
Sway doesn't pull in any additional dependency (just pulls in
dependencies that wlroots already needs). We have a config command
to disable xwayland at runtime anyways.
This makes it so xwayland behaves the same way as other features
such as libinput backend and session support. This also reduces
the build matrix (less combinations of build options).
I think we originally introduced the xwayland option when we didn't
have a good way to figure out the wlroots build config from the
Sway build system.
The original sway output config implementation enabled one output at a
time, testing modes, render formats and VRR support as it went along.
While this sort of fallback is easy to do, it has the downside of not
considering the effect of neighbor outputs on the configuration
viability.
With backend-wide commits, we can now better consider the effect of
neighbor outputs, but to handle the fact that we commit all outputs at
once we need to perform a more elaborate search of viable
configurations.
Implement a recursive configuration search for when the primary
configuration failed to apply.
Output configuration can be applied to a particular output in three
ways: As a wildcard, by connector name and by identifier. This in turn
means that three different configurations must be handled at any given
time.
In the current model, this is managed by merging new configuration into
every other matching configuration. At the same time, an additional
synthetic configuration is made which matchehes both identifier and name
at the same time, further complicating logic.
Instead, manage and store each configuration independently and merge
them in order when retrieving configuration for an output. When changes
are made to a less specific configuration, clear these fields from more
specific configurations to allow the change to take effect regardless of
precedence.

apply_output_config_to_outputs uses the specified output config to check
which outputs to apply to, and to use as backup when no config is found.
If any config matches the output, the specified config will be
disregarded.
The only remaining user of apply_output_config_to_outputs is
reset_outputs, which called apply_output_config_to_outputs with either
the first stored wildcard config, or a new empty wildcard config.
Providing a stored or empty wildcard config is practically the same as
calling `apply_all_output_configs`. Replace uses of `reset_outputs` with
`apply_all_output_configs` and remove the now unused functions.
Introduce apply_output_configs, which applies the specified matched
output configs as a single backend commit.
Reimplement apply_output_config_to_outputs using apply_output_configs.
Check if the app that requested a token has provided a valid input
serial and a focused surface. Downgrade activation request to urgency
otherwise.
This is mostly in line with what other Wayland compositors decided to
do, and offers a better security than the original logic.
We tried to synchronize layer shell popups with the parent layer shell
on commits, but this is subtly wrong because we would only update
the position for one layer shell that was committed, but not any other
layer that might be affected. By moving handling to the scene descriptor
we can iterate all popups and ensure they are synchronized.
7e69a7076f ("Drop wl_drm") has dropped wl_drm, however a lot of
software wasn't quite ready for this (Xwayland, libva, amdvlk).
Keep wl_drm disabled by default to pressure the wl_drm phase-out,
but add a -Dlegacy-wl-drm flag for users to restore the previous
behavior in the meantime.
