The noop backend is similar to headless, but it doesn't contain a
renderer. It can be used as a place to stash views for when there's no
physical outputs connected.
Sessions can now be retrieved from a backend in a more general manner.
Multi-backend gets back its `session` field that contains the session
if one was created, removing the interfacing from multi backend with the
drm backend directly. This adds the possibility to use sessions even
without the drm backend.
It additionally fixes the bug that 2 session objects got created when
WLR_BACKENDS were set to "libinput,drm".
To allow vt switching without drm backend (and drm fd) on logind, start
listening to PropertiesChanged signals from dbus and parse the session
"Active" property when no master fd was created (this does not change
current drm backend behaviour in any way).
This introduces -DWLR_USE_UNSTABLE and adds information regarding the
stability status to all headers. I started with a conservative set of
headers to mark as stable:
- types/wlr_matrix.h
- util/edges.h
- util/log.h
- util/region.h
- xcursor.h
Compositors now have more control over how the backend creates its
renderer. Currently all backends create an EGL/GLES2 renderer, so
the necessary attributes for creating the context are passed to a
user-provided callback function. It is responsible for initializing
provided wlr_egl and to return a renderer. On fail, return 0.
Fixes#987
This backports some changes to #319 to fix the screenshooter data
format. This also adds wlr_backend_get_renderer which will be
useful to support multiple renderers.
Add a remote display name argument to wlr_wl_backend_create.
If NULL is passed to the wayland backend at all times, creating a
wayland backend *after* the compositor was started up, would require
changing the WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable.
