In order for a surface to be used as a cursor plane framebuffer, it appears that requiring the buffer to be linear is sufficient. GBM_BO_USE_SCANOUT is added in case GBM_BO_USE_LINEAR isn't sufficient on untested hardware. Fixes #1323 Removed wlr_drm_plane.cursor_bo as it does not serve any purpose anymore. Relevant analysis (taken from the PR description): While trying to implement a fix for #1323, I found that when exporting the rendered surface into a DMA-BUF and reimporting it with `GBM_BO_USE_CURSOR`, the resulting object does not appear to be valid. After some digging (turning on drm-kms debugging and switching to legacy mode), I managed to extract the following error: ``` [drm:__setplane_check.isra.1 [drm]] Invalid pixel format AR24 little-endian (0x34325241), modifier 0x100000000000001 ``` The format itself refers to ARGB8888 which is the same format as `renderer->gbm_format` used in master to create the cursor bo. However, using `gbm_bo_create` with `GBM_BO_USE_CURSOR` results in a modifier of 0. A modifier of zero represents a linear buffer while the modifier of the surface that is rendered to is `I915_FORMAT_MOD_X_TILED` (see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/include/uapi/drm/drm_fourcc.h?h=v4.20.6#n263). In order to fix this mismatch in modifier, I added the `GBM_BO_USE_LINEAR` to the render surface and everything started to work just fine. I wondered however, whether the export and import is really necessary. I then decided to test if the back buffer of the render surface works as well, and at least on my hardware (Intel HD 530 and Intel UHD 620) it does. This is the patch in this PR and this requires no exporting and importing. I have to note that I cheated in order to import DMA_BUFs into a cursor bo when doing the first tests, since on import the Intel drivers check that the cursor is 64x64. This is strange since cursor sizes other than 64x64 have been around for quite some time now (https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-commit/2014-June/050268.html). Removing this check made everything work fine. I later (while writing this PR) found out that `__DRI_IMAGE_USE_CURSOR` (to which `GBM_BO_USE_CURSOR` translates) has been deprecated in mesa (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/blob/master/include/GL/internal/dri_interface.h#L1296), which makes me wonder what the usecase of `GBM_BO_USE_CURSOR` is. The reason we never encountered this is that when specifying `GBM_BO_USE_WRITE`, a dumb buffer is created trough DRM and the usage flag never reaches the Intel driver directly. The relevant code is in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/blob/master/src/gbm/backends/dri/gbm_dri.c#L1011-1089 . From this it seems that as long as the size, format and modifiers are right, any surface can be used as a cursor. |

wlroots
Pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor; or about 50,000 lines of code you were going to write anyway.
- wlroots provides backends that abstract the underlying display and input hardware, including KMS/DRM, libinput, Wayland, X11, and headless backends, plus any custom backends you choose to write, which can all be created or destroyed at runtime and used in concert with each other.
- wlroots provides unopinionated, mostly standalone implementations of many Wayland interfaces, both from wayland.xml and various protocol extensions. We also promote the standardization of portable extensions across many compositors.
- wlroots provides several powerful, standalone, and optional tools that implement components common to many compositors, such as the arrangement of outputs in physical space.
- wlroots provides an Xwayland abstraction that allows you to have excellent Xwayland support without worrying about writing your own X11 window manager on top of writing your compositor.
- wlroots provides a renderer abstraction that simple compositors can use to avoid writing GL code directly, but which steps out of the way when your needs demand custom rendering code.
wlroots implements a huge variety of Wayland compositor features and implements them right, so you can focus on the features that make your compositor unique. By using wlroots, you get high performance, excellent hardware compatibility, broad support for many wayland interfaces, and comfortable development tools - or any subset of these features you like, because all of them work independently of one another and freely compose with anything you want to implement yourself.
Check out our wiki to get started with wlroots.
wlroots is developed under the direction of the sway project. A variety of wrapper libraries are available for using it with your favorite programming language.
