.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The DRM backend is the native Weston backend for systems that support
|
|
|
|
|
the Linux kernel DRM, kernel mode setting (KMS), and evdev input devices.
|
|
|
|
|
It is the recommended backend for desktop PCs, and aims to provide
|
|
|
|
|
the full Wayland experience with the "every frame is perfect" concept.
|
|
|
|
|
It also relies on the Mesa GBM interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the DRM backend,
|
|
|
|
|
.B weston
|
|
|
|
|
runs without any underlying windowing system. The backend uses the
|
|
|
|
|
Linux KMS API to detect connected monitors. Monitor hot-plugging is
|
|
|
|
|
supported. Input devices are found automatically by
|
|
|
|
|
.BR udev (7).
|
|
|
|
|
Compositing happens mainly in GL\ ES\ 2, initialized through EGL. It
|
|
|
|
|
is also possible to take advantage of hardware cursors and overlays,
|
|
|
|
|
when they exist and are functional. Full-screen surfaces will be
|
|
|
|
|
scanned out directly without compositing, when possible.
|
|
|
|
|
Hardware accelerated clients are supported via EGL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The backend chooses the DRM graphics device first based on seat id.
|
|
|
|
|
If seat identifiers are not set, it looks for the graphics device
|
|
|
|
|
that was used in boot. If that is not found, it finally chooses
|
|
|
|
|
the first DRM device returned by
|
|
|
|
|
.BR udev (7).
|
|
|
|
|
Combining multiple graphics devices is not supported yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The DRM backend also supports virtual outputs that are transmitted over
|
|
|
|
|
an RTP session as a series of JPEG images (RTP payload type 26) to a remote
|
|
|
|
|
client. Virtual outputs are configured in the
|
|
|
|
|
.BR remote-output
|
|
|
|
|
section of
|
|
|
|
|
.BR weston.ini.

The DRM backend uses the following entries from

|
|

\fBgbm-format\fR=\fIformat\fR
|
|
|
|
|
sets the GBM format used for the framebuffer for the GBM backend. Can be
|
|
|
|
|
.B xrgb8888,
|
|
|
|
|
.B xrgb2101010,
|
|

.B rgb565.
|
|

By default, xrgb8888 is used.

|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\fBpageflip-timeout\fR=\fImilliseconds\fR
|
|
|
|
|
sets Weston's pageflip timeout in milliseconds. This sets a timer to exit
|
|
|
|
|
gracefully with a log message and an exit code of 1 in case the DRM driver is
|
|

non-responsive. Setting it to 0 disables this feature.

man: add description for specifying modes with aspect-ratio in weston.ini
This patch adds information about the new resolution-format that can
be specified by a user in weston.ini to select a CEA mode. CEA defines
timing of a video mode, which is considered as a standard for
HDMI certification and compliance testing. It defines each and every
parameter, of a video mode, like h/vactive,h/vfront h/vback etc.,
including aspect-ratio information. The drm layer, specifies the
aspect-ratio information in user-mode flag bits 19-22. For the non-CEA
modes a value of 0 is given in the aspect-ratio flag bits. Each
CEA-mode is identified by a unique, Video Identification Code (VIC).
For example, VIC=4 is 1280x720@60 aspect-ratio 16:9.
This mode will be different than a non-CEA mode 1280x720@60 0:0.
The new mode-format helps to differentiate between the CEA and
non-CEA modes, by letting user specify aspect-ratio along with other
paremeters: mode=widthxheight@rr ratio.
This helps when certification testing is done, in tests like 7-27,
the HDMI analyzer applies a particular CEA mode, and expects the
applied mode to be with exactly same timings, including the
aspect-ratio and VIC field.

Here \fIratio\fR is Picture Aspect-Ratio which can have values as 4:3, 16:9,
|
|
|
|
|
64:27, and 256:135. This resolution-format helps to select a CEA mode, if such a

CEA defines the timing of a video mode, which is considered as a standard for

HDMI spcification and compliance testing. It defines each and every parameter of

|
|
|
a video mode, like hactive, vactive, vfront, vback etc., including aspect-ratio

|
|
|
|
information. For CEA modes, the drm layer, stores this aspect-ratio information
|
|
|
|
|
in user-mode (drmModeModeInfo) flag bits 19-22. For the non-CEA modes a value of
|
|
|
|
|
0 is stored in the aspect-ratio flag bits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each CEA-mode is identified by a unique, Video Identification Code (VIC).
|
|
|
|
|
For example, VIC=4 is 1280x720@60 aspect-ratio 16:9. This mode will be
|
|
|
|
|
different than a non-CEA mode 1280x720@60 0:0. When the video mode
|
|
|
|
|
1280x720@60 0:0 is applied, since its timing doesn't exactly match with the CEA

|
|
|
|
|
the HDMI-AVI-Inforframe, VIC parameter will be given as '0'. If video mode

|
|
|
|
1280x720@60 16:9 is applied, its CEA timimgs matches with that of video mode with

VIC=4, so the VIC parameter in HDMI-AVI-Infoframe will be set to 4.

Many a times, an output may have both CEA and non-CEA modes, which are similar
|
|
|
|
|
in all resepct, differing only in the aspect-ratio. A user can select a CEA mode
|
|
|
|
|
by giving the aspect-ratio, along with the other arguments for the mode.
|
|
|
|
|
By omitting the aspect-ratio, user can specify the non-CEA modes.

\fBtransform\fR=\fItransform\fR

and possibly flipped. Possible values are

Redefine output rotations
It was discovered in issue #99 that the implementations of the 90 and 270
degree rotations were actually the inverse of what the Wayland specification
spelled out. This patch fixes the libweston implementation to follow the
specification.
As a result, the behaviour of the the weston.ini transform key also changes. To
force all users to re-think their configuration, the transform key values are
also changed. Since Weston and libweston change their behaviour, the handling
of clients' buffer transform changes too.
All the functions had their 90/270 cases simply swapped, probably due to
confusion of whether WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_* refers to rotating the monitor or
the content.
Hint: a key to understanding weston_matrix_rotate_xy(m, c, s) is that the
rotation matrix is formed as
c -s
s c
that is, it's column-major. This fooled me at first.
Fixing window.c fixes weston-terminal and weston-transformed.
In simple-damage, window_get_transformed_ball() is fixed to follow the proper
transform definitions, but the fix to the viewport path in redraw() is purely
mechanical. The viewport path looks broken to me in the presence of any
transform, but it is not this patch's job to fix it.
Screen-share fix just repeats the general code fix pattern, I did not even try
to understand that bit.
