This adds an option to program basic display color characteristics from
weston.ini. In the future there will be a way to set this information
from EDID, but because EDID is unreliable that will probably not be the
default. An ICC profile will likely override most or all of this. The
main reason to add this option is to be able to characterise HDR
monitors.
An 'output' section can have a key 'color_characteristics' (string)
set to a name. The name refers to any 'color_characteristics' section
with 'name' set to the same string.
The 'name' key of a 'color_characteristics' section cannot contain a
colon ':'. Names with colon in 'output' section key
'color_characteristics' value are reserved for future use, e.g. to
indicate that the metadata is to be taken from EDID instead of a
weston.ini section.

Trying to do HDR with XRGB8888 is a bit like using RGB565 on SDR: you
get visible color quantization and banding in gradients (without dithering
which Weston does not implement yet, and might not work too well for HDR
anyway).
Therefore, on any HDR mode, default output framebuffer format to 10 bpc
instead of 8 bpc.
Ideally we'd also optionally try 16F or 16 bpc formats, but automatic
fallbacks for those are more complicated to arrange. You can still
configure 16F or 16 bpc manually.
This patch also moves the default format setting from
drm_output_set_gbm_format() to drm_output_enable(), because setting the
default now requires eotf_mode. Frontends may call set_gbm_format()
first and set eotf_mode next. This does create an awkward situation for
outputs that a frontend disables and re-enables. This patch here makes
sure that the old output configuration remains, but changing eotf_mode
may not change the default format. One needs to call
set_gbm_format(NULL) to re-evaluate the default format. Resetting the
format on drm_output_deinit() would lose the current setting.
DRM_FORMAT_INVALID was introduced in libdrm 2.4.95 which we already
hard-depend on.

This patch allows a bound socket fd (as opposed to a client

Fbdev backend was deprecated in the Weston 10.0.0 release with
6338dbd581. Before that, I suggested
already in 2019 to remove it, but it was too soon then. Now it seems the
final voices asking for fbdev to be kept have been satisfied, see the
linked issue.
Fbdev-backend uses a kernel graphics UAPI (fbdev) which is sub-par for a
Wayland compositor: you cannot do GPU accelerated graphics in any
reasonable way, no hotplug support, multi-output support is tedious, and
so on. Most importantly, Linux has deprecated fbdev a long time ago due
to the UAPI fitting modern systems and use cases very poorly, but cannot
get rid of it if any users remain. Let's do here what we can to reduce
fbdev usage.
I am doing color management related additions to libweston which require
adding checks to every backend. One backend less is less churn to write
and review.
Libweston major version has already been bumped to 11, so the next
release will be Weston 11, without fbdev. enum weston_compositor_backend
entries change their numerical values.

This adds "icc_profile" key support in [output] sections for backends
headless, x11, wayland, and drm, and also for remoted and pipewire
outputs FWIW. On the other hand, RDP-backend does not use output
sections from weston.ini, and fbdev-backend does not deserve anything
new (it wouldn't support color management anyway due to no GL-renderer).
This allows one to configure an ICC v2 or v4 file to be used as an
output profile. However, color-lcms does not actually use output
profiles yet, so trying this will fail until support is implemented.
The parent_winsys_profile argument is reserved for using the color
profile from a parent window system where applicable, if nothing else is
set in weston.ini. None of the nested backends provide an output color
profile yet. It is more of a reminder of a missing feature than a
serious implementation.
Note: cms-static Weston plugin uses the exact same weston.ini key for
loading VCGT from ICC profiles. If "color-management" option is set to
false, this new use of "icc_profile" is disabled and the old behavior
with cms-static is kept.

This adds an output section option use-renderer-shadow in weston.ini.
This option is only recognized with headless and DRM backends, because
it requires GL-renderer and does not support resizing outputs.
The option is called use-renderer-shadow because this is what it does
right now. In the future the same setting will be used to turn on more
complex image processing when operational pieces required for color
management land. Once color management is implemented, this option is
expected to be removed. This option allows developer testing of features
to be used to implement color management.
This is a rewrite of "weston.ini: introduce use-shadow-fbo in output
config" by Harish Krupo. The main.c code is structured differently, the
weston.ini option is renamed, and the man page paragraph is moved to
weston.ini.man with different content.

kiosk-shell is fullscreen shell for apps that use the xdg-shell
protocol. The goal is to make life easier for people shipping embedded
devices with simple fullscreen shell requirements, and reduce the
proliferation of desktop-shell hacks.
Top level surfaces are made fullscreen, whereas dialogs are placed on
top in the center of the output and retain their natural sizes. Dialogs
can be moved and (un)maximized, but resizing is currently not supported.
An app can be directed to a particular output by populating the
"app-ids" field with the app's XDG app id, in the relevant
"[output]" section in the weston config file.

In the test suite we may want to run a DRM-backend test on a
non-default seat, which may not have a input device associated.
Weston's default behavior is to not open if input devices are
not found, as it may cause troubles. For instance, Weston can
open but if no input device is set than the user can not
interact or leave it.
Add flag --continue-without-input to DRM-backend so we can run
these types of tests with no input. Notice that this won't force
the compositor to skip opening a input device if it finds it on
the non-default seat.

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.

Commit 6666dee52b ("man: Add weston-bindings(7) describing

install: true,
This line triggers a warning with meson 0.50.1:

Accordingly with
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5048
the line was silently ignored by meson before 0.50.0
One possible fix for this warning would require updating the
minumum version of meson required by weston, but then forcing every
builder to update meson.
Instead, since all the other instances in "man/meson.build" of

This is so that, for instance, people using weston as their main Wayland
compositor can invert the sense of two finger scrolling or change
pointer acceleration using weston.ini, rather than having to edit C
code.
All of the options that libinput itself exposes through its API are now
exposed in weston.ini. The new options are called `tap-and-drag`,
`tap-and-drag-lock`, `disable-while-typing`, `middle-emulation`,
`left-handed`, `rotation`, `accel-profile`, `accel-speed`,
`scroll-method`, `natural-scroll`, and `scroll-button`. I have
successfully tested everything except for `rotation`, out of a lack of
hardware support.
weston now depends directly on libevdev for turning button name strings into
kernel input codes. This was needed for the `scroll-button` config
option. (weston already depends indirectly on libevdev through
libinput, so I figured people would be OK with this.) As a practical
matter for debian-style packagers, weston now has a build dependency on
libevdev-dev.
Right now, the code applies the same options to all attached devices
that a given option is relevant for. There are plans for multiple
[libinput] sections, each with different device filters, for users who
need more control here.
