11:09 <wlb> weston Merge request !1638 opened by () clients/touch-calibrator: give final user feedback & add options https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/merge_requests/1638

11:31 <teselka> hi there, i'm thinking about a protocol that would offer rendering of the window's contents without using traditional rendering api but instead send simple commands to the compositor like render box/vertex buffer/text etc. and also let compositor to choose when to ask for client to prepare a frame (primarily for rendering panels, maybe desktop?) so would it be a good idea?

11:34 <d_ed[m]> teselka: and what's the root problem we're solving?

11:36 <vyivel> "let compositor to choose when to ask for client to prepare a frame" isn't that wl_surface.frame

11:36 <kennylevinsen> teselka: What you are suggesting is a server-side drawing API

11:37 <kennylevinsen> but yes the last part - "asking a client to prepare a frame" - is already how we manage things in wayland

11:42 <teselka> d_ed[m]: provide render backend independent api for clients

11:42 <teselka> kennylevinsen: yes

11:43 <d_ed[m]> Toolkits provide this already

11:45 <teselka> d_ed[m]: one for example please?

11:45 <d_ed[m]> Qt, GTK, SDL, Webkit

11:46 <kennylevinsen> pretty much any client toolkit, there's a lot

11:46 <teselka> well, i'm talking about server-side one

11:46 <kennylevinsen> no the point is that you can already do it on the client

11:47 <ManMower> I think the question is: what problem exists that will be made better by having a server-side drawing api in wayland?

11:54 <teselka> ManMower: i want to make a program that would be like swaybar, waybar, etc. and a compositor that would allow client to render things natively with compositor's graphics backend

11:55 <kennylevinsen> the question wasn't "what do you want to do", but "why do you believe it would be better that way"

11:56 <kennylevinsen> it's already easy to render things within the client, with toolkits and abstractions for every taste

11:56 <kennylevinsen> why do you think it would be an improvement to make the server expose yet another option for doing rendering?

12:55 <wlb> weston Issue #967 closed \o/ (Question about using keyboard over VNC in kiosk mode and screen share https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/issues/967)

16:58 <who53> Where I should be looking if I want to disable scroll if more than two fingers are used on touchscreen? Libinput/Wlroots or compositior

17:01 <who53> wl_touch cancel?
