so e has a bit of a problem. we mostly deal with zones, BUt these
zones come from our old xinerama code (this likely should just die
some time) and THIS code gets fed info from e's randr code. we
re-fill/modify as randr finds new screens or things get reconfigured.
thus zones adapt. the problem is now all our zone code really has a
hard time reverse mapping the zone back to where it came from -eg the
randr screen data. you literally can't do a whole bunch of things like
know if that zone was an internal laptop lid or an external screen, or
if it was rotated or even what the dpi is... as you ave no deasy way
to map it back other than by guessing geometry matches.
this fixes that by storing the randr screen id (which should be
unique) fromt he original src randr screen in the xinerama screen and
then in the zone. with this you can do a quick lookup in the e randr
data should you ever need to find the info. this should pave the way
for some other fixes/improvements, but without this they cannot be done.
@fix
this makes highest priority screen the lowest (0) zone. this also
handles missing screesn that you are relative "of". missing clones are
not working atm. also zone reconfigure moves windows now too
the dialog for now is simple and lets you just raw edit the properties
per screen in a dialog. nothing fancy. not user firendly. but it works.
the randr core has been totally rewritten and tested against a range
of drivers and setups before even getting a commit. it works solidly
and configures screens reliably now. drivers tested:
nvidia
intel
radeon
some drivers still are unreliable in terms of delivering plug/unplug
events for outputs (both intel and radeon are flakey - nvidia is solid
and reliable). so to fix this there is now a screen redo action you
can bind to a hotkey or something and have e re-evaluate current
screen setup and apply ny pending config if needed.
also to make reconfiguring prettier the screen is faded to black
first, then configured, then faded back in. some drivers work
flawlessly with this, others still flicker some garbage.
i admit - i haven't tested nouveau, but my general take on this is the
randr code is now in far better shape than where it was (minus pretty
and easy dialog). the dialog can be done next, but i'd like to get the
core in now for more testing.
@fix
huge fustercluck commit because there wasn't really a way to separate out the changes. better to just rip it all out at once.
* compositor and window management completely rewritten. this was the goal for E19, but it pretty much required everything existing to be scrapped since it wasn't optimized, streamlined, or sensible. now instead of having the compositor strapped to the window manager like an outboard motor, it's housed more like an automobile engine.
** various comp structs have been merged into other places (eg. E_Comp_Zone is now just part of E_Zone where applicable), leading to a large deduplication of attributes
** awful E_Comp_Win is totally dead, having been replaced with e_comp_object smart objects which work just like normal canvas objects
** protocol-specific window management and compositor functionality is now kept exclusively in backend files
** e_pixmap api provides generic client finding and rendering api
** screen/xinerama screens are now provided directly by compositor on startup and re-set on change
** e_comp_render_update finally replaced with eina_tiler
** wayland compositor no longer creates X windows
** compositor e_layout removed entirely
* e_container is gone. this was made unnecessary in E18, but I kept it to avoid having too much code churn in one release. its sole purpose was to catch some events and handle window stacking, both of which are now just done by the compositor infra
* e_manager is just for screensaver and keybind stuff now, possibly remove later?
* e_border is gone along with a lot of its api. e_client has replaced it, and e_client has been rewritten completely; some parts may be similar, but the design now relies upon having a functional compositor
** window configuration/focus functions are all removed. all windows are now managed solely with evas_object_X functions on the "frame" member of a client, just as any other canvas object can be managed.
*** do NOT set interceptors on a client's comp_object. seriously.
* startup order rewritten: compositor now starts much earlier, other things just use attrs and members of the compositor
* ecore_x_pointer_xy_get usage replaced with ecore_evas_pointer_xy_get
* e_popup is totally gone, existing usage replaced by e_comp_object_util_add where applicable, otherwise just placed normally on the canvas
* deskmirror is (more) broken for now
* illume is totally fucked
* Ecore_X_Window replaced with Ecore_Window in most cases
* edge binding XWindows replaced with regular canvas objects
* some E_Win functionality has changed such that delete callbacks are now correctly called in ALL cases. various dialogs have been updated to not crash as a result
comp files and descriptions:
e_comp.c - overall compositor functions, rendering/update loop, shape cutting
e_comp_x.c - X window management and compositor functionality
e_comp_wl.c - Wayland surface management and compositor functionality
e_comp_canvas.c - general compositor canvas functions and utilities
e_comp_object.c - E_Client->frame member for managing clients as Evas_Objects, utility functions for adding objects to the compositor rendering systems
additional authors: ivan.briano@intel.com
feature: new compositor
removal: e_border, e_container, e_popup
not zone->id. zone->id is for matching u to zinerama/xrandr
screens/outputs. e re-sorts based on highest res screens first, lower
res later.

Do not abuse the concept of e_*_init(), make them call-once and those
that needed multiple call are renamed to e_*_update(). To make sure
convert them to EINTERN so the symbols are not exported.
Actually I guess too much is exported as EAPI while they should be
EINTERN, but that would require manual investigation, while this patch
was basically created with sed + grep.

* Remove vim modelines:
find . -name '*.[chx]' -exec sed -i '/\/\*$/ {N;N;/ \* vim:ts/d}' \{\} \;
find . -name '*.[chx]' -exec sed -i '/\/[\*\/] *vim:/d' \{\} \;
* Remove leading blank lines:
find . -name '*.[cxh]' -exec sed -i '/./,$!d'
If you use vim, use this in your .vimrc:
