[PATCH] x11: do not die when used as a nested Wayland compositor (1.48 KB, patch)
2016-10-11 13:33 UTC, Olivier Fourdan 		none Details | Review

Description Olivier Fourdan 2016-10-11 13:29:56 UTC 
Description:

When running mutter nested as a wayland compositor, it keeps hitting an assert() in translate_device_event() which makes debugging particularly painful...

mutter:ERROR:backends/x11/meta-backend-x11.c:124:translate_device_event: assertion failed: (priv->mode == META_BACKEND_X11_MODE_COMPOSITOR)

How reproducible

Always

Steps to reproduce:

 - Run mutter --nested --wayland
 - Run an X11 client inside that nested mutter
 - Move the pointer in and out of the mutter nested window

Actual result:

mutter dies with:

mutter:ERROR:backends/x11/meta-backend-x11.c:124:translate_device_event: assertion failed: (priv->mode == META_BACKEND_X11_MODE_COMPOSITOR)

Expected result:

mutter doesn't die, at least not because of this assertion...

[PATCH] x11: do not die when used as a nested Wayland compositor

Probably not the right fix but enough to make "mutter --wayland --nested" usable again...

Don't seem to need this patch anymore, marking as obsolete.
