This patch adds a feature to the DRM backend that uses libva for
encoding the screen contents in H.264. Screen recording can be
activated by pressing mod-shift-space q. A file named capture.h264
will be created in the current directory, which can be muxed into
an MP4 file with gstreamer using
gst-launch filesrc location=capture.h264 ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! \
filesink location=file.mp4
This is limitted to the DRM compositor in order to avoid a copy when
submitting the front buffer to libva. The code in vaapi-recorder.c
takes a dma_buf fd referencing it, does a colorspace conversion using
the video post processing pipeline and then uses that as input to the
encoder.
I'm sending this now so I get comments, but this is not ready for
prime time yet. I have a somewhat consistent GPU hang when using
i915 with SandyBridge. Sometimes a page flip never completes. If you
want to try this anyway and your system get stuck, you might need to
run the following:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_wedged
After that, alt-sysrq [rv] should work.
Once that's fixed it would also be good to make the parameters used by
the encoder more flexible. For now the QP parameter is hardcoded to 0
and we have only I and P frames (no B frames), which causes the
resulting files to be very large.

Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding weston and its dependencies.
