Kenny Levinsen 6183b374dd wlr_compositor: Kill the client if we cannot accept the buffer 
When the client commits a new buffer, we may need to instantiate a new
wlr_client_buffer which may cause us to import the buffer into our
active renderer, which may fail. If the import fails, we leave the old
buffer behind but otherwise proceed as normal.

If the client is resizing its window and we fail to apply a buffer of a
new size, while the client is also applying a suitable viewport src_box
for the new buffer size, we will end up with an inconsistent surface
state that will later lead to assert.

Rather than have an inconsistent surface state that can cause the entire
display server to crash on asserts later, sacrifice the client. We might
be able to do something smarter in the future.

wlroots

Pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor; or about 60,000 lines of code you were going to write anyway.

  • wlroots provides backends that abstract the underlying display and input hardware, including KMS/DRM, libinput, Wayland, X11, and headless backends, plus any custom backends you choose to write, which can all be created or destroyed at runtime and used in concert with each other.
  • wlroots provides unopinionated, mostly standalone implementations of many Wayland interfaces, both from wayland.xml and various protocol extensions. We also promote the standardization of portable extensions across many compositors.
  • wlroots provides several powerful, standalone, and optional tools that implement components common to many compositors, such as the arrangement of outputs in physical space.
  • wlroots provides an Xwayland abstraction that allows you to have excellent Xwayland support without worrying about writing your own X11 window manager on top of writing your compositor.
  • wlroots provides a renderer abstraction that simple compositors can use to avoid writing GL code directly, but which steps out of the way when your needs demand custom rendering code.

wlroots implements a huge variety of Wayland compositor features and implements them right, so you can focus on the features that make your compositor unique. By using wlroots, you get high performance, excellent hardware compatibility, broad support for many wayland interfaces, and comfortable development tools - or any subset of these features you like, because all of them work independently of one another and freely compose with anything you want to implement yourself.

Check out our wiki to get started with wlroots. Join our IRC channel: #wlroots on Libera Chat.

A variety of wrapper libraries are available for using it with your favorite programming language.

Building

Install dependencies:

  • meson
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols
  • EGL and GLESv2 (optional, for the GLES2 renderer)
  • Vulkan loader, headers and glslang (optional, for the Vulkan renderer)
  • libdrm
  • GBM (optional, for the GBM allocator)
  • libinput (optional, for the libinput backend)
  • xkbcommon
  • udev (optional, for the session)
  • pixman
  • libseat (optional, for the session)
  • hwdata (optional, for the DRM backend)
  • libdisplay-info (optional, for the DRM backend)
  • libliftoff (optional, for the DRM backend)

If you choose to enable X11 support:

  • xwayland (build-time only, optional at runtime)
  • libxcb
  • libxcb-render-util
  • libxcb-wm
  • libxcb-errors (optional, for improved error reporting)

Run these commands:

meson setup build/
ninja -C build/

Install like so:

sudo ninja -C build/ install
