One of the major issues with the old tracking code is a data race
between the cursor thread updating g_cursor.guest and the
app_handleMouseBasic function. Specifically, the latter may have
sent mouse input via spice that has not been processed by the guest
and updated g_cursor.guest, but the guest may overwrite g_cursor.guest
to a previous state before the input is processed. This causes some
movements to be doubled. Eventually, the cursor positions will
synchronize, but this nevertheless causes a lot of jitter.
In this commit, we introduce a new field g_cursor.projected, which
is unambiguously the position of the cursor after taking into account
all the input already sent via spice. This is synced up to the guest
cursor upon entering the window and when the host restarts. Afterwards,
all mouse movements will be based on this position. This eliminates
all cursor jitter as far as I could tell.
Also, the cursor is now synced to the host position when exiting
capture mode.
A downside of this commit is that if the 1:1 movement patch is not
correctly applied, the cursor position would be wildly off instead
of simply jittering, but that is an unsupported configuration and
should not matter.
Also unsupported is when an application in guest moves the cursor
programmatically and bypassing spice. When using those applications,
capture mode must be on. Before this commit, we try to move the guest
cursor back to where it should be, but it's inherently fragile and
may lead to scenarios such as wild movements in first-person shooters.
We used to test for the EGL_KHR_platform_base and EGL_EXT_platform_base,
but those only really signal the availability of eglGetPlatformDisplay(EXT)
functions, not whether the constant EGL_PLATFORM_WAYLAND_KHR or
EGL_PLATFORM_WAYLAND_EXT is accepted by their respective functions.
Instead, we switch to test for the extensions that tells us whether the
Wayland platform is supported.
Using a macro ENABLE_OPENGL just like ENABLE_EGL to optionally remove
OpenGL implementation code. This is mostly because on Wayland it's just
a rehash of the EGL code (as EGL is the only way to create OpenGL
contexts on Wayland).
`$DISPLAY` will be set even in a Wayland session, which causes LG to
initialize itself under Xwayland unless it is explicitly compiled with
`-DENABLE_X11=OFF`.
We could add a Wayland check within the X11 backend, but reordering the
code-generated array seems like a better solution.
We ask for 32-bit colour buffer when creating the EGL context. On Wayland,
this sometimes give contexts with alpha channels, resulting in unwanted
transparency. So we clear the alpha channel in the desktop shader.
We also switch to using constant alpha for blending the splash, which
avoids more alpha issues.
As the window manager may change our mode to full screen without our
request we must ask the ds backend for the current state when we want to
toggle the mode.
When input:grabKeyboardOnFocus=no, exiting capture mode should ungrab
the keyboard. Otherwise, focusing the window doesn't grab the keyboard,
but toggling capture mode would leave the keyboard stuck in a grabbed
state until defocused.
This effectively reverts 4bceaf5.

Commit 941c651 makes working around the hang in LG itself not as
annoying as before.
In the future, we can bypass this entire issue by implementing our own
swapchain and listening to frame callbacks ourselves.
While a compositor will never send us 0-delta motion events, they can
still end up as 0-deltas post-projection, consuming QEMU buffer space
for no reason.
This should help with mouse skipping issues.
The mouse hook code is very fragile, and we would like to avoid unhooking
and re-hooking as much as possible.
After this commit, this is done only once, and the hook and 1x1 window is
only destroyed upon exit. This, of course, comes with the downside of
the slight performance penalty if the guest machine is used directly while
the host is running and the client is not running.
