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.
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.
Before this, copying rich text ends up with a lot of funky behaviour,
for example:
* copying text from Discord shows up as HTML unless pasted into a text
editor first
* copying text from Firefox shows up as the single letter h
This commit fixes all the above issues.
Due to the change in logic, we now use the first text format offered
instead of the last, which is almost certainly the preferred form.
Doing this gets us proper Unicode support, or Unicode characters would
end up as escapes of the form \uXXXX (this is used in the fallback
forms for applications without UTF-8 support).
We are forced to use accelerated movement in regular mode as that is how the
host machine cursor moves and we want the cursors to line up (since Wayland
cannot do warps). To avoid a change in sensitivity when toggling capture
mode on/off, we should use accelerated deltas for capture mode as well,
unless the user explicitly asks for raw input with input:rawMouse.
This is an ugly hack for now that will get us over the line for Beta 3,
after which will need to be addressed and people will need to be
informed that their configured escape key will have changed.
