Mouse move deltas greater then 10 are rare, let alone the 20 this code
now uses. Any movements that exceed 20 pixels will disable the exit
detection code path preventing rapid movements in FPV games from causing
the cursor to exit the window if autoCapture is enabled.
As we now are using our own backends instead of SDL, there is no longer
any need to warp back to the center of the window when in autoCapture
mode. This breaks the SDL ds backend behaviour, however as SDL is
planned to be removed this is not an issue.
The $escape+S keybinding now cycles through the available scale algorithms.
This allows the user to switch between algorithms if the automatic detection
turns out to be problematic.
The algorithms are renumbered so that 0 can be LG_SCALE_AUTO.
Reusing cached EGLImages while the frame format has changed will result
in visual artifacts. We should instead destroy the EGLImages and let
them be recreated.
Instead of duplicating the #defines from the shader into the C code,
this commit adds a custom CMake rule that exports all the #defines
from a shader into a C header.
This commit fixes the issues with the meaning of useNearest being flipped
by removing the variable and use enumerations.
We define an enumeration EGL_DesktopScaleType to express the type of scaling
needed to be performed: no scaling, upscaling, or downscaling. This is
updated when either the frame size or the viewport size changes.
Previously, we only updated the useNearest when the frame size changes.
The desktop shader can now support an enumeration of scaling algorithms,
although only nearest and linear are currently implemented.
Like before, nearest is used when not scaling or upscaling, and linear is
used when downscaling.
The Wayland display server is getting unwieldy due to the sheer size.
To make it easier to edit in the future, I split it into many components
based on logical boundaries.
This is enabled on default. Specify wayland:warpSupport=no to disable it,
which may be useful on certain compositors that do not warp when the
pointer is confined.
This commit implements support for LG_DS_WARP_SURFACE, as well as a warp
routine based on cursor confines.
This may not necessarily work for all compositors. As such, the old cursor
routines are still kept, and used when wm.warpSupport is set to false.
This commit converts the output of ds->getProp(LG_DS_WARP_SUPPORT) to
an enum containing three items:
* LG_DS_WARP_NONE: warp is not supported at all
* LG_DS_WARP_SURFACE: warp is possible, but only inside the window
* LG_DS_WARP_SCREEN: warp is possible anywhere on the screen
LG_DS_WARP_NONE corresponds to the old false return value, and
LG_DS_WARP_SCREEN corresponds to the old true return value.
LG_DS_WARP_SURFACE is designed for Wayland, where warping is possible,
but only in our window. In this case, since we cannot warp outside
the window, we can warp the cursor to the edge when we attempt to exit.
If the cursor leaves, the normal leave routine gets called, and the
cursor disappears. If the cursor does not end up leaving, we grab it
again.
This makes dealing with window manager shortcuts that overlap with guest
keys more pleasant, while retaining the previous functionality for users
who prefer it.
For instance, previously, using Alt+Tab (or $mod as Alt in i3/sway
movement commands) would result in the guest retaining Alt as pressed.
When the guest regained focus, it would continue thinking Alt is
pressed, leading to accidentally triggering obscure shortcuts. One had
to remember to press Alt again to "unstick" things, which was
suboptimal.
This commit forces the DMA'd memory to be copied into the texture in
the EGL on_frame handler. This avoids tearing when the LG host inevitably
updates the underlying memory. We need an additional copy inside the GPU,
but this is cheap compared to copying from system memory.
We could have used logic to lock the memory buffer, but that would require
performing DMA on every frame, which wastes memory bandwidth. This
manifests as reduced frame rate when moving the mouse compared to the
non-DMA implementation.
We also keep multiple EGLImages, one for each DMA fd, to avoid issues
with the OpenGL driver.
This new implementation uses a special mimetype to tag data copied from
the guest, instead of using flags. This should make it easier to
implement asynchronous transfers in the future. Also, it's simpler to
understand and less error-prone.
The pid is included in the mimetype in order to distinguish between
different instances of looking glass: you might want to copy between
two different VMs, for example.
This commit adds a new option, win:autoScreensaver, which when set to yes,
automatically disables the screensaver when requested by an application
running in the guest, and enables it when the application no longer wants
it disabled.
This is useful when doing media playback in the guest.
It appears that the keyboard should only be grabbed if the client is
focused and the cursor is in the view. However, the relevant logic was
missing from core_setCursorInView, and the keyboard was never actually
grabbed.
This commit adds the call to g_state.ds->grabKeyboard(), allowing grabbing
to work.
Before, if you want to see the FPS, you need to close the client and
restart it with the -k switch to see the FPS. This is annoying.
This PR introduces a new keybind, ScrollLock+D, which, when pressed,
toggles the display of the FPS.
This is implemented for both EGL and OpenGL backends.
egl_help_set_text and egl_help_render were both accessing bmp->help from
different threads. This creates a race condition in which if the help text
is quickly toggled on and off, it stays on.
This has been fixed with an atomic exchange.
This should prevent the looking-glass-client window from having an alpha
channel. On Wayland, the alpha channel is used to compose the window onto
the desktop, so the wallpaper would bleed through unless set to complete
opaque.
We worked around this by using constant alpha for rendering, but it was
not sustainable. Instead, we should just ask for 24-bit context.
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.
Upstream ticket: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/4180
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.
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).
If the renderer fails to start it sets the run state to stopped, having
lgInit where it was causes this to be reset to running triggering
invalid usage of g_state.lgmp.
Under some circumstances, Looking Glass can hang when SIGINT'd, for
instance, if it's stuck waiting on spice I/O that won't complete because
the guest is misbehaving.
This commit provides an escape hatch for such cases, so one doesn't have
to reach for `kill -9 $(pidof looking-glass-client)`.
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.
It does not make sense to accumulate fractional error in non-capture mode
as you know exactly where the cursor is supposed to be, at least on Wayland.
On Wayland, we base movements on the current guest position and desired
target position, and the accumulated errors only skew our movements.
Build failed with _FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled because the compiler couldn't

When using the meta resize feautre the cursor is over the client window,
and as such the application continues to receive motion events. This
causes the window size to spaz out.
As the screen output rotation can be changed on the fly, if it has been
rotated to 90 or 270 the nearest flag will be incorrect, so we perform
this check here and override the provided value.
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.
If the guest has it's output rotated (ie, landscape) we must rotate and
translate the pointer draw location, as well as all the translations of
cursor coordinate spaces based on the rotation, along with any local
rotations that may also be applied.
It appears that Wayland pointer motion handlers are called even when relative
mouse mode is enabled. The events they generate break first-person games.
This commit disables those handlers when relative mouse is enabled.
Unless the corresponding mouse down event was on our surface, we should
not be receiving the mouse up.
This is always the case on Wayland. On some other platforms,
SDL_CaptureMouse can be used to obtain input that happens outside the
Looking Glass surface, but Looking Glass does not make use of that
function.
We may want to process a mouse up if the corresponding mouse down
initiated a drag (e.g., of a window) that was released slightly outside
of the Looking Glass surface. Previously, Looking Glass would ignore the
mouse up, and the guest would be confused into thinking the button had
never been released, not ending the drag.
zwp_relative_pointer_manager_v1 and zwp_pointer_constraints_v1 are
supported by GNOME/KDE/sway (and most other compositors), but they are
not a required part of the protocol.
Some users also run software in one-off nested compositors like cage[0]
for an extra layer of isolation; cage, at least, does not support
pointer captures.
This commit makes Looking Glass warn when an optional protocol is
unsupported, and fail if a required one is missing. Pointer grab paths
have a new guard against the aforementioned protocols being missing.

We are actually getting mouse events directly from Wayland instead of going
through SDL, so we call app_updateCursorPos in pointer motion handlers and
swallow the SDL event.
Also removed parameters for app_handleMouseBasic as it relies exclusively on
absolute positions provided by app_updateCursorPos. Wayland does not give
you relative movements at all unless grabbed and passing absolute movements
is semantically incorrect.
Note that when the cursor is grabbed, movements are handled entirely through
relativePointerMotionHandler in wayland.c and does not go through
app_handleMouseBasic at all.
If the guest cursor state & position is unknown we can not rely on the
information to detect edge crossings. As such only allow cursor input if
LG is operating in capture mode.
Platforms such as Wayland have no abillity to warp the cursor, as such
can not operate in an always relative mode. This property allows
platforms to report the lack of warp support and prevent LG from
grabbing the pointer.
Some platforms such as Wayland need to set environment vairables before
SDL is initialized, as such this change detects the display server
before SDL has started and calls the new `earlyInit` method providing
the implementation an opportunity to set things up.
When capture mode is set if the cursor is not already in the view area
we need to force it to the state it would be if it were in view as
capture mode overrides all.
The pointer may not yet be in the view area so we should defer drawing
it until the mouse move handler determines that it's inside the view
area and turn it on itself.
As LG always operates in relitive mode, the actual pointer grab/ungrab
is managed by the move handler, as such setGrabQuiet should not alter
the grab/ungrab state of the local pointer.
The prototype for abs is int abs (int n), which implicitly casts floating
point values to integers. The correct function is fabs.
This commit allows the client to compile under clang.
gcc -Wimplicit-fallthrough only detects comments if they are immediately
preceded before the next label. Braces stops it from recognizing the
fallthrough comment.
-Wno-sign-compare is used to suppress warnings related to comparing signed
values with unsigned ones. It's too pedantic.
-Wunused-parameter is also too pedantic, especially since all parameters
have to be named in C.
Otherwise, -Wextra lets us catch bugs, such as x < 0 for unsigned x.
On gcc, we pass -Wimplicit-fallthrough=2 so it will recognize our fall
through comment.
This makes it a compile-time error to call a function that semantically
takes no parameters with a nonzero number of arguments.
Previously, such code would still compile, but risk blowing up the stack
if a compiler chose to use something other than caller-cleanup calling
conventions.
Copying rich text from the guest would be turned into plaintext on the client.
Prior to this change, this would be sent back to the guest, overwriting its
clipboard. This made it impossible to copy rich text inside the guest.
This commit detects such self-copies by checking if the receiver is the
current process, and rejecting it.
This prevents looking-glass-client from failing with an error message like:
error marshalling arguments for receive (signature sh): null value passed for arg 0
Error marshalling request: Invalid argument
When input:grabKeyboardOnFocus is set (default), entering capture mode grabs
the keyboard a second time. This commit makes the second grab a no-op on
Wayland to avoid a crash.
Previously, main.c would segfault at runtime if clipboards were disabled
via cmake flags, as the clipboards array would be empty but still
indexed during initialization.

Otherwise, a badly-behaving client causes Looking Glass to receive a
SIGPIPE during Wayland copy operations. Handle EPIPE at call-sites
instead.

The normal logic does not work due to Wayland not supporting mouse warp.
We use a simple logic that works for the desktop with 1:1 mouse patch and
require capture mode for all other cases.

==7680==ABORTING
On Wayland, SDL_WINDOWEVENT_CLOSE is sent even when exiting with keyboard
shortcuts. This meant that the client is still closed even with -Q.
We now swallow SDL_WINDOWEVENT_CLOSE if the cursor is inside the VM. This
should prevent keyboard shortcuts from closing the client, while still
allowing the window to be closed by clicking X with the mouse per #138.
Rapid movements in games can cause large detas that may cause the client
to allow the mouse to exit when this is not desired. This change
attempts to limit this by ignoring movements large movements when using
this mode.
This new mode if enabled (disabled by default) will cause the client to
attempt to hold onto the mouse when a title/game has it captured in the
guest. This is best effort and is not a replacement for full capture
mode.
This option allows those that want it (gamers) to bypass all X11 mouse
acceleration and smoothing giving true 1:1 input to the guest while in
capture mode. Note: only supported for X11!
While using the RAW movement data sounds like a good idea the user
experience is quite bad as the mouse acceleration between host and guest
changes entering capture mode. This change alters this behaviour to use
the values after processing by the X server while retaining the simpler
code path for capture mode.
x11 serials are per server command, not per event, as such several
events may be processed by the server before a new event is received
causing the existing logic to fail. This changes the logic to check for
a larger serial instead of an exact match, and confirms the completion
of the warp by matching the target x/y.
Previously only up to two pending warp requests were possible, this
changes this so that additional warps can be queued if the cursor's
delta has moved more then 50px between each warp request.
The old code also had an error where it would null out any additional
movement since the warp was requested, but before it was processed, this
has been corrected.
This fixes an issue where the warp to center could break as the user
moves their cursor slowly over one of the bottom or right edges of the
screen while it's letterboxed.
As X11 is a server/client protocol, issuing commands such as
XWarpPointer do not happen immediately, as such we need to identify when
the warp is complete to know to null out the movement. To do this we
track each warp issued and look for it's completion in the event filter.
As some events come in via XInput2 we need to also make use of this
instead of just relying on MotionNotify, as such the support has been
implemented for XI_Motion events.
DXGI DesktopDuplication does not send cursor positional updates when the
cursor is hidden, this happens when dragging a window around or when a
full screen application takes/hides the cursor. If this happened at the
same time as a resolution switch we don't know where the cursor really
is anymore.
If active this will prevent the client from sending keyboard events for
the windows key. The idea is to allow people to keep the windows key
bound to their WMs default action without causing the Windows start menu
to open
Some setups (e.g. Wayland) have high precision scroll wheel input, such
that the y-delta on an event may exceed 1. In these cases, scrolling up
currently gets treated as scrolling down.
This commit changes the checks to use > 0 rather than == 1.
This is the approach suggested in
https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_MouseWheelEvent.
This commit makes Looking Glass always use the OpenGL renderer when
running on Wayland. The EGL renderer is broken on Wayland and can't
reasonably be fixed until SDL is dropped entirely (as per
https://github.com/gnif/LookingGlass/issues/306).
Until that time, the OpenGL renderer provides a much better
Wayland-native experience.
This change allows us to look for and filter out the warp completion
event as we can obtain and use the serial number of the warp request to
do so. This is far more elegant then the x/y match that we were doing
prior.
eglSwapBuffers is allowed to block when called with a nonzero interval
parameter. On Wayland, Mesa will block until a frame callback arrives.
If an application is not visible, a compositor is free to not schedule
frame callbacks (in order to save CPU time rendering something that is
entirely invisible).
Currently, starting Looking Glass from a terminal, hiding it
entirely, and sending ^C will cause Looking Glass to hang joining the
render thread until the window is made visible again.
Calling eglDestroySurface is insufficient to unblock eglSwapBuffers, as
it attempts to grab the same underlying mutex.
Instead, this commit makes it so that we pass a 0 interval to
eglSwapBuffers when running on Wayland, such that we don't block waiting
for a frame callback. This is not entirely ideal as it *does* mean
Looking Glass submits buffers while hidden, but it seems better than
hanging on exit.
It also forces opengl:vsync and egl:vsync flags to off when running on
Wayland, as they are meaningless there.
Note: This only works with the KVMFR kernel module in a VM->VM
configuration. If this causes issues it can be disabled with the new
option `app:allowDMA`
This new option, when enabled (the default) enables cursor movements to
trigger frame updates in the client, improving responsiveness at the
cost of increased FPS while the mouse is moving around.
This commit bumps the KVMFR protocol version as it adds additional
hotspot x & y fields to the KVMFRCursor struct. This corrects the issue
of invalid alignment of the local mouse when the shape has an offset
such as the 'I' beam.
Since we only ever use offset movements as SPICE doesn't properly
support absolute x/y positional information without a virtual tablet
device (which breaks relative mode needed for capture), just always run
in this mode. This fixes an issue when the spice guest tools are
installed and the mouse fails to work when not captured.
The texture buffer may still be in use if we try to re-map it
immediately, instead only map when we need it mapped, and unmap
immediately after advancing the offset allowing the render thread to
continue while the unmap operation occurs
This is a major change to how the LG client performs it's updates. In
the past LG would operate a fixed FPS regardless of incoming update
speed and/or frequency. This change allows LG to dynamically increase
it's FPS in order to better sync with the guest as it's rate changes.
POSIX `send` is thread safe, to take advantage of this the code has been
changed to construct a contiguous buffer and perform the send in a
single operation preventing any risk of a race condition.
Only the main channel still requires an interlock as the VD agent
requires multiple sends to transmit a full buffer.
xinput2 is used to get touch interface events with the side effect of
consuming MotionNotify events which we use because of SDL2's inability
to correctly track the window size. Since we are not that intertested in
touch for our usecase, we just turn the events off again.
Returning -1 from a function with bool as return argument is the same as
returning true. If the channel is not connected, return false instead to
indicate the error.
[Why]
Recent versions of Mesa may have trouble with surface creation, resulting in
errors like:
egl.c:428 | egl_render_startup | Failed to create EGL surface (eglError: 0x300b)
[How]
Replace eglGetDisplay() with eglGetPlatformDisplay(). Requires EGL 1.5, but should
be supported with any desktop driver released in the past few years.
This changes the method of the memory copy from the host application to
the guest. Instead of performing a full copy from the capture device
into shared memory, and then flagging the new frame, we instead set a
write pointer, flag the client that there is a new frame and then copy
in chunks of 1024 bytes until the entire frame is copied. The client
upon seeing the new frame flag begins to poll at high frequency the
write pointer and upon each update copies as much as it can into the
texture.
This should improve latency but also slightly increase CPU usage on the
client due to the high frequency polling.
This patch increases the default cursor and frame polling interval from
1us to 1000us which for most use cases should be more then fast enough.
It also adds two new configuration options to adjust these should it be
required:
* app:cursorPollInterval
* app:framePollInterval
While it is recommended to use memory barriers when updating a buffer
like we are, since we double buffer it is unlikely we will corrupt a
prior frame, and even if we do since it's just texture data at worst
we might see a tear.
This feture is to allow the use of the key combination <super>+N to
increase the brightness of the screen when using monitors with poor
backlighting. Can help in some games.
N = Night vision
Make sure glViewport gets called as soon as we know the window
dimensions, otherwise nothing gets rendered until KVMFR communication is
established (mostly the splash).
Without the fix, './looking-glass-client -s' behaves differently than
'./looking-glass-client -s -F' in that the latter triggers a
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_SIZE_CHANGED and updates the viewport immediately after
window creation while the former doesn't and all rendering is delayed
until the frameThread successfully decodes the first frame.
As all the possible ways of updating the viewport (window creation,
window size change, frame size change) are covered with
updatePositionInfo(), the 'started' state becomes redundant and is
removed.
Note: this might be the wrong way to fix it (possible driver bug?),
glViewport's specification mentions that the default viewport size
matches the window size when the GL context is first attached.

When this was first developed the official spice client was used as an example refrence, however upon inspecting the source of spice-server it has been determined that there is no server side queueing going on, and acks are simply sent after every 4 to reduce bandwidth.
SPICEC_ERROR_CODE_xxx constants are supposed to be used by old
client (obsoleted years ago).
SpiceLinkReply error field uses SPICE_LINK_ERR_xxx enumeration
constants.

Minimal systems in cases may not have XDG_SESSION_TYPE set at all, causing the program to segfault at the `strcmp`. This commit sets XDG_SESSION_TYPE to `unspecified` (according to https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/pam_systemd.html) if it is not defined in the environment.
* [client]: ignore Alt-F4 in ignoreQuit mode
* [client]: turn down the SNR for SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_NO_CLOSE_ON_ALT_F4
* [client]: turn down the SNR for SDL_HINT_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS
The compiled xlib-shim.so can be used to intercept and prevent SDL
from calling XSync, which causes latency issues on some video
hardware.
To use specify the full path to the file in the LD_PRELOAD
environment variable, like so:
LD_PRELOAD=/full/path/xlib-shim.so ./looking-glass
This fixes a race condition which causes the mouse ringbuffer to
overflow. It also corrects out of order message index IDs due to
multiple threads sending messages asyncronously.
This partially resolves lag issues on hosts running the amdgpu driver.
If mouse caputure is enable the lag issue returns, this is because SDL
calls `XSync` in `X11_WarpMouse` and `X11_WarpMouseGlobal`, if these
calls are removed all input lag issues dissapear.
This issue has been reported to SDL as the calls to `XSync` are not
required per the xlib documentation.
the client now will look for a configuration file in the following
locations by default.
* /etc/looking-glass.conf
* ~/.looking-glass.conf
All configuration files are loaded and may override values specified by
any prior configuration files loaded.
Sample Config:
global:
{
fullScreen=false;
showFPS=true;
x=0;
y=0;
w=800;
h=600;
}
OpenGL:
{
mipmap="false";
}
Since we do not use IRQs anymore we can use the ivshmem-plain device
which doesn't need the ivshmem-server. The QEMU arguments now should be
as follows:
-device ivshmem-plain,memdev=ivshmem
-object memory-backend-file,id=ivshmem,share=on,mem-path=/dev/shm/looking-glass,size=32M
Obviously adjusting the memory size as required. It is suggested that
the shared memory file be created before the guest is started with the
appropriate permissions, for example:
touch /dev/shm/looking-glass
chown user:kvm /dev/shm/looking-glass
chmod 660 /dev/shm/looking-glass
The prior patch to correct the mouse loop resolves the CPU load issue
with the atomic locking method. SDL mutexes are still available if
desired but full mutex locking is far slower then fast spinlocks
This is the first of two commits that completely turn the rendering code
on it's head. This change set decouples the guest's capture rate from
the host's render rate for both cursor and frame updates. This helps
prevent the host application from stalling when waiting for frame draws
when all it want's to do is send cursor updates.
* Breaks OpenGL-Basic for now
This feature was previously hardcoded enabled, it is now optional as
some hardware pipelines stall with the excessive flushes resulting in a
jumpy cursor. Default is disabled and may be re-enabled with
`-o opengl:splitmouse=1` or `-o opengl-basic:splitmouse=1` depending on
the renderer selected.

Per issue #11 on some cards this method performs much better then the
persistant buffering used in the standard OpenGL renderer.
Closes#11
While the function `ivshmem_wait_irq` makes use of the select(3)
function, it does not include <sys/select.h>. This happens to work on
glibc based systems, which include thet file transitively via other
header files. But on musl libc based systems, this breaks compilation.
Directly include <sys/select.h> to fix the problem.
This adds back in double buffering and vsync support. This has been
carefully implemented so that the render function blocks until the video
card reports that it has advanced a frame, this ensures that the OpenGL
pipeline never buffers frames.
