If the guest is not sending frames at a constant rate, the minimum FPS
timeout may expire drawing an additional frame. This change calculates
the average ups frame time over the past 100ms and adds this to the
timeout value allowing this value to be dynamic.
The accumulated time is not the best way to do this as the timer
function callback may not be exactly every 1000ms, by using the
monotonic clock we will get more accurate results.
A resolution switch could cause the renderer state to become invalid as
the texture format may change while it's being rendered. This fixes this
by adding a lock around the format change and render calls to the
renderer.
This option controls the time period (in ms) after which the help menu
appears when holding down the escape key. After this time period,
capture mode is no longer toggled.
This fixes#527.
When users press escapeKey for a long time, they probably want to
see the help text instead of actually toggling capture. Therefore,
if the key is held down for more than 500 ms, we assume the user
wants to look at the help text and do not toggle capture mode.
500 ms seems to be a decent compromise, allowing slow presses, but
is not enough time for the user to have looked at the help text.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
