setWindowSize is called from the render, frame and transport threads, but shellResize issues shell requests and, with the libdecor GTK plugin, renders the window decorations through pango, none of which is thread safe. A frame thread exiting after such a call crashed in the pango fontmap destructor during thread teardown. Publish the requested size atomically and wake the event loop through an eventfd registered in the epoll; the poll callback applies the size on the event-loop thread. Concurrent requests coalesce into the most recent one.
Looking Glass
Looking Glass lets you use a Windows virtual machine from Linux with very low display and input latency. The current recommended setup uses the Looking Glass Indirect Display Driver (IDD) in the Windows guest and the Looking Glass Client on the Linux host.
- Project Website: https://looking-glass.io
- Documentation: https://looking-glass.io/docs
Start here
The Linux client is currently distributed as source code and must be built before it can be installed. The end-user guide covers the complete process:
- Build the Linux client.
- Configure shared memory for the virtual machine.
- Install the Looking Glass IDD in Windows.
- Install and run the client.
See the Looking Glass documentation for the current requirements and setup guide.
