Re: XWayland doable from user side or jolla required?
 

Some of the good news:
- The lipstick crash has been fixed in some recent Jolla update.
- When the Jolla keyboard TOH appears, it should work with Xwayland.

The bad news:
- Still no touch input. Possibly will make Xwayland use the 'propietary' lipstick protocols (aka the hackish solution).

Dirk will have a proto on FOSDEM could check there (can bring my non-working v1 with me, but it is non-working, so could be false negative)

Re: XWayland doable from user side or jolla required?
 

What's missing there? Is it expecting wl_touch to work? I thought that was working, but it's been a long time since I looked at that code.

Re: XWayland doable from user side or jolla required?
 

Worse: it expects wl_pointer. Either way, last time I looked at qtwayland (pre5.2...) it did not announce wl_pointer nor wl_touch; and while wl_keyword works under the VirtualBox image at least, I haven't tried anything related to keyboard layouts (which might require qtkey...).

Re: XWayland doable from user side or jolla required?
 

Ah, indeed, it looks like I was wrong.

But I would suspect that "the right thing", then, would be to look at whether or not the custom touch protocol can be ripped out in favor of wl_touch, and XWayland made to understand wl_touch?

Interesting, I hope this sees some major progress over the next 6mth or so.

What about hacking on libinput ? and expect it to be part of sfos ?

Re: XWayland doable from user side or jolla required?
 

Qt 5.5 contains support for it, so it could be used. But I don't see much advantage taking it into use -- the current code is pretty simplistic.

It's also at the wrong layer: the compositor is responsible for talking to the hardware (using evdev directly in the current case, using libinput as you're proposing) and propagating those events to clients.

Re: XWayland doable from user side or jolla required?
 

Confirming, it works!

(Note: no rotation yet, and for some reason the Xwayland window does not appear in the TOHKBD2 task switcher)
