Summary: fbdev-backend backend appears it can't just USE a TTY.
It must be run ON a tty to work.
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: NEW
Version: 1.0.90
Component: weston
Product: Wayland
Hi.
It will appear that when using the fbdev-backend backend, that I can't just
pass --tty=2 to use tty2 when I call weston directly as root.
I have to call weston directly as root in my loginmanager. And I can't use
weston-launch because it nukes the custom XDG_RUNTIME_DIR I am using for it.
If I just pass weston --tty=2 --backend=fbdev-backend.so, it starts hijacking
all the ttys, if I switch to a text tty, and move the mouse, it starts drawing
over it.
I noticed that when I called weston like this, it does not seem to operate
under a tty when I check the process under ps
As a workaround, I now call it open with openvt -c $TTY -- weston --tty=$tty .
When I do this, it works correctly, and when I look at the process under ps, it
is running on the tty
So it appears that if the fbdev-backend backed weston is not confined to a tty,
it tries to take over everything.
I hope I'm clear enough in my wording.
