Time to discuss graphics tablet support in weston: I had a patchset for some earlier version of the tablet protocol, since then we've added a few bits and bobs, including the mode switching support.
Short story behind this email is: I seriously question the point of having a tablet implementation in weston. I know it's supposed to be the test bed for protocols (fwiw, we already have mutter + GTK support for tablets). But in order to test this particular protocol, a lot of supporting infrastructure has to be there that libtoytoolkit doesn't have. In addition, there are a couple of things to be added to the compositor support, especially for mode switching, that I question the value of having this in weston at all [1]. Some or most of this work will likely end up being an unused (and thus untested) code path, the compositors that care about a niche feature like graphics tablet support are unlikely to be the ones that use libweston. So right now, I'm tending to *not* implementing tablet support for weston. Any opinions? Yay? Nay? Banana!? Cheers, Peter [1] yes, you can attribute some of all this to laziness _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
