Hi, what I suggested is not about code for overlapping outputs at all. I'm simply suggesting to hack e.g. weston_output_repaint() or something to ignore the accumulated damage and use full damage instead. I can't tell you exactly what and where without doing it myself first, which I cannot do at the moment. The other catch is to actually configure two weston_outputs to cover the same area of the desktop. I'm not sure if the existing libweston API is sufficient for that, but it certainly has not been designed for that. Again, I cannot tell you exactly, sorry. Maybe weston_output_move or such would be enough? I'm not sure. Right now the layout code is hardcoded and hidden inside libweston, and you need to overwrite its outcome. Thanks, pq
