Generic wayland protocols
Modules§
- alpha_
modifier staging
This interface allows a client to set a factor for the alpha values on a surface, which can be used to offload such operations to the compositor, which can in turn for example offload them to KMS. - commit_
timing staging
When a compositor latches on to new content updates it will check for any number of requirements of the available content updates (such as fences of all buffers being signalled) to consider the update ready. - content_
type staging
This protocol allows a client to describe the kind of content a surface will display, to allow the compositor to optimize its behavior for it. - cursor_
shape staging
andunstable
This protocol extension offers a simpler way for clients to set a cursor. - drm_
lease staging
This protocol is used by Wayland compositors which act as Direct Renderering Manager (DRM) masters to lease DRM resources to Wayland clients. - fifo
staging
When a Wayland compositor considers applying a content update, it must ensure all the update’s readiness constraints (fences, etc) are met. - fractional_
scale staging
This protocol allows a compositor to suggest for surfaces to render at fractional scales. - fullscreen_
shell unstable
Fullscreen shell protocol - idle_
inhibit unstable
Screensaver inhibition protocol - input_
method unstable
Input method protocol - input_
timestamps unstable
Input timestamps protocol - keyboard_
shortcuts_ inhibit unstable
Protocol for inhibiting the compositor keyboard shortcuts - Linux DMA-BUF protocol
- linux_
drm_ syncobj staging
This protocol allows clients to request explicit synchronization for buffers. It is tied to the Linux DRM synchronization object framework. - linux_
explicit_ synchronization unstable
Linux explicit synchronization protocol - pointer_
constraints unstable
protocol for constraining pointer motions - pointer_
gestures unstable
Pointer gestures protocol - Presentation time protocol
- primary_
selection unstable
Primary selection protocol - relative_
pointer unstable
protocol for relative pointer motion events - security_
context staging
This interface allows a client to register a new Wayland connection to the compositor and attach a security context to it. - single_
pixel_ buffer staging
This protocol extension allows clients to create single-pixel buffers. - Wayland protocol for graphics tablets
- tearing_
control staging
This protocol provides a way for clients to indicate whether or not their content is suitable for this kind of presentation. - text_
input unstable
Text input protocol - Viewporter protocol
