While the --backend parameter looks like it takes a file name, it really
is selected from a list of supported strings that are then funneled
through a translation to enum weston_compositor_backend [1].
Because all backend parameters are of the form "...-backend.so", and
writing "--backend=...-backend.so" is boring, allow the --backend option
to match the backend name without "-backend.so" suffix instead.
For example, this allows to use "--backend=headless" instead of
"--backend=headless-backend.so".
Update help text and documentation. Keep the old way working for
backwards compatibility.

Some monitors expose a selector for the kind of content that will get
displayed, allowing them to optimise their settings for this particular
content type.
I got access to such a monitor, sadly even setting it to game mode
didn’t lower its atrocious latency, but drm_info[1] reports it to be set
correctly so hopefully it’ll work better with other monitors.

As things are, even when mode=current is specified on the .ini file,
a full modeset is needed (and done), which causes a very noticeable
screen blinking. That is because setting the max_bpc on a connector
needs full modesetting.
The idea here is that if mode=current on the .ini, no modesetting
should be done, so the current max_bpc is programmed into the
connector.
But if a custom max-bpc=... is specified, that will be used instead,
even if mode=current on the .ini

The supplied path for executing the shell client could contain potential
arguments and not only the binary itself. Specifying the platform either
by using an argument (-platform wayland) or using an environmental

an example on why this might be useful to have in.

This adds an option to program basic display color characteristics from
weston.ini. In the future there will be a way to set this information
from EDID, but because EDID is unreliable that will probably not be the
default. An ICC profile will likely override most or all of this. The
main reason to add this option is to be able to characterise HDR
monitors.
An 'output' section can have a key 'color_characteristics' (string)
set to a name. The name refers to any 'color_characteristics' section
with 'name' set to the same string.
The 'name' key of a 'color_characteristics' section cannot contain a
colon ':'. Names with colon in 'output' section key
'color_characteristics' value are reserved for future use, e.g. to
indicate that the metadata is to be taken from EDID instead of a
weston.ini section.

Trying to do HDR with XRGB8888 is a bit like using RGB565 on SDR: you
get visible color quantization and banding in gradients (without dithering
which Weston does not implement yet, and might not work too well for HDR
anyway).
Therefore, on any HDR mode, default output framebuffer format to 10 bpc
instead of 8 bpc.
Ideally we'd also optionally try 16F or 16 bpc formats, but automatic
fallbacks for those are more complicated to arrange. You can still
configure 16F or 16 bpc manually.
This patch also moves the default format setting from
drm_output_set_gbm_format() to drm_output_enable(), because setting the
default now requires eotf_mode. Frontends may call set_gbm_format()
first and set eotf_mode next. This does create an awkward situation for
outputs that a frontend disables and re-enables. This patch here makes
sure that the old output configuration remains, but changing eotf_mode
may not change the default format. One needs to call
set_gbm_format(NULL) to re-evaluate the default format. Resetting the
format on drm_output_deinit() would lose the current setting.
DRM_FORMAT_INVALID was introduced in libdrm 2.4.95 which we already
hard-depend on.

This patch allows a bound socket fd (as opposed to a client

to the rdp backend. WSLg uses this to set up an AF_VSOCK

With commit 'screen-share: Add option to start screen sharing on weston
star' an section option has been added to start screen-sharing by
default on all outputs. This has the side-effect of attempting to start

use a different configuration file to avoid that.

Fbdev backend was deprecated in the Weston 10.0.0 release with
6338dbd581. Before that, I suggested
already in 2019 to remove it, but it was too soon then. Now it seems the
final voices asking for fbdev to be kept have been satisfied, see the
linked issue.
Fbdev-backend uses a kernel graphics UAPI (fbdev) which is sub-par for a
Wayland compositor: you cannot do GPU accelerated graphics in any
reasonable way, no hotplug support, multi-output support is tedious, and
so on. Most importantly, Linux has deprecated fbdev a long time ago due
to the UAPI fitting modern systems and use cases very poorly, but cannot
get rid of it if any users remain. Let's do here what we can to reduce
fbdev usage.
I am doing color management related additions to libweston which require
adding checks to every backend. One backend less is less churn to write
and review.
Libweston major version has already been bumped to 11, so the next
release will be Weston 11, without fbdev. enum weston_compositor_backend
entries change their numerical values.

This adds "icc_profile" key support in [output] sections for backends
headless, x11, wayland, and drm, and also for remoted and pipewire
outputs FWIW. On the other hand, RDP-backend does not use output
sections from weston.ini, and fbdev-backend does not deserve anything
new (it wouldn't support color management anyway due to no GL-renderer).
This allows one to configure an ICC v2 or v4 file to be used as an
output profile. However, color-lcms does not actually use output
profiles yet, so trying this will fail until support is implemented.
The parent_winsys_profile argument is reserved for using the color
profile from a parent window system where applicable, if nothing else is
set in weston.ini. None of the nested backends provide an output color
profile yet. It is more of a reminder of a missing feature than a
serious implementation.
Note: cms-static Weston plugin uses the exact same weston.ini key for
loading VCGT from ICC profiles. If "color-management" option is set to
false, this new use of "icc_profile" is disabled and the old behavior
with cms-static is kept.
