Daniel Stone 2c3693bf2e frontend: Use short-form names for shell argument
Instead of passing --shell=foo-shell.so, just pass --shell=foo, whilst
accepting the old form for compatibility.

Whilst we're at it, document the --shell argument in the manpage and
README.

Philipp Zabel 84c10124cd compositor: support loading backend via shortened name
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.

Marek Vasut b02149e43b screen-share: Add option to start screen sharing on weston startup
Currently the screen sharing has to be manually started after weston has
started by pressing Ctrl+Alt+S on a keyboard. Add new bool config option
to the screen-share section which permits starting the screen sharing of
all outputs on weston start up. This is useful e.g. for doing screen
mirroring between two devices over network.

Eric Toombs 6e229ca263 weston: add more libinput config options
This is so that, for instance, people using weston as their main Wayland
compositor can invert the sense of two finger scrolling or change
pointer acceleration using weston.ini, rather than having to edit C
code.

All of the options that libinput itself exposes through its API are now
exposed in weston.ini.  The new options are called `tap-and-drag`,
`tap-and-drag-lock`, `disable-while-typing`, `middle-emulation`,
`left-handed`, `rotation`, `accel-profile`, `accel-speed`,
`scroll-method`, `natural-scroll`, and `scroll-button`. I have
successfully tested everything except for `rotation`, out of a lack of
hardware support.

weston now depends directly on libevdev for turning button name strings into
kernel input codes. This was needed for the `scroll-button` config
option. (weston already depends indirectly on libevdev through
libinput, so I figured people would be OK with this.) As a practical
matter for debian-style packagers, weston now has a build dependency on
libevdev-dev.

Right now, the code applies the same options to all attached devices
that a given option is relevant for. There are plans for multiple
[libinput] sections, each with different device filters, for users who
need more control here.

Eric Toombs 9d2220380a weston: deprecate enable_tap in favour of enable-tap
This is to increase consistency in config option naming in weston.ini.
(Prefer hyphens over underscores to separate words.)

If enable_tap is present in weston.ini, an obnoxious error message is
logged with weston_log(). In terms of configuration, if enable-tap is
present, enable_tap is ignored.

As an option, allow to specify a mode (from the configuration file) by
its refresh rate.
Example of valid syntax:
- "mode=1920x1080"    Select a 1920x1080 mode, refresh rate undefined.
- "mode=1920x1080@60" Select the (or one of the) 1920x1080 60 Hz mode.

Daniel Díaz 75b7197f4e Add configuration option for no input device.
As it has been discussed in the past [1], running Weston
without any input device at launch might be beneficial for
some use cases.

Certainly, it's best for the vast majority of users (and
the project) to require an input device to be present, as
to avoid frustration and hassle, but for those brave souls
that so prefer, this patch lets them run without any input
device at all.

This introduces a simple configuration in weston.ini:
  [core]
  require-input=true

True is the default, so no behavioral change is introduced.

Armin Krezović c6a55dbf04 desktop-shell: make panel clock configurable
This patch enhances the panel clock by adding a config file
option which can be used to either disable the clock or make
it also show seconds in the current clock format.

v2: Implement suggestions from Pekka:
    - Include Signed-off-by
    - Coding style fixes
    - Implement clock widget allocation by using
      width from cairo_text_extents
    - Highlight config option values in man page
v3: Implement suggestions from Pekka and Bryce:
    - Use CLOCK_FORMAT_* instead of FORMAT_* in the enum
    - Switch to using fixed clock widget size instead
      of one returned from cairo_text_extents
    - Fixes to config option highlighting in the man page
v4: Implement more suggestions from Pekka and Bryce:
    - Improve patch changelog
    - Move the check for CLOCK_FORMAT_NONE into the
      caller function
    - Fix a memory leak in panel_create introduced by
      previous revision of this patch

Pekka Paalanen b37ac4006a desktop-shell: remove screensaver support
This is a follow-up for the patch that removed weston-screensaver. The
aim is to clean up shell.c a little by removing non-essential
components. Vanilla Weston desktop is only a demo, external projects are
encouraged to create user-friendly desktop environments.

The support for launching a screensaver client and the protocol bindings
are removed. With them, all related configuration options are removed,
and the manuals are updated accordingly.

The screensaver protocol definition is left in desktop-shell.xml for
posterity.

This does not affect Weston's or desktop-shells ability to put screens
to sleep after inactivity. The inactivity timer continues to operate as
before. Also screen locking is unaffected.

Andrew Wedgbury dfd9d0de96 screen-share: Allow fullscreen shell command to be configured
I've updated this based on comments, simplifying the command handling.

Currently the screen-share module uses a hard-coded command to start the
fullscreen shell server. This patch causes the module to read the command from
the weston config file (from the "command" key in the "screen-share" section).
The default value remains the same (i.e. to run weston with the RDP backend and
fullscreen shell), but is now located in the weston config file.

As well as allowing the arguments to the fullscreen shell server to be changed,
this also permits an alternative fullscreen shell server to be used if required,
without needing to recompile. Since the command is run as the user running
weston, this should not pose any additional security risk.

Jason Ekstrand 671a1442a7 Change the defacto output transform from flipped-270 to flipped-90
It turns out that flipped-270 is the second-simplest transformation besides
normal because it is a direct swapping of the x and y axes.  Having that as
the default encourages people to use flipped-270 as the default test for "I
want to try this with a transform".  Unfortunately, because flipped-270 is
so simple, it is really easy to have something that works for normal,
flipped-270, and nothing else.  This encourages people to test with a
transform thats actually "hard".

Neil Roberts e3de16ea30 Automatically generate weston.ini with the right paths
Previously weston.ini had hardcoded paths for the weston-* clients in
/usr/bin and /usr/libexec. This was a bit annoying when testing Weston
because you wouldn't usually install those in the system prefix. This
patch adds a make rule to automatically generate weston.ini from a
template file with some replacement markers for the paths so that they
can have the right prefix.
