= This is a rough TODO list, feel free to contribute patches =
Output Subsystem:
- Test whether eglMakeCurrent() is thread-aware and can set different context
per thread. Comment this behaviour in kmscon_compositor_use().
Multiple active context would actually make sense if you have multiple
graphic cards as you could render on both cards simultaneously. However, if
you have only one card, multiple active contexts are not really needed.
- Avoid EGL_EGLEXT_PROTOTYPES and GL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES and instead retrieve
function pointers dynamically.
- How to get bpp and colordepth?
- Retrieve DRI card from udev or at least make kmscon_compositor_new() accept a
path to the DRI card so the user can have udev provide the path.
- Check whether drmSetMaster() is needed. It can only be called with root
priviledges and all my tests worked without it. What are the benefits of
calling this?
- How to reset video after exiting the application? I want the previous VT or
application to immediately repaint its screen. Wayland resets the previous
DRM framebuffer, but I don't think this helps here?
- Whats the difference between connector and encoder? Or why are encoders
needed at all? The output selection logic simply tries to find the first
encoder that provides an available crtc. Should we replace this logic with an
additional list of available crtcs so users can choose them, too?
- Is glFinish() needed before setCrtc or is glFlush sufficient?
