Description Eero Tamminen 2018-05-30 15:00:09 UTC
Setup:
- Skylake i5 (BXT had same issue too)
- Git versions of:
  - kernel (support atomic modesetting)
  - X server / Xwayland
  - Mesa
  - Weston
  (latest releases may be enough, but hasn't been tested)
- New enough dependencies for above, so that modifiers are supported
- GL application supporting fullscreen in both X and Wayland:
  # apt install glmark2 glmar2-wayland

Test-case:
- Start Weston with --xwayland
- Start fullscreen Wayland GL application:
  glmark2-wayland --fullscreen
- Start fullscreen X GL application:
  glmark2 --fullscreen
- Start windowed X GL application:
  glmark2

Expected outcome:
- Fullscreen X GL application works as well through XWayland, as native Wayland GL applications

Actual outcome:
- Wayland GL application fullscreen window works fine
- X GL application fullscreen window never becomes visible
  - Or with some applications, it appears on random runs, after random delay, but with Weston panel on top of it instead of as fullscreen
- Windowed X GL application windows work fine

Notes:
- Same thing regardless of whether application uses GLES or GL, glX or EGL
- With some fullscreen GL benchmarks, the window appears after a while, but in that case it's below the Weston panel i.e. not really fullscreen
  - Whether and when the (non-fullscreen) window appears seems *completely random*
  - I've seen this most reliably with Ungine Heaven and Valley benchmarks

I haven't tried XWayland before, but I assume it must be a regression.

Comment 1 Olivier Fourdan 2018-05-30 15:15:10 UTC
This looks more of a weston/xwm issue than Xwayland actually.
Comment 2 Olivier Fourdan 2018-05-30 15:19:05 UTC
Reproduced under weston, yet the same works fine GNOME on Wayland → moving to weston.

Increasing importance.  Fullscreen (XWayland) windows not being visible is at least high major issue.

Ping.  I haven't seen any activity either here, or in gitlab bug tracker for this issue.  Any idea what's causing it / who might be looking into it?

(Commenting here as I haven't registered to gitlab tracker.)
