Re: [Request]Ozone-Wayland

Looks like Wayland support is finally mainlined!

Re: [Request]Ozone-Wayland

The "upstreamed" support does not look like it comes from the ozone-wayland project, at least to me; "mainlined" might be the wrong term. Compare chromium and ozone-wayland; the code looks quite different to me, and the copyright is for "The Chromium Authors" only, while the ozone-wayland project is copyright (mostly) "Intel Corporation". I would be happy to be shown to be wrong
The log entry is authored by someone from Google, and just adds "initial" support, although I haven't tested it yet - it sounds like it just added "make a window appear" support, with no input handling or anything like that (see the commit).

Re: [Request]Ozone-Wayland

Hm, it looks like you are probably correct. I am just repeating what it says in the article:

At long last, this work that started out by Intel OTC for Chromium has reached mainline in Chrome.

None of the comments on Phoronix thus far seem to mention such an mistake, but then I don't see anyone there actually mentioning having tried running Chrome/Chromium under Wayland either.

Re: [Request]Ozone-Wayland

So it seems that wayland support is a Google 20% project https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is … ?id=578890 which a couple of people are working on

Pointer support has been implemented https://chromium.googlesource.com/chrom … rm/wayland and keyboard support is in review https://codereview.chromium.org/1841083003/

Re: [Request]Ozone-Wayland

So the next chromium release (in the repos) will work in wayland out of the box?

Re: [Request]Ozone-Wayland

Ha probably not. Keyboard handling is still in review and there are probably other missing features. My uneducated guess would be chromium >52 (as that is where the dev version is now)
