Description Joseph Mullally 2016-07-10 06:55:57 UTC
Description of problem:
Hi,

I was investigating some graphical glitching for an SDL game (OpenRA) under FC24 under Wayland which doesn't show up under Xorg. When doing some SDL tests, I saw that SDL2 applications were still defaulting to "x11" under Wayland (if "lg" output and tests below are to be believed...). I'm running a fairly default FC24 install.

2 question/issues:
A) Does "SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO )" still default to "x11" under Wayland?

The tests below show it is. Does this apply: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wayland#SDL and if so whats the plan around this transition? If the aim is to have Wayland be the default for FC25, should this be patched now for people testing Wayland in FC24 to flush out bugs?

B) Is "SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);" known to work for the Wayland SDL video driver?

It crashes for me, see below - maybe something more is needed for this patch: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/SDL2.git/tree/SDL2-wayland-dyn-wl_proxy_marshal_constructor_versioned.patch?id=fac91fa8fec7a8dc2f02008bd1eb43a6628f3932
Or maybe I am not linking this properly...

Thanks!



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -qa SDL2
SDL2-2.0.4-4.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
All the time under Gnome + Wayland

Steps to Reproduce:


### Directly calling SDL_Init() shows this issue
[jman@talos test_sdl]$ cat test_sdl.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <SDL.h>
int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
    if( SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO ) < 0 ) {
        printf( "SDL_Init() error: %s\n", SDL_GetError() );
        return 1;
    }
    printf( "SDL_Init() succeeded.\n" );
    printf( "SDL_GetCurrentVideoDriver(): %s\n", SDL_GetCurrentVideoDriver() );
    return 0;
}

[jman@talos test_sdl]$ ./test_sdl 
SDL_Init() succeeded.
SDL_GetCurrentVideoDriver(): x11
[jman@talos test_sdl]$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 ./test_sdl
SDL_Init() succeeded.
SDL_GetCurrentVideoDriver(): x11
[jman@talos test_sdl]$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=blabla ./test_sdl
SDL_Init() error: blabla not available
[jman@talos test_sdl]$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ./test_sdl
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

### OpenArena just for comparison, not directly concerned about it at the moment...
### "lg" shows x11 windows by default
### crashes when wayland driver is chosen
[jman@talos test_sdl]$ openarena
[jman@talos test_sdl]$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland openarena
SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO ) FAILED (No available video device)

Comment 1 Joseph Mullally 2016-07-10 07:01:46 UTC
This is how I was compiling that test C code:

$ gcc -o test_sdl test_sdl.c -g -lSDL2 -lGL -I/usr/include/SDL2

0001-fix-Wayland-dynamic-symbol-loading-bz1354155.patch

Yup, it looks like this fix from 
https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3255
was missing another step added later here:
https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3265
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/330f500d5815

Attached an update to the patch:
- SDL2-wayland-dyn-wl_proxy_marshal_constructor_versioned.patch (updated version of the original patch)
- 0001-make-static-subpackage.patch (git format-patch)

After applying, SDL_Init() works as expected and test applications seem to work OK, so this takes care of B) above.

$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ./test_sdl
SDL_Init() succeeded.
SDL_GetCurrentVideoDriver(): wayland

$ cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/SDL2-2.0.4/test
$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ./testdisplayinfo 
INFO: Using video target 'wayland'.
INFO: See 1 displays.
INFO: 0: "SyncMaster" (1680x1050, (0, 0)), 1 modes.
...
$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ./testgl2
<works OK>

One extra question: Are the SDL test applications built into any RPMs? They could be very useful to include in SDL2-devel as common reference tests for the upcoming wave of SDL wayland troubleshooting...
