Bug ID: 479701
Summary: Please implement wlr-gamma-control and wlr-output-*
protocols to enable compatibility with tools that use
them
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.92.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ngomp...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KWin as a compositor can be used independently of KDE Plasma, but one of the
problems in the Wayland ecosystem that impairs its independent adoption is the
lack of support for the following wlr protocols:
* wlr-gamma-control-unstable-v1
* wlr-output-management-unstable-v1
* wlr-output-power-management-unstable-v1
These protocols are used by a variety of little tools referenced on
arewewaylandyet.com (such as wlr-randr and wlsunset), and smaller desktops are
relying on tools that use these protocols to function.
Please consider implementing them.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install wlr-randr and wlsunset
2. Attempt to set outputs with them
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.
EXPECTED RESULT
KWin responds and the displays change accordingly.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 40 (KDE Plasma)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.91
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version: 6.6.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Fedora LXQt is considering using KWin as the compositor for its Wayland
environment in the near future. Currently it's oriented around labwc and stuff
is being built and selected around what it expects and supports.
