Hi. I'm trying to start weston with weston-launch in archLinux with the latest packages from the official repositories. I've got an Nvidia card with Nouveau and nouveau-fw from the arch user repository and the latest mesa packages and KMS enabled. Weston-launch seems to start correctly but the weston interface doesn't show up, the output is only a black screen. I can quit weston using Ctrl Alt backspace but nothing else. When i'm trying to start just weston from an X session everything works fine but weston-launch is failing somehow. Weston log attached.

You can try it first when you run weston under X to see what it is supposed to show, and then when using weston-launch. VT switching should work, but if it does not, you might need to use ssh for access from remote or use a delay to start weston-simple-shm in another VT. If weston-simple-shm seems to run, but still nothing on screen, then we should start suspecting an issue with Nouveau. Did you check the kernel log for Nouveau errors? You are not trying to use weston-launch from an X terminal, right?

Has upstream merged a fix, or did this problem never occur on upstream (hard to imagine)? It's not enough that you personally find a hack that fixes it for you alone, we want it fixed for everybody.

It seems like a pretty correct fix, at first blush. And was necessary for something else, IIRC. > > Does someone understand the problem on a large scale? It'll take someone with KMS API and Wayland experience to work out what's going on. Probably would have to get a Wayland developer involved to figure this one out.

I'm not sure how this is weston-specific, though. Weston programs a pageflip on a certain crtc, and then relies on that particular crtc to send back a pageflip event as requested. So if that's the culprit, is Nouveau on some particular hardware sending back pageflip events on the wrong crtc? Or maybe mixing up crtcs so that no event gets sent? This would be easy to test by adding a weston_log("got pageflip event\n") to src/compositor-drm.c:745, in function page_flip_handler(), and another in line 723 in vblank_handler(). The vblank_handler should be unused atm. I think. If Weston never gets the pageflip event, its repaint loop would be stuck, which would explain the symptoms. A side effect would be that clients would never get frame callbacks, which means that e.g. weston- simple-shm would not be consuming any CPU. Normally it should take at least few percent of one core. Otherwise everything would seem to just work, since Weston does not hang but only not repaint.

Mark45 on Phoronix said this issue affected all 3 of his Nvidia cards when he tried to use my Wayland Live CD. I added the "got pageflip event" lines as suggested, and it seems that they appear multiple times in the log, and seem to keep going until I tty switch, but the screen is still black. Using a vanilla Ubuntu kernel, and passing nouveau.config=NvMSI=0 did not work for me, or for Mark45 on any of his Nvidia cards. Weston-desktop-shell starts fine, and I also tried weston-simple-shm, which did not appear, but it did run. It can't be a mesa issue, as Weston is using pixman here in this case... I wish I had tested this sooner, but I wasn't sure if my results on the older desktop would reflect on newer Nvidia hardware.

If you do get the vblank events right, like it sounds that Nerdopolis does indeed get, then does reverting the blamed nouveau kernel patch make any difference? I would be surprised if it does make a difference. This other bug would be, that when Weston changes the video mode, it does not call drmModeCrtcSetGamma. IIRC Michel Dänzer told me, that not calling that may lead to black output, if the color translations tables are all zero due not being explicitly set. So the main question here is, does Weston change the video mode, or does it use the mode that is already set for fbcon? Weston code base already has a call to drmModeCrtcSetGamma(), but it is used only for color managed outputs I think. Yet, it is an example of how to call it, so if someone having this problem could test that, it would be very useful. If missing this call is indeed the problem, I think it should be a new Weston bug report, as the Nouveau patch blamed here should not make a difference AFAIU. One more note: if you test reverting the blamed Nouveau patch, make sure your *both* kernels with and without are built by you and launched the same way, to make sure that the fbcon video mode is really the same on both. If the fbcon video mode is different, then that could mask the drmModeCrtcSetGamma issue.

If the timestamp delivered with the DRM pageflip event does not advance, I suppose Weston's fade-in animation might not advance either and therefore it never fades in. However this is hard for me to believe, as I think it would have caused problems with Xorg, too... wouldn't it? Or maybe Xorg is only looking at the vblank counters, and you'd actually need a program using GLX_OML_sync_control to even see the timestamps? One could check the timestamps by: weston_log("%s: time %u.%06u frame %u\n", __func__, sec, usec, frame); in compositor-drm.c page_flip_handler() function. Mm, I'd like to see a weston log with that when you have the black screen problem.

So at least for you, the problem is that the kernel DRM does not report proper pageflip timestamps. I would consider this as a kernel driver bug, but if the kernel developers insist, I suppose we could also hack around it in Weston by providing fake timestamps, disabling the Presentation extension (somewhat similar X11 Present, not yet merged) and yelling loudly. But I'd rather the driver got fixed. As far as I see, bad timestamps are enough to make Weston stay black (fade-in animation not advancing), yet appear to work just fine. So at least we (Weston devs) should detect when the kernel driver is faulty, and abort Weston. Weston, and also the intention in Wayland, is to rely on the proper pageflip timestamps from the kernel for timing... well, everything visual, so we really would like it to work.
