Subject: Blank screen observed when running Weston with pixman renderer and
drm-backend
Hi Team,
We are observing the following issue on Weston 10.0.2:
When we launch Weston with drm-backend and pixman renderer, we are seeing blank
screen. Upon doing hotplug, display is coming up.
In layer dumps, we can see that a fully opaque layer is getting created during
issue case as shown below:
Layer 0 (pos 0xffffffff):
View 0 (role (null), PID 0, surface ID 0, [no description available],
0x55968bdfc0):
position: (0, 0) -> (1920, 1080)
[fully opaque]
outputs: 0 (DSI-1) (primary)
[buffer not available]
It is caused due to creation of fade layer in desktop-shell. Once the
desktop-shell client is ready, the layer should fade in. But we suspect that
the layer is not getting faded in properly.
To confirm, we made the following change to disable the creation of fade layer.
With this change, the issue is getting resolved and Weston UI is up everytime.

Can you please help us debug or fix this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
