2021-11-25backend: remove noop backendSimon Zeni
2021-11-25render: introduce WLR_RENDER_DRM_DEVICESimon Ser
This env var allows to override the DRM node used by the GLES2 and Vulkan renderers. It's especially useful to select a DRM node when running with the headless backend. References: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/2656
2021-11-24docs/env_vars: drop WLR_DIRECT_TTYSimon Ser
The direct session is gone, so this env var isn't looked up anymore.
2021-11-19docs: mention WLR_RENDERER=vulkan.Érico Nogueira
This option was added with commit 8e346922508aa3eaccd6e12f2917f6574f349843.
2021-04-20render: introduce WLR_RENDERER in wlr_renderer_autocreate_with_drm_fdSimon Zeni
This env var forces the creation of a specific renderer. If no renderer is specified, the function will try to create all of the renderers one by one until one is created successfuly.
2021-04-14backend/session: Remove session_implKenny Levinsen
libseat provides all session functionality, so there is no longer need for a session backend abstraction. The libseat device ID, seat handle and event loop handle are moved to the main wlr_session and wlr_device structs.
2021-04-14backend/session: Remove direct backendKenny Levinsen
This is instead delegated to libseat.
2021-04-11backend/session: Remove logind backendKenny Levinsen
This is instead delegated to libseat.

2021-01-27render/egl: fail to create wlr_egl on software rendererSimon Zeni
The creation of `wlr_egl` will fail is the device extension EGL_MESA_device_software is defined. The creation process is allowed to continue only if the environment variable `WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE` is defined to the value 1.

2020-10-11xwayland: introduce WLR_XWAYLAND for specifying which Xwayland to useTudor Brindus
When debugging Xwayland-related issues, a common first step in debugging has been to ask the reporter to move their real Xwayland to /usr/bin/Xwayland.bin, and create a shell script starting Xwayland with extra arguments under the original /usr/bin/Xwayland location. Introducing a `WLR_XWAYLAND` environment variable makes this less invasive, by allowing the user to swap out Xwayland without resorting to global system changes (or source patches).
2020-01-24backend/drm: add env variable to disable modifiersRouven Czerwinski
In some cases modesets fail if the planes are initialized with modifiers. Since in this case possibly all planes need to reinitialized, which is not possible in the current wlroots design, add an environment variable for affected users.

2020-01-14docs: remove rootston-specific env varsSimon Ser
rootston isn't part of wlroots anymore.
2020-01-10Drop RDP backendDrew DeVault
Users interested in remote access to wlroots compositors should use wayvnc: https://github.com/any1/wayvnc

2019-11-28Update environment variable documentation to include more backendsn3rdopolis
Testing with exporting WLR_BACKENDS=drm worked, and it wasn't documented. Checking the backends folder, and it also mentions an RDP backend as well
2019-06-11Remove WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC_GAMMA workaroundScott Anderson
This is fixed on amdgpu, so we don't need this anymore.

2019-03-06backend/session: Allow setting a custom tty via WLR_DIRECT_TTYNiklas Schulze
2019-01-17Introduce noop backendRyan Dwyer
The noop backend is similar to headless, but it doesn't contain a renderer. It can be used as a place to stash views for when there's no physical outputs connected.
2018-10-28backend/drm: add WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC_GAMMA env variableemersion
This allows the legacy interface to be used instead of atomic if needed. This is a workaround to make some Intel GPUs work (if this variable is unset) as well as to make some AMD GPUs work (if this variable is set).
2018-10-28util: use shm_open for in-memory filesemersion
shm_open is a POSIX function creating an in-memory file. Using it simplifies the code and removes the dependency on XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. The only downside is that we need to generate a random name for the shm file.
2018-09-18Add support for WLR_SESSION env variablerandom human
Valid values are "logind"/"systemd" and "direct". If WLR_SESSION is set, only its value is potentially tried; it will not try any other option.
