Kenny Levinsen d1eab10266 output: Schedule idle frames if we do not render
Repaint scheduling delays output render and frame done events from
output frame events, and block idle frame events from being scheduled in
between output frame done and output render in this period of time.

If a surface is committed after its frame done event, but before output
render, idle frame requests will be blocked, and the surface relies on
the upcoming render to schedule a frame.

If when the repaint timer expires, output render is deemed unnecessary,
no frame will be scheduled. This can lead to surfaces never having their
frame callbacks fire.

To fix this, we store that a surface has requested a frame in
surface_needs_frame. When the repaint expires, if no render is deemed
necessary, we check this flag and schedule an idle frame.

Fixes #4768

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
