</span>Hi Nancy,<br>
<br>
I think this commit explains some aspects of it:<br>
<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/commit/?id=23ed5f2526e97d11df35cd8d9a9c7b95b635e225" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/commit/?id=23ed5f2526e97d11df35cd8d9a9c7b95b635e225</a><br>
Looks like 1.7.93 was the first release to include that patch.<br>
<br>
What you see is how Weston is written, AFAIU. Nothing wrong on your<br>
part.<br>
<br>
Hmm, yeah, I suppose we could delay the very first repaint until after<br>
the shell client signals ready, or at least until something causes a<br>
real need for repaint.<br>
<br>
In fact the x11-backend shows the same issue, it flips to one frame of<br>
garbage before showing the desktop.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think the demo compositor must be fixed to not have any such issues. Mostly so that you can prove that it is possible and that there is not an insurmountable bug in Wayland, and to provide instruction in how to do it.<br> <br></div></div><br></div></div>
