Embedded, static-size display is a very different use case than a modern desktop system which requires hotplug and multimonitor layouts.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 9:26 AM, Han, Guowei <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Guowei.Han@johnsonoutdoors.com" target="_blank">Guowei.Han@johnsonoutdoors.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"> <div class="m_8653647155667067159WordSection1"> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">We are not allowing user move position since we are in an embedded system.

The traditional technique is to build your own Wayland compositor inside your application, which is a bit heavyweight, and then use wl_subsurface to composite the results. This is what e.g. WebKit2's architecture does, and it's something I've tried to implement in the past [0]. As the scope of a Wayland compositor becomes larger and larger over time, I think this is starting to become a bit impractical. It might be worth looking into a multi-process buffer-sharing protocol as a Wayland extension, since it's a use case that keeps coming up.<u></u><u></u></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">[0] <a href="https://github.com/magcius/wakefield" target="_blank">https://github.com/magcius/<wbr>wakefield</a><u></u><u></u></p> </div> <div> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 5:23 AM, Han, Guowei <<a href="mailto:Guowei.Han@johnsonoutdoors.com" target="_blank">Guowei.Han@johnsonoutdoors.<wbr>com</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p> <blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">We are running a multi process application.
