Obtaining wl_surface from xwayland window #474

Closed AaxAisa closed 4 years ago

AaxAisa commented 4 years ago

I had seen references several times that Xwayland native window has a wl_surface associated with it. But I simply can't find a way to do that.

I am a part of the project that can only be run on X11 system, and I need to render directly on the window surface using OpenGL. Unfortunately, we are now tasked to port this application onto Wayland, and I can't render directly onto XWayland surface.

please explain how and if this can be done?

This project has been unmaintained for years, and things have changed a lot in the Chromium code base since then. I suggest either filing a bug in bugs.chromium.org and CC'ing msisov@igalia.com, or sending an email to the ozone-dev Chromium mailing list.

... although your question doesn't seem to be that specific to Chromium, so you may want to try your luck with the wayland-devel mailing list itself.
