Created attachment 57786 [details]
the weston and xorg running log

my steps:
 1, run the weston
     ./weston
 2, run the rootless Xorg
     ./Xorg  -rootless -wayland :2
 3, run the xterm
     export DISPLAY=:2
     xterm
 
    the Xorg can run, but the xterm or other x client can not display in the weston;
    and the error occurs when i update the weston and wayland protocol last week;
    the attachment files have the log;
Comment 1 Darxus 2012-03-25 13:59:25 UTC
I think I'm seeing the same thing.  Are you by any chance using nouveau drivers?  That's what I'm using.
Comment 2 Darxus 2012-03-26 08:54:49 UTC
A possible explanation:  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2012-March/002770.html

"I'd guess this is related to a change in shell to not map surfaces with 
type none. A quick grep shows that nothing calls 
wl_shell_surface_set_toplevel() in xwayland or the X window manager in 
weston."
Comment 3 deron 2012-03-26 18:30:20 UTC
 I thinks so; 

 when i set the surface of x client as the top-level, the client can be show; 

 but there are still a lot of work need to do when using the rootless Xorg;

deron: Patch?  Please?

Re-enable assigning output for surface of type none

It's possible you can temporarily get xwayland to work by reverting weston commit de56c311d94e6df37537b9e05ec72863906902ff .

Patch to do this attached.
Comment 6 Darxus 2012-03-29 14:11:15 UTC
21:45 < Darxus> Sounds like it could be fixed with one wl_shell_surface_set_toplevel() line somewhere?
21:49 < krh> yea, but we want the X wm to handle that
21:57 < krh> the X wm is in src/xserver-launcher,c in weston
21:57 < krh> that needs to talk to wl_shell
21:57 < krh> but they're both inside weston, so we need a little bit of glue to make the talk

2012-03-31:
07:57 < timon37> krh: hello, i'm trying to make a radeon driver for xwayland, and the radeon portion went reasonably well, now i'm trying to update xwayland to do wl_shell_get_shell_surface etc.
07:58 < timon37> and i'm wondering if i'm not duplicating something you've already done but didn't publish
08:00 < timon37> or if you could help me a bit, i'm getting a crash with a fairly useless backtrace and have very few ideas how to find what's missing
08:05 < timon37> heh it's probably breaking in the backtrace printer itself, so the stack is probably corrupted:/
09:38 < krh> timon37: cool
09:39 < krh> timon37: the idea is that won want the X server to know about ewmh and icccm protocols
09:39 < krh> but have an X wm that can talk to X and read out ewmh properties like window type, title, icon etc and convert that to the corresponding wayland window types
09:40 < krh> for weston, that wm is actually in process, in xserver-launcher.c
09:40 < krh> and the trick is to get that to call into shell.c to get the shell surface and set the properties on it


Tiago:  Thanks for the link, I mostly came here to add it.
Comment 9 Darxus 2012-04-23 12:14:57 UTC
This is apparently working again:  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2012-April/003092.html
Comment 10 Darxus 2012-04-24 22:01:56 UTC
There's still a fair amount of breakage in XWayland, but this bug - no output at all, is fixed.  More info posted to the same thread I linked to in the previous comment.

Tested commits:

xserver
* xwayland-1.12
801b0e4 xwayland: Disable screensaver extension under xwayland

xf86-video-wlshm (requires s/hosted.h/xwayland.h/)
* master
036c6cf wlshm: fix pixmap issues in rooted mode

xf86-video-ati/
* master
3dec9f9 whateva


Not tested because I don't have the hardware:

xf86-video-intel
* xwayland-1.12 
9b93914 Add xwayland support
Comment 11 Scott Moreau 2012-04-25 07:58:55 UTC
I still get no output but it's possibly a problem on my end since it seems
to work for everyone else. Still investigating.
