Created attachment 113938 [details] weston-launch -u as root If I try to start a weston instance by using weston-launch, while gdm on X is running I get the following kernel message : [di mrt 3 09:39:01 2015] [drm:radeon_cp_getparam_kms] *ERROR* invalid ioctl with kms radeon_cp_getparam_kms [di mrt 3 09:39:01 2015] [drm:radeon_engine_reset_kms] *ERROR* invalid ioctl with kms radeon_engine_reset_kms weston-launch refuses to run, attached a log of its debug output. kernel - 3.19.0 libdrm - 2.4.59 RS780 weston/wayland 1.7
Maybe unrelated, but there seems to be issue initializing given gfx chip when running anything non X. On a fresh boot trying to run any wayland session (weston directly or current stable gdm) results in just a black screen. No obvious error in the logs. Booting with plymouth enabled also just results in a black screen. However when X is started first any subsequent wayland session shows just fine.
Have you tried weston-launch the right way? That is, have weston-launch setuid root, then in a text mode VT, running 'weston-launch' without any arguments as a normal user? Though, given your other problems, I don't expect that to help. Also, sounds like you build weston with ./configure --with-cairo=gl or glesv2. As GL clients do not work (weston-desktop-shell crashing - that's probably yet another bug as the fallback fails), this causes the desktop (panel, wallpaper) to never come up, so you are left with a black screen also for that reason. Using the default --with-cairo=image would remove one "moving part" from the equation. I'd expect people to ask for a full kernel log from boot up to and including the problem.
Cairo with image backend makes no difference. I actually have no text console either, but I'm pretty sure I run weston the right way. Weston and gdm (wayland) run just fine, but just don't show up on the screen. I actually think it's a general problem with initializing, since I have no text console as well or plymouth splash if enabled. The machine is usually connected trough HDMI to a nobrand HD720 TV. When I connect the same setup through VGA it does give an image (however the image is positioned wrong). I explicitly disable the VGA output when using HDMI trough the kernel command line : video=HDMI-A-1:1280x720@60 video=VGA-1:d radeon.audio=1 radeon.modeset=1 radeon.dpm=1 . The weird thing is that if I start X it does show up and subsequent runs of weston or gdm on wayland are just fine, so it just happens after a fresh boot. Attached 2 more logs with drm.debug=0xe, one for a boot with HDMI and one for boot with VGA into gdm on wayland. By the way, the invalid ioctl message in #1 disappeared since switching to the 4.0 kernel.
