The AbstractBackend provides a virtual method to create the Screens.
A concrete backend can implement this method to create the backend
specific Screens instance.
This removes the casting logic from Screens::create.
Both Wayland and X11 backend are bound to the --windowed flag. Which
one to create is decided whether DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY env variables
are set with Wayland having precedence over X11. Passing the display as
command line argument overwrites the env variable and takes further
precedence. E.g. if WAYLAND_DISPLAY is exported and --x11-display
argument is provided, it will create X11 backend. Similarly there is now
a --wayland-display command line argument.
If no backend got created, kwin_wayland will exit.
The singleton variant of WaylandBackend is adjusted to take the display
as argument and pass it to the Connection.
The AbstractBackend registers itself in the WaylandServer allowing
external users to easily get to the backend and not needing to test
manually which backend is used.
Mostly refactoring to not take the global X11 information (connection,
display, etc.). Adds a dedicated ctor overload which takes the
X11WindowedBackend.
SceneOpenGL is adjusted to create an EGLOnXBackend instead of Wayland one
if the X11WindowedBackend is used.
Adds optional dependency to X11_XCB and gets used in X11WindowedBackend
to create an XLib Display if dependency is present.
This allows to create an EGL backend for the X11WindowedBackend.
This new backend allows to start a kwin_wayland server nested on an
X-Server by using a normal X11 window as output. This allows testing
kwin_wayland without needing to start another Wayland server first.
The behavior is triggered by using new command line arguments:
--windowed
--x11-display=<:0>
With optional --width and --height arguments.
In this mode the WaylandBackend is not created at all.
So far the backend is not fully integrated yet and only the QPainter
backend supports this mode.
