Subject: X11 incompatibilities using meta-oe with poky
Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2013 22:22:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52BDEFA3.2090106@free-electrons.com> (raw)
Hi,
When using core-image-sato (latest dora), I encountered again an issue
that I once solved by hacking around it. It has the following symptoms:
- touchscreen calibration doesn't start the first time the board is booted
- matchbox-keyboard doesn't come up when touching the keyboard icon in
the panel
- matchbox-panel is ugly (compare
http://www.ossystems.com.br/images/blog/boards/boundarydevices-nitrogen6x-hdmi-screenshot-fsl-image-gui.jpg
with http://free-electrons.com/~alexandre/matchbox-panel.jpg)
This time, I decided to investigate that issue a bit more. Here is what
I found:
The cause is the /etc/X11/Xsession script which at some point does:
==
What is really happening is that xserver-nodm-init is provided both by
poky/meta/recipes-graphics/x11-common/xserver-nodm-init.bb and
meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-graphics/xserver-nodm-init/xserver-nodm-init_2.0.bb
layer path priority
==========================================================================
meta /home/alex/fsl/sources/poky/meta 5
meta-yocto /home/alex/fsl/sources/poky/meta-yocto 5
meta-oe /home/alex/fsl/sources/meta-openembedded/meta-oe 6
The meta-oe one is selected ! That one can't actually work with the
current
poky/meta/recipes-sato/matchbox-keyboard/matchbox-keyboard_git.bb recipe
because of the "ls -X" sorting and it doesn't know how to handle shbg
files this will hang trying to use 80matchboxkeyboard.shbg
So my next step was to remove the meta-oe layer (or simply mask
/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-graphics/). The final result is
better but touch screen calibration (xtscal instead of
xinput-calibrator) fails with:
XCALIBRATE extension missing: Resource temporarily unavailable
XCALIBRATE extension missing: Resource temporarily unavailable
XCALIBRATE extension missing: Resource temporarily unavailable
So, questions:
- How do we solve that cleanly ?
- Why doesn't xserver-common conflicts with x11-common despite
RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "xserver-kdrive-common x11-common" ?
- Shouldn't we stop using xtscal and use xinput-calibrator instead ?
- Should we update the Xsession script from the poky recipes and stop
using x11-common ?
On my side, what I do is masking
/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-graphics/ and replacing xtscal by
xinput-calibrator as a dependency of x11-common but I believe we can do
better.
