[Interest] Qt 5.9 with Wayland IVI Extension

[Johan Helsing]

Hi again,

Looking at QWaylandIviShellIntegration::createShellSurface, there is code that positions a Qt Client using ivi_controller. Are you sure your Weston version supports it? Maybe it's using ivi_wm instead? You can check by running weston-info.

If it is running ivi_controller, and you can't move the windows, please file a bug for it and attach logs with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1

As for your linked slides about performance issues, they're complaining about missing support for buffer modifiers, which was just implemented https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/214050/ and should be in Qt 5.13, huge thanks to Andreas Cord-Landwehr for contributing the code :) Cherry-picking the patch onto 5.12 shouldn't be that hard either.

Br,
Johan
