GNOME Mutter Merges Support For Wayland Timing & Queuing Protocols

[MastaG]

Yeah if they land HDR + triple buffering, then they're on par with KDE Plasma.

still no triple buffering lol

I think it may be on point for 48, check activity on MR 1441 since latest major mutter stable release.

Wrong. Initial (experimental, not accessible via UI yet) HDR support landed in mutter 47, the plan is to expose it in UI for 48.

The FIFO stuff isn't related to HDR at all I think.

MrCooper has been advocating for a long time that timing control in Wayland can resolve VRR fluctuations. Really looking forward to this!

A few observations.

• Thorough review on the protocol by the mutter team
• Thorough review on the mutter implementation
• Lots of CI on the mutter implementation
• Lots of testing on the mutter implementation
• Some overlap with weston

Also fast development but that is really not a quality.

Anyone knows status of kwin for these protocols?

It was pushed to Plasma 6.4
