mntmnbkeys, i’m working on a longer status update blog post13:41
mntmnevince opening a document doesn’t take 10 seconds because of performance. happens if dbus is not running.16:07

mntmni wrote a little linux kernel patch that implements a hardware cursor, but it’s very limited (a little 4x4 pink square). but i enjoy it more than the flickering of the xorg software cursor.23:03
erlehmannmntmn, what is needed to make the cursor nicer?23:06
erlehmanni can give you a bitmap, if it is that23:06
erlehmann(unifont style, 16×16)23:06
mntmnthe hw cursor doesn't support bitmaps23:07
mntmnit's only a one-color rectangle23:07
mntmni guess that's why it wasn't implemented in the first place23:08

erlehmannmntmn, oh hmmm but why pink23:09
mntmnprobably should be redone with the "partial overlay" later23:09
mntmnerlehmann, because it's a rarely used background color. it can be changed easily though23:09
mntmn0xff00ff23:10
erlehmannmntmn, can you make it reverse or something?23:10
erlehmannlike always reversing the buffer color?23:10
mntmnthe documentation says yes but the reality says no23:10
mntmnlike, the XOR mode doesn't do anything23:10
erlehmann._.23:12
erlehmannmntmn, are you going to upstream the kernel patch?23:13
mntmnno23:14
mntmnbecause it can't display a bitmap, i don't think it will be accepted23:15
erlehmanni would at least send it to the ML, so it is publicly archived23:15
erlehmannmaybe someone else finds out something, or at least does not have to research it again23:16

mntmnswivel, no, it's the hardware that is limited in that regard. and people are moving to wayland which doesn't have these problems anyway23:25
swivelmntmn: hm, does that imply that glamour would also fix it in an X context?23:27
mntmnglamor does work23:27
mntmnbut doesn't fix this23:27
swiveli've read complaints about wayland's pointer being laggy and unresponsive under system load, unlike Xorg which draws the pointer in a SIGIO handler23:29
* erlehmann_ -> erlehmann23:29
mntmnswivel, i don't know about that23:30
swivelwell it's orthogonal to what you're dealing with, but kind of overlaps in that wayland compositors probably don't have the issue because they use accelerated rendering APIs from userspace like opengl - and that's the reason they also can't do rendering from signal handlers because those libs aren't async-signal safe23:38

mntmnswivel, that’s possible, i don’t know exactly how the x rendering model works23:54
