Announcing: Frog Protocols for Wayland 🐸

Let's create Wayland Protocols but much more iterative.

Wayland Protocols has long had a problem with new protocols sitting for months, to years at a time for even basic functionality.

This is hugely problematic when some protocols implement very primitive and basic functionality such as frog-fifo-v1, which is needed for VSync to not cause GPU starvation under Wayland and also fix the dreaded application freezing when windows are occluded with FIFO/VSync enabled.

We need to get protocols into end-users hands quicker! The main reason many users are still using X11 is because of missing functionality that we can be shipping today, but is blocked for one reason or another.

Check out the repo here! https://github.com/misyltoad/frog-protocols

and the Mesa MR that adds support for frog-fifo-v1 to fix these issues and goes into much more detail: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/31329/

I hooked up HDR AVIF screenshots to Gamescope/Steam Deck today! :steamdeck: 📸

Screenshot attached! Probably need to be on something Chromium-based for it to look anywhere near correct...

Super happy to reveal that I've been working on HDR, color management, and a whole bunch of other display/driver/kernel/Gamescope stuff for Deck OLED for the past year or so! :U1f64c-raisedHands:

Go check it out! :steamdeck:

Elden Ring HDR on Linux!

Had to implement the legacy (and terrible) NVAPI HDR interfaces and pretend my AMD GPU was NVIDIA.

Check it out! :D
