Title:
Mir GL clients never appear at all on VirtualBox
Status in Mir:
Won't Fix
Status in mesa package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Mir GL clients never appear at all on VirtualBox.
After digging for a while, it appears the issue is that vboxvideo does
not support DRM_CAP_PRIME and so only supports GEM flink names. Sadly
Mir is the opposite now: Mir only supports PRIME but not flink names.
Internally some exceptions are being thrown in Mir at present, but we
seem to catch and silence them all. So you never see any error
messages at all. Just Mir GL clients never appear on screen in
VirtualBox.
For the record, Wayland supports falling back to flink names in the
absence of PRIME. We should too.
