property_notify_event_cb() is never called on Wayland (there's no such concept of window properties) so the whole mechanism of getting X11 system timestamp does not work. I don't know why it the gdk_x11_get_server_time() emulation used at CurrentX11TimeGetter (optimization?) but we can use clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) directly on Wayland/Linux. Katl, you mentioned connection between the time stamps and XRemote. The XRemote is also unsupported on Wayland and we may need to implement the inter-process communication by our own, perhaps by D-BUS.

Android had used TimeStamp::Now() directly for the timestamp untill TextEventDispatcher was implemented (Bug 1137567). AFAIK we don't use the TextEventDispatcher in Gtk so we may go with simple TimeStamp::Now() call.

We actually does not interact with Wayland but rather with Gdk backend for Wayland. I looked at gdkdevice-wayland.c and it uses just plain (guint32)(g_get_monotonic_time () / 1000) to set event time so we can for Gtk/Wayland combo. > ::: widget/gtk/nsWindow.cpp:2969 > (Diff revision 3) > > + int64_t tick = > > + BaseTimeDurationPlatformUtils::TicksFromMilliseconds(aEventTime); > > aEventTime has been truncated to 32 bits, and so needs to be extended using > a time that has not been truncated, before it can be converted to a tick, if > the CLOCK_MONOTONIC assumption is valid.

You may like to argue that GDK is assuming that Wayland timestamps use the same base as g_get_monotonic_time(), and so Gecko follows the example of GDK.

The purpose of this code is to generate a TimeStamp that can be compared with other TimeStamps. To get such a Timestamp from ticks, TicksFromMilliseconds() must use milliseconds from the same base as Timestamp. Truncated milliseconds from GDK will give a different tick count and so different TimeStamp.

Note that the "Wayland" is actually only a library which sits between Mutter/Clutter/Weston compositor and Gdk/Firefox so it's not much interesting for us here. We're generally getting event timestamps from kernel (fetched by libinput/evdev) or directly from compositor (the window events). - sync events gdkwindow-wayland.c:fill_presentation_time_from_frame_time() clams usage of clock_gettime (CLOCK_MONOTONIC) for Weston/DRM (although Gtk+ uses mutter/clutter as compositor). - plain mouse/keyboard event Gdk gets from wl_seat interface through callback, by wl_keyboard_listener/wl_pointer_listener interfaces. Those interfaces are fed by compositor so it depends on the compositor here (look for wl_keyboard_send_key() for keys for instance). As you said Weston uses libinput directly, mutter uses clutter with libinput/evdev as a backend here. - it's not completely clear to me how timestamps for window event are generated by mutter. I suspect mutter-master-clock is involved here but haven't check that yet. > > As Gdk uses the g_get_monotonic_time() / 1000 formula we don't have to extend that. > > The purpose of this code is to generate a TimeStamp that can be compared with > other TimeStamps.

I admin I didn't look at the CurrentX11TimeGetter() very deeply if that's the solution.

Assume that the event time was within the last 2^32 milliseconds, or a shorter period of time if the event time may be in the future. Let |refTime| be the number of milliseconds from the base time to the current time. Truncating this gives a number that can be compared with the event time to find a difference. That difference can then be applied to |refTime| to give an un-truncated number of milliseconds corresponding to the event time.
