1957568 - Remove wayland compositor prefs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, task)

Description

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

Right now we use gfx.webrender.compositor / gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled ton Wayland which is redundant to gfx.wayland.hdr and makes more confusion. Let's use the HDR only.

My confusion now is that my display is not HDR. but I still want to force the wayland compositor to be activated.
Or maybe I have a HDR display, but I don't want the HDR feature but still the wayland compositor.
What do you think ? thanks

Maybe our understanding of "compositor" is incorrect anymore.

gfx.webrender.compositor / gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled confuses users who enable it although it's not relevant and useful. Let's use gfx.wayland.hdr only to enable HDR mode (not matter if HDR display is present) to make it clear what's going on.

Mine is, the one that use dmabuf to direct render frame with my wayland compositor and not use the webrender one.
So if my display is not HDR ready. Activation of gfx.wayland.hdr will force enable the wayland compositor ?

(In reply to GreyXor from comment #5)

Activation of gfx.wayland.hdr will force enable the wayland compositor ?
