Changes

• Mesa is built without XA support, so it might be way too slow, libdrm and mesa should be rebuild.
• System-wide pulseaudio service can be disabled - works correctly now.
• Adding

CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling
CLUTTER_VBLANK=glx

• to /etc/environment removes many graphic artifacts

Hardware support

Issues to investigate / file

• Rendering issues - any way to disable partial rendering/fix freedreno?
• Wayland session crashes gnome-shell
  • Not available due to lack of drm driver (?)
• Rotator is disabled in kernel
• Caribou keyboard doesn't appear of first request of keyring unlock

• Apps with GtkHeaderbar cannot be expanded

  • Other apps (e.g. Empathy) expand correctly, though no tiling events recognized. Apparently mutter doesn't recognize. Works fine on scaling-factor 1. It seems apps expect screens to be wider than 600 px
• Clutter apps (Maps, Totem) hang or crash kernel
• Cheese cannot detect camera and hangs
• Battery status shows correct percentage, but cannot estimate time
• Unlocking sometimes fails

Bugs filed

• Bug 743736 - Hide unmanaged devices in menu

• Bug 743844 - Cannot drag app via touch in selection mode

• Bug 743845 - GTK list items overlap caribou board

TODO

• Prepare a new image with better Mesa and removed DEs
• Port Fedora on it!
