The transactional KMS API has been modelled after atomic KMS. Atomic KMS currently doesn't support forwarding cursor hotspot metadata, thus it was left out of the transactional KMS API having the user set the simply create a plane assigment with the cursor sprite assigned to a cursor plane using regular coordinates. This, however, proved to be inadequate for virtual machines using "seamless mouse mode" where they rely on the cursor position to correspond to the actual cursor position of the virtual machine, not the cursor plane. In effect, this caused cursor positions to look "shifted". Fix this by adding back the hotspot metadata, right now as a optional field to the plane assignment. In the legacy KMS implementation, this is translated into drmModeSetCursor2() just as before, while still falling back to drmModeSetCursor() with the plane coordinates, if either there was no hotspot set, or if drmModeSetCursor2() failed. Eventually, the atomic KMS API will learn about hotspots, but when adding our own atomic KMS backend to the transacitonal KMS API, we must until then still fall back to legacy KMS for virtual machines. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1136 |

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding
style
with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib
fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general,
look at the file you're editing for inspiration.
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
