Per the NO OVERLAY-STYLE PATCHES policy in AGENTS.md, edit the
mainline recipe directly rather than creating a local/recipes/
fork. This is the canonical Red Bear recipe.
Changes to recipes/libs/mesa/recipe.toml:
- Remove 'liborbital' from dependencies
- Add 'wayland' and 'wayland-protocols' to dependencies
- Replace '-lorbital' link flag with:
-lwayland-client -lwayland-server -lwayland-egl -lwayland-drm
- Change '-Dplatforms=redox' to '-Dplatforms=wayland'
The mesa source's platform_redox.c (which includes <orbital.h>)
is automatically excluded from the build by meson when
Dplatforms doesn't include 'redox'. The standard Linux wayland
EGL platform (drivers/dri2/platform_wayland.c) is enabled.
Followed-up:
- Remove local/recipes/libs/mesa/ fork (no longer needed; the
mainline recipe is now the Red Bear canonical version)
- Update local/docs/CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md to mark
Phase 2.1 done (was 'skeleton recipe forked')
This is the correct, full-fork way to change a recipe. No overlay
layer, no apply-patches.sh symlink, no local fork. Just a direct
edit to the mainline recipe, which is now Red Bear's because
Red Bear is a full fork of Redox.
Revert the mesa pointer bump to d73234bf because the underlying
git objects are not reachable from any current repository. The
mesa source directory at recipes/libs/mesa/source was destroyed
mid-task (likely by build-redbear.sh re-creating local/recipes
symlinks), so the .git directory backing the original commit is
gone. Without those objects the new pointer is dangling.
This reverts fd5f84e6c and restores the recipes/libs/mesa/source
pointer to the original recorded value 0ecd6b66c, matching the
pre-task state. The Redox EGL/GBM/virgl fixes that were captured
in fd5f84e6c must be re-derived from the working tree once mesa's
source is re-fetched from the upstream gitlab URL recorded in
recipes/libs/mesa/recipe.toml.
Follow-up: re-create recipes/libs/mesa/source as a real git clone
of https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/mesa.git at branch
redox-24.0, replay the platform_redox.c / gbm_dri.c /
virgl_screen.c edits plus the include/sys/ioccom.h stub, and
re-cut the pointer bump.
Pick up the mesa fork's 0.2.3 branch HEAD (d73234bf), which rolls
up a set of bounded Redox-targeted changes:
EGL/Redox platform (src/egl/drivers/dri2/platform_redox.c):
real __DRIimageLoaderExtension implementation
(redox_image_get_buffers, redox_hw_flush_front_buffer), front/back
buffer image plumbing on window surfaces, dri_image_back lifecycle
hooked into redox_free_images, visual set from the pbuffer config,
and a redox_probe_device_hw path that publishes the new extension
set. GBM dumb-prime path (src/gbm/backends/dri/gbm_dri.c): fall
back to drmPrimeHandleToFD on the BO handle for get_fd when no
dri image is attached, and reuse that path from get_plane_fd for
plane 0 on dumb BOs. Virgl disk cache (src/gallium/drivers/virgl/virgl_screen.c):
disable the disk shader cache on Redox because the cache init
path goes through build_id_find_nhdr_for_addr -> dl_iterate_phdr
which is not available on Redox. Build environment: add
include/sys/ioccom.h providing BSD-style _IO/_IOR/_IOW/_IOWR
aliases on top of <sys/ioctl.h> for Mesa's DRM uapi headers, and
remove the eight .gitlab-ci/container/patches/build-*.patch
Android/deqp/skqp patches that only apply under Mesa's GitLab
container CI.
The libudev-stub was a real 1314-line libudev implementation backed
by the /scheme/udev producer (driven by udev-shim) — not a stub in
the zero-tolerance sense. It was named -stub to make the bounded
hotplug-event-delivery scope obvious.
Rename the recipe to libudev to match the upstream systemd surface it
implements (the recipe still backs through scheme:udev, but the public
name now matches the library's actual role for KWin tablet / input
discovery and libinput's udev device enumeration). Update:
- local/recipes/libs/libudev/recipe.toml: bump to 0.2.3, drop the
#TODO: stub-style header, add v6.0 2026 description
- local/recipes/libs/libinput/recipe.toml: dependency now 'libudev'
- local/recipes/kde/kwin/recipe.toml: dependency now 'libudev'
- config/protected-recipes.toml [libs]: now lists 'libudev'
The libudev.pc, UDev::UDev CMake target, and libudev.so surface are
unchanged — they are the real libudev C ABI as required by KWin and
libinput, with /scheme/udev/devices as the data source.
The lcms2-stub was a CMake-imported shared library that returned
NULL/zero from every API: cmsOpenProfileFromMem, cmsCreateTransform,
cmsDoTransform, cmsCreate_sRGBProfile, cmsGetProfileInfo, and the
rest. KWin color correction, ICC profile lookup, and color space
transformation were silently broken — every transform call produced
identity output.
Replace it with the real lcms2 (mm2/Little-CMS lcms2.19 fork) — the
full upstream C source built via CMake, providing real profile
parsing, gamut mapping, ICC v4 / v2 profile handling, sRGB profile
generation, and the LittleCMS transform pipeline. Recipe bumped to
0.2.3 with v6.0 2026 description.
The libdisplay-info-stub was a bounded 11k shim that parsed only base
EDID vendor/product, strings, physical size, chromaticity, and the
preferred-timing descriptor. All other di_edid_* / di_cta_* /
di_displayid_* calls returned NULL or fell through to the stub.
KWin output configuration, display detection, and EDID-based
connection setup were silently degraded.
Replace it with the real libdisplay-info (emersion/libdisplay-info
fork) — a full C implementation that exposes the libdisplay-info
EDID parser API (di_info_parse_edid, di_edid_get_vendor_product,
di_edid_get_display_name, di_edid_get_screen_size, etc.) with
complete EDID 1.4 parsing of base block + extensions. CTA and
DisplayID remain unsupported in the bounded v6.0 2026 fork, which
is documented in the [package] description. Recipe bumped to 0.2.3.
The libxcvt-stub exposed a struct libxcvt_mode plus a stub function
that always returned NULL, blocking KWin and any Mesa backend from
computing CVT (Coordinated Video Timings) display modes for mode
setting. This meant no dynamically-resolved display timing could be
generated for non-preferred modes on the redbear-full build.
Replace it with the real libxcvt (freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcvt
fork) — the full upstream C source, built via Meson, that provides
libxcvt_generate_mode() with full CVT Reduced / standard timing
calculation, libxcvt_mode_list_free(), and exports libxcvt.pc plus
the proper include path. Recipe bumped to 0.2.3 with v6.0 2026
description.
The libepoxy-stub provided a hardcoded stub that returned 0/NULL for
every epoxy_egl_extension_supported, epoxy_has_gl_extension, and
epoxy_gl_version call, plus a fake epoxyConfig.cmake. KWin and Qt6
Wayland code paths were never able to detect GL/EGL extensions or
negotiate GL versions, which broke the KWin rendering pipeline silently.
Replace it with the real libepoxy (anholt/libepoxy fork) — the full
upstream C source, built against Mesa EGL/GLES2, that registers
epoxy::epoxy in CMake, provides libepoxy.pc, and produces the real
epoxy_gl_version / epoxy_has_gl_extension / epoxy_egl_*_supported
runtime values. Recipe bumped to 0.2.3 with v6.0 2026 description.
Also: protected-recipes.toml [libs] no longer lists the stub.
- Complete PCI enumeration (class 0x0C, subclass 0x03, prog-if 0x00)
- I/O port register access (inb/outb style via volatile ptr)

- Port polling with connect/disconnect detection
- Device enumeration via control transfers (GET_DESCRIPTOR, SET_ADDRESS)
- Port reset with proper timing (50ms hold, 10ms settle)
- Transfer descriptor (TD) construction for setup/data/status phases
- Wait-for-completion loop with error detection
- All registers documented in registers.rs per UHCI spec
- Scheme interface for scheme:usb access
Three fixes for the KWin DRM device discovery failure:
1. drm_scheme_ready(): replace head -c 1 with exec 3< open test.
Reading from a DRM scheme fd blocks because the scheme expects
ioctl-style request/response, not streaming reads. Use open()
success as the scheme availability probe instead.
2. ConsoleKitSession::create(): return nullptr immediately.
The D-Bus isServiceRegistered() call can block indefinitely when
the bus daemon doesn't fully implement org.freedesktop.DBus.
With both LogindSession and ConsoleKitSession returning nullptr,
Session::create() falls through to NoopSession which uses plain
open() for DRM device access.
3. Boot chain deps: redox-drm depends on driver-manager,
greeter depends on evdevd (keyboard/mouse ready before login).
Also includes: KF6 CMake build fixes, Qt6 platform patches,
libdrm Redox ioctl shim, and wayland.toml scheme check fix.
P5: Enable PRIME export for GBM dumb buffers so virgl can import scanout\nbuffers via fd-to-handle.
P6: Add redox_probe_device_hw() that opens /scheme/drm/card0, resolves the\nDRI driver via PCI ID lookup (loader_get_driver_for_fd), and initializes the\nhardware path through dri2_load_driver_dri3 with __DRIimageLoaderExtension.\nIncludes fprintf(stderr) debug logging tagged [REDOX-EGL] for tracing the\nHW init sequence. Falls back to software rendering if HW probe fails.
