Hi zeval,

The hit box of the close button is bigger than the icon (around 32px).

The last time I posted here I had ported nyancat to Managarm. In passing I mentioned fixing up the X11/Wayland stack to work with Xwayland and becoming self-hosting. This weekend, we managed to complete one of those two! I'm proud to announce that Xwayland is working on managarm, with some X clients to demonstrate this new ability. The porting process was relatively simple, but we ran into some bugs with our epoll implementation which were hard to track down. On the back-end GLX uses llvmpipe for it's rendering which gives quite decent performance in qemu.

Cooool!

Now you have Wayland and therefor X applications.

Well we had weston for quite some time now but getting the xwayland module working and porting the X server to support it makes it possible to run stuff like glxgears. Many DE's expect the X server to be there to use, and a lot of programs that use gtk seem to depend on the X libraries, which will eventually need the X server. It was a fun project to do but trying to printf debug the X server and some of it's libraries (libX11 and libxcb, I'm looking at you) is not something you do for fun. Was it worth it in the end? Hell yes seeing those gears turn was a great moment and a good birthday present

@Dennisbonke looks like you're having fun!

Do you plan on rewriting the Intel HD Graphics driver anytime soon?
Do you still have the original hardware that the driver was tested on?

As far as I know there are no current plans for an Intel HD graphics rewrite soon, and I must say these ports are untested on real hardware, although this is on my todo list.
As for the hardware the driver was tested on, I have no idea what hardware that was originally written for, but it looks like something out of the G45 series. It's quite possible that someone on the development team still has this hardware laying around though.

I do have the hardware (basically, a Nehalem-era chipset), why do you ask?

I was wondering if your G45 still worked. Can you plot pixels with it on real HW?
It is fascinating that your code doesn’t utilize the GTT at all.
I have a basic Kaby Lake mode setting driver, but I can’t get it to plot pixels.

I'm still tweaking things a little bit, but at least now I can (again) print some text to the screen.
Time to go back into developing the driver loader, as I already have a basic initrd FS with read/write support on the kernel...

That's a good one, and I like the look of the font.

But it's kind of a milestone, so I would recommend to upload it.

What size (in pixels) are rendering the font at? Looks quite good indeed.

I'm calling FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes with 13x13, but the converter says that the glyphs are all at most 8x14.

Not too much but always something

Only 36 KiB size with a GUI is really cool!
