[Feature Request] wayland-backend to support running on Fullscreen shell

[n3rdopolis]

Hi.

For systems that only support the Framebuffer (which admittedly are shrinking, even amongst virtual platforms) Orbital will not work, since there is no framebuffer backend

Since Weston has support for the framebuffer, and so that a framebuffer backend in Orbital can be maintained, (or is that inherited with libweston), could the wayland-backend possibly support fullscreen-shell? That way a login manager could call up a Weston fullscreen-shell host on the framebuffer, and then call up orbital on the host

The wayland backend should already support the fullscreen shell...
But if it doesn't I would rather add the support for the framebuffer backend. It would be a small amount of code, i just did not need it yet.

hmm... I tried it right before posting, it did not appear to work, I could try again, I didn't get a crash it's just that nothing appeared on the host... ...argh, I just remembered https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93514 . maybe it was the host's fault, I'll need to rebuild weston

Hi. Is a feature like this still possible?
Trying to run it under a fullscreen-shell I get

[W Orbital - unknown:0] == Cannot use weston_windowed_output_api
