When using DRI2, Mesa uses XESetWireToEvent to hook into Xlib's event handling loop, so it can get notified when certain DRI2 event happens, which is crucial to the normal functioning of GLX. When xcb is owning the event queue (meaning libxcb is doing all the event handling), those functions registered by Mesa will never be called, thus GLX will malfunction, leading to screen flickers or visual artifacts. This commit uses a hack from Qt to manually call those functions in compton. Signed-off-by: Yuxuan Shui <yshuiv7@gmail.com>
Compton
This is a development branch, bug to be expected
This is forked from the original Compton because that seems to have become unmaintained. I'll merge pull requests as they appear upstream, as well as trying to fix bugs reported to upstream, or found by myself.

Dependencies
Assuming you already have all the usual building tools installed (e.g. gcc, meson, ninja, etc.), you still need:
- libx11
- libXext
- xproto
- xcb
- xcb-damage
- xcb-xfixes
- xcb-shape
- xcb-renderutil
- xcb-render
- xcb-randr
- xcb-composite
- xcb-image
- xcb-present
- xcb-xinerama (optional, disable with
-Dxinerama=falsemeson configure flag) - pixman
- libdbus (optional, disable with the
-Ddbus=falsemeson configure flag) - libconfig (optional, disable with the
-Dconfig_file=falsemeson configure flag) - libGL (optional, disable with the
-Dopengl=falsemeson configure flag) - libpcre (optional, disable with the
-Dregex=falsemeson configure flag) - libev
To build the documents, you need asciidoc
