pryre

Not sure about mpv, but I use a gstreamer pipeline to tender cameras to the raw KMS terminal display. It works much more reliably (I.e. Predictable loading times and no stutter) compared to loading a DE first. Noting that it was on a low power RPI.

Luckily, someone has got an actual solution. Check out WindHawk. I use it to run a vertical taskbar.

I’ll admit, I haven’t looked at the code. I would stand by my comment of the unsafe block being a start point.

Countering that however, what is the difference to just debugging effectively? Not sure. I suppose it’s down to the people that identified it and fixed it at the end of the day to say if there was any benefit.

I think the other takeaway here is that it was found in a section marked “unsafe”. At the very least, that’s a useful tool for the Devs to isolate potential problem areas. Comparing that to a pure C codebase where the problem could be anywhere.

Linux has native AMD drivers, no need for anything extra!
