Class

MetaBackend

Description [src]

abstract class Meta.Backend : GObject.Object
  implements Gio.Initable {
  /* No available fields */
}

Handles monitor config, modesetting, cursor sprites, …

MetaBackend is the abstraction that deals with several things like:

  • Modesetting (depending on the backend, this can be done either by X or KMS)
  • Initializing the MetaSettings
  • Setting up Monitor configuration
  • Input device configuration (using the ClutterDeviceManager)
  • Creating the MetaRenderer
  • Setting up the stage of the scene graph (using MetaStage)
  • Creating the object that deals with the cursor (using MetaCursorTracker) and its possible pointer constraint (using MetaPointerConstraint)
  • Setting the cursor sprite (using MetaCursorRenderer)
  • Interacting with logind (using the appropriate D-Bus interface)
  • Querying UPower (over D-Bus) to know when the lid is closed
  • Setup Remote Desktop / Screencasting (MetaRemoteDesktop)
  • Setup the MetaEgl object

Note that the MetaBackend is not a subclass of ClutterBackend. It is responsible for creating the correct one, based on the backend that is used (MetaBackendNative or MetaBackendX11).
