weston-kiosk-idle

简体中文

A tiny Weston module that adds DPMS idle handling to kiosk-shell.

Weston's core idle timer emits an idle_signal, but kiosk-shell does not handle that signal by itself. This module listens for it and calls weston_compositor_sleep(). Libweston's normal input path wakes the compositor and powers the outputs back on after keyboard, pointer, or touch input.

Requirements

• Weston with matching libweston development headers
• A C compiler, GNU Make, and pkg-config
• timeout and a headless Weston backend for the integration test

On Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel weston

Build and test

make
make check

The Makefile detects the installed versioned pkg-config package, such as libweston-15.

Install

sudo make install

The default destination is:

/usr/local/lib/weston/kiosk-idle.so

Then load the module from every Weston configuration where idle DPMS is required:

[core]
shell=kiosk
modules=/usr/local/lib/weston/kiosk-idle.so
idle-time=30

See examples/weston.ini for a complete minimal DRM configuration. A greetd setup and the logged-in user session normally use separate Weston configuration files; both must load the module.

Updating Weston

Weston modules use the libweston ABI. Rebuild and reinstall this module after a major Weston/libweston upgrade:

make clean all check
sudo make install

Scope

This module only handles display power on compositor idle. It is not a screen locker and does not provide authentication or session security.
