    GLPlatform can recommend the compositor to use · e1d7bfa5
    Martin Flöser authored
    During detecting the OpenGL capabilities also a recommended compositor
    can be set. This recommendation is honoured by the OpenGL based
    compositors. That is the SceneOpenGL2 requires a recommendation for at
    least OpenGL2 and the SceneOpenGL1 requires at least a recommendation for
    OpenGL1. If the driver recommends XRender compositing the SceneOpenGL
    performs the existing fallback to XRender.
    
    With this recommendation the hacks in the Scene are removed, e.g. it is
    no longer checked whether the driver is software emulation as that is
    provided through the recommendation.
    
    To overrule the recommendation the environment variable KWIN_COMPOSE is
    extended by the values O1 and O2 to enforce either OpenGL 1 or OpenGL 2.
    This overwrites all other checks. As a side-effect this allows now to run
    KWin on the llvmpipe:
    LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 kwin --replace &
    
    But not that I would recommend to use it :-)
