Top 18 C Xorg Projects

  • picom

    A lightweight compositor for X11

    • Project mention: Can't find picom and polybar default config files | /r/voidlinux | 2023-07-13

    (https://github.com/yshui/picom/blob/next/picom.sample.conf)

  • warpd

    A modal keyboard-driven virtual pointer

    • Project mention: Turning a Keyboard into a Mouse with Libevdev | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-07

    I also enjoyed using https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd on my mac. But was hit with few bugs, where the pointer used to get stuck. Had to keep restarting. But still a nice program to ditch mouse.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • sowm

    An itsy bitsy floating window manager (220~ sloc!).

  • xorgxrdp

    Xorg drivers for xrdp

  • xf86-input-wacom

    X.Org driver for Wacom devices

    • Project mention: Problem with Wacom Tablet with Apps on Qt Apps | /r/linux4noobs | 2023-10-22

    I tried the QT_XCB_TABLET_LEGACY_COORDINATES=1 fix on https://github.com/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom/wiki/Known-Issues#android-misdetect

  • unclutter-xfixes

    • Project mention: How do I make any and ALL new windows appear behind the active window in Gnome/Ubuntu22.04? | /r/linuxquestions | 2023-06-02

    It takes a bit of learning — depending on your level of expertise and understanding, maybe an hour or several hours — but you can use devilspie2 to control a whole bunch of window and dialogue behaviours, including focus. Go to the devilspie2 code page, and scroll down to README for instructions.

  • libvibrant

  • recordmydesktop

    Fork of recordMyDesktop X Window System desktop recording abandonware, much bug fixing and general cleanups/rewriting has been done. (by recordmydesktop)

    • Project mention: Disk write buffering and its interactions with write flushes | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-22

    One of the things I improved in my recordMyDesktop fork [0] was an awful tendency for the frame cache writer to accumulate heaps of dirty pages until background writeback would flush them out.

    I had 16GiB of RAM which meant quite large swaths of dirty pages would become buffered while the SSD sat idle until writeback began. This would cause high-FPS full-screen recordings in particular to just become backlogged and start dropping frames / audio dropouts. Just generally broken behavior for a desktop recorder, especially for a defferred-encode mode that's supposed to be optimized for minimizing system-wide effects/overheads during the recording.

    The simple solution I found was to proactively initiate writeback regularly via fdatasync() on the cache fd. [1] I haven't decided yet if more should be done to constrain its buffer cache effects though. The cache files will be read back during encoding in post, so if there's enough RAM it can be desirable to enable reading them back entirely from memory instead of having to hit the disks again... but it would also be nice to let the rest of the system's processes keep their stuff in the page cache. memcg can probably be used to find a balanced solution, but I haven't done any experiments yet. Have any of you handled similar scenarios? What did you do?
