[2.0.77] Mouse input ignored with no window manager

[sparr]

If I start the game on Linux with no window manager, all mouse input is ignored.

The attached game log is identical other than timestamps with or without a window manager and the bug being reported.

PS: Also the game claims to be fullscreen when it isn't without a wm.

PPS: Also GUI elements get clipped at the screen edges in that scenario because the game thinks its window is larger than it is.

What do you mean "no window manager"? Are you starting the game directly from a TTY? If so, then that is an unsupported usecase - please use a window manager.

e.g. startx factorio (or the equivalent through startup scripts), such as for a kiosk or console.

My actual use case is for head-ful integration tests. I did just add a wm to the session in question, so the workaround wasn't hard, but I thought it worth reporting just in case.

We don't deal directly with system-level components such as X11, Wayland, or Pipewire - that is all handled by SDL. I would try a small SDL test application, and if that has the same issue, feel free to report it to the SDL developers. (though I expect they will give you a response similar to mine)

[sparr]

I'll head upstream for the SDL situation.

For what it's worth, here's a mod to demonstrate the piece of the GUI problem that I think is on Factorio.

Code: Select all

local function probe(tag)
  local p = game.players[1]
  if not p then log("RESPROBE " .. tag .. " no player") return end
  local r = p.display_resolution
  log(string.format("RESPROBE %s display_resolution=%dx%d display_scale=%s",
      tag, r.width, r.height, tostring(p.display_scale)))
end
script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, function(event)
  if event.tick == 120 then probe("tick120") end
  if event.tick == 300 then probe("tick300") end
end)
script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_display_resolution_changed, function() probe("changed") end)
script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, function() probe("created") end)

This will show that Factorio is telling the mod that the resolution is 1920x1080 (always? hardcoded?) for about 5 frames before telling the mod the resolution has "changed" to what it actually was all along.

The display_scale and display_resolution being incorrect in on player created is expected and documented: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/cla ... play_scale
