'Intel HD Graphics 505' fails by default with a 4K monitor, works with WESTON_DISABLE_GBM_MODIFIERS=1
This is basically a continuation of #404 (closed) - a request to make weston somehow be able to automatically fall back to no-modifiers if the default causes a programmatic error (and the user sees a blank screen). Otherwise people will keep hitting this, and investigating blank screens is not nice at all :-(
Or maybe for intel graphics no-modifiers should just be hardcoded to always-yes to avoid bad user experience.
I can supply logs if needed, but the issue is already well described in the link above. Here's also the intel driver folks' take on this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111995
"After discussing with Pekka, agreed this is a userspace issue and ended up falling back to no modifiers when using modifiers fails: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/1870
I guess Weston could come up with a similar solution."
