Wayland + Weston compositor - How is it possible to place a second window with abs coordinates?

[MicMoba]

Hi,

on my i.MX8MP system I use the Weston 10.0 compositor. After starting weston I have the Weston desktop on my screen.

Now I want to start a video with GStreamer and place the video with absolute coordinates and and given width and height.

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! glimagesink render-rectangle="<10,10,200,200>"

Width and height is set as expected but the x- and y-position is random. I read that this is an issue of the wayland protocol.

How can I fix this problem? Any suggestions?

You can try Ubuntu rootfs(Gnome) with this document: https://www.nxp.com/search?keyword=Distribution_POC&start=0

Hi Zhiming_Liu,
the key for that possible solution is the different compositor (Gnome), isn't it?

Yes, the wayland protocol using by weston can't support these feature. You need add lots of code in compositor even if you add the wayland protocol support this feature.
