Demo Server {#demo_server}
===========
Mir's demo server (`mir_demo_server`) is an example of using the Mir to
build a server. It uses only functionality supported by the public Mir API.
Running Demo Server
-------------------
Remember to always run `mir_demo_server` as root on PC (not required on
Android), as this is required for input device support (open bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1286252);
sudo mir_demo_server
And if you're not already on the VT you wish to use, that needs to be
specified:
sudo mir_demo_server --vt 1
There are plenty more options available if you run:
mir_demo_server --help
The following operations are supported:
- Quit (shut down the Mir server): *Ctrl-Alt-Backspace*
- Switch back to X: *Ctrl-Alt-F7*
- Switch virtual terminals (VTs): *Ctrl-Alt-(F1-F12)*
- Switch apps: *Alt-Tab*, tap or click on the corresponding app
- Close app: *Alt-F4*
- Switch window within app: *Alt-`*, tap or click on the window
- Close surface: *Ctrl-F4*
- Move window: *Alt-leftmousebutton* drag
- Resize window: *Alt-middle_button* drag
- Maximize/restore current window: Alt-F11
- Maximize/restore current window: Shift-F11
- Maximize/restore current window: Ctrl-F11
For those writing client code request to set the surface attribute
`mir_surface_attrib_state` are honoured:
- `mir_surface_state_restored`: restores the window
- `mir_surface_state_maximized`: maximizes size
- `mir_surface_state_vertmaximized`: maximizes height
- `mir_surface_state_horizmaximized`: maximizes width
For a quick demo try:
sudo DISPLAY= mir_demo_server --vt 1 --launch bin/mir_demo_client_egltriangle\
--test-client bin/mir_demo_client_multiwin --test-timeout 60
(Remember to unwrap the line)
### Tiling Window Manager
One option that needs elaboration is "--window-manager tiling".
This starts a (rather primitive) tiling window manager. It tracks the available
displays and splits the available workspace into "tiles" (one per client).
For a quick demo try:
sudo DISPLAY= mir_demo_server --vt 1 --launch bin/mir_demo_client_egltriangle\
--test-client bin/mir_demo_client_multiwin --test-timeout 60\
--window-manager tiling
(Remember to unwrap the line)
