Testing the changes

  • I tested the changes in this PR: briefly

The PR adds the patch suggested in this issue where the current version of picom causes a black screen with the egl or glx backend: yshui/picom#1511

With this patch the issue was resolved on my system.

Bah what a crunchy bug, can't find it in testing with my hardware and it's probably in mesa.

Anyways, the patch seems to work for you and others and is blessed by upstream, I think it's good to merge

There is a possibility that this is fixed in mesa 26.1
We are currently shipping mesa 26.0 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/dfbadedc02c910265108f375daa1648de15df866?merge_request_iid=40565

I can test this without the patch with meta 26.1 once it is shipped and see if it is fixed.
