GNOME Mutter On Wayland Adds ICC Profile Support, Backlight Improvements


There were a lot of interesting changes that landed in GNOME's Mutter compositor codebase to end out the weekend and ahead of next month's big GNOME 49 release.

This has been tested on Intel graphics so far and fixes the four year old bug report over having a way for setting the full RGB range output in GNOME on Wayland. The updated Wayland seat protocol adds an "axis relative direction" feature as well as server-side key repeat abilities. Also worth pointing out is Red Hat's Sebastian Wick has written an interesting blog post highlighting the backlight changes in GNOME 49 and the impact on enhancing HDR support.
