🚧 Changes:

_{For all changes, see the full commit log.}

• 26c8bca - bump qutselect to 3.16
• 6bd1404 - remove 01-mouse.conf modifications in S42LoadNetFiles as we switched to libinput which does not support the old Resolution setting anyway.
• 6a838f3 - reworked setrootpix to also add _XSETROOT_ID for xsetroot compatibility
• c7a6cbd - added new setrootpix buildroot package to compile and integrate a 'setrootpix' utility which can be used instead of xsetroot to set the X11 background in a solid-color using a 1x1 pixmap tiled by the X server. This is done in a way that a potential X11 compositor (e.g. xcompmgr) will take care to keep the background color intact (which xsetroot does not seem to allow).
• 65c718d - use xcompmgr with less compositing styles making it more lightweight.
• 8123ee4 - add zoom to qutselect-disconnect.sh
• 4e0e100 - add xcompmgr to bring up an X11 compositor up.
• a6cb87b - bump buildroot to 2025.11.1
• a983d77 - disable X11 debugging options
• 0fb75e5 - bump upstream kernel to 6.12.66
• 11a182c - reworked X11 xorg config to better fit general config styles. retired old/obsolete options. In addition switched from evdev/synpatics input devices uses to general and more modern libinput.
• c50059b - make sure not to select internal microphones and just external ones including ones provided by a webcam
• 1993491 - enable glamoregl X11 module and switch to modesetting driver
• 1d85cfa - switch from obsolete SWRAST to LLVMPIPE, enabled PIPEWIRE package support and also add two X11 debug packages for being able to debug potential GLX support issues.
• 4a3ee38 - switch iris driver setup to DRI3 to work correctly and setup our X11 with proper hardware-accelerated GLX support.
• 9072441 - enabled user namespaces and changed setup in sysctl.conf for CONFIG_USER_NS to work correctly. This is required for the chrome sandbox to work correctly when potentially using a Zoom client or chrome directly.
