How to fix rendering freezes when switching keyboards with Gnome in games
As I am using a MoveMaster with its extension to play games instead of using a keyboard, which are detected as two keyboards, I experience a render stalling when switching between those. For games or applications in fullscreen this can be fixed by altering the _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR value.
This is an issue affecting Ubuntu with Gnome.
Click the window first via: 'xprop'
Find the window id: 'xdotool search --all --pid [pid] --name Chromium'
Change property: 'xprop -id [windowid] -format _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR 32c -set _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR 1'

Bug report:
Desktop briefly becomes unresponsive when receiving a keypress from a different device/mapping than the last keypress (in Xorg): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+so...

Compiling failed for me due to meson tests, which can be disabled in 'debian/rules' by adding:
'export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck'
