xwayland

If XWayland drop supports for DDX, then drivers that want to offer accellerated 2D on it have to support Glamor.

And XWayland should assure this, since you'll be able to run applications that don't support X on Wayland in a seamless way.

It brought the system to a crawl, but I believe it was using Xwayland and not native.

And now nvidia are complaining that unless XWayland can have direct hardware access, they don't really have a path planned to supporting OpenGL and the like on XWayland, presumably due to them not supporting Wayland?

XWayland still need works, and without it no distro will ship Wayland.

Could someone quickly recap what DDX and glamor are, and how they relate to XWayland, Xorg, Wayland, and nVidia binary drivers.

Nice, so I assume it will now run under 'pure' Wayland rather than XWayland?

* Two-finger scrolling works in xwayland (though twice as fast as usual) but not at all in shell.

If we're lucky, the KMS+Wayland+XWayland stack will end up with a better architecture, backwards compatibility, and less code than the old XOrg.

Your regularly scheduled updates will get you on board, though I assume it'll be in compatibility mode with XWayland for quite some time.

And XWayland can help for those who lag behind.

The equivalent of XEmbed (to put the flash content in the page) in Wayland is writing a nested Wayland compositor which would be compatible with an XWayland window.

It says, "This direction seems to conflict with our plans to continue running our DDX driver under XWayland." The rest of the email isn't exactly positive, as well.

Xwayland honors the setting but the shell is still qwerty.
