In this slide: http://www.phoronix.net/image.php?id..._wayland_3_med
"Similar to how NVIDIA interfaces to DRM for Prime support"
But... Prime is the cross device buffer sharing framework in DRM, created for Optimus!
It's a sing of the future official support of Optimus into the NVIDIA driver?

Mir will go the way of Upstart.
Canonical is all over the place at the moment; a sort of sloppy mess of unfocused strategy and weak-kneed commitment. A half-dead fish with a vision of swimming against the flow but no vigor to do so. They squandered the mindshare capital they accumulated over the years by indulging the GNOME / Apple hubris of "we'll tell you how it's going to be".
They're done.
An also-ran soon to join the long list of yesterday's distros that litter the history of Linux.

Originally posted by bpetty View PostI doubt that is true. Mir is great simply because it has given Wayland some competition. Wayland was limping along for years, doing little to nothing, before Mir came along, "utilized the codebase", and started trying to do something with it.
Whether the timing of the Mir announcement was a coincidence or was an intentional attempt to ride on the coat-tails of the increased interested in Wayland stemming from the API stability announcement is anyone's guess, but there is no reason at all to think that Mir had any influence on the pace of work on Wayland.

Originally posted by TheBlackCat View PostYou have the timeline mixed up. Wayland announced API stability shortly before Mir was announced. It was that API stability that other projects had been waiting for before getting to work on their own Wayland implementations, and work in those projects and attention to Wayland ramped up immediately after the announcement, even before the Mir announcement.

Can't see any change in commits after March 2013, which is when Mir was announced.
