      OK ... that doesn't actually mean anything.

          ...obviously he means they've finally cracked the problem of creating a generic graphics interface that has no dependencies other than the kernel...you know... a framebuffer

              Except it doesn't work well, at least with the intel driver.

              A few months ago it actually worked for a short time, even with OpenGL, but it was very crashy and X clients would often just lose the connection.

              A few weeks ago it just segfaulted the xserver when starting any X client in weston on a tty and when starting an X client using opengl in weston in X. A few weeks past that it still did the same.

              Now there were a few commits to xwayland and the intel driver so I tested it again. I used the wayland/weston versions from archlinux repos and xwayland/xf86-video-intel from git. First, I had to google a weston 1.0.5 tarball since http://freedesktop.org/ is 503. Again. What's with that website, that it's unavailable so often?

              Positive: xwayland in weston as an X client works well now, even with opengl.
              Negative: In a tty, xwayland still segfaults when starting any x client (I tried xterm):

              I don't see where exactly the permission problem is, so I don't really know how to workaround it. weston-launch at least has +s.

              So if they have an accelerated X client in MIR, they are de facto already better than wayland/weston.

                That's strange. What Intel chip do you have? My Intel HD3000 works fine on Arch with XWayland (in TTY). I'm not using AUR packages though. I manually compiled wayland, weston, mesa, xorg (xwayland-1.12 branch), and xf86-video-intel (xwayland branch) from git.

                  HD 4000 from ivy bridge.

                  The last crash comes from 3.9rc1 I think, I had similar hangs when just switching from tty to X, so that was unfair as it wasn't wayland/weston's fault.

                  In the past I had compiled wayland, weston, xwayland and the xf86-video-intel xwayland driver from git, this time it was wayland from the repositories, the xwayland-1.12 branch from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver, the xwayland branch from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel and a recompiled weston 1.0.5 with just "--enable-xwayland --with-xserver-path=/opt/xwayland/bin/Xorg" added.

                  also, freedesktop.org still unavailable. Really?

                    Ah, I'm using the latest stable kernel, 3.8.2. That said, I do experience some XWayland segfaults, but only when I try to run an OpenGL program. With regular usage, I'm not seeing any crashes.

                    I've been able to access freedesktop.org git repos all day, but that's on a different server. EDIT: Their main website is loading fine here.
