    Phoronix: Simple DMA-BUF Client Posted For Wayland's Weston

    David Herrmann is out with a lot of new code this week. One of his interesting bits of code is the simple-dmabuf client for Wayland's Weston compositor...

    Wayland still have no mouse pointer acceleration, poor D-Bus integration, and Weston have no minimize window function.

      and it's still better than all the others.

        Where does this guy find so much time for coding ? lol
        In my school we don't have time to participate in any project

          And will never have, since that is to be handled by the compositor.

          What should integrate?

          That instead is a Wayland thing, as the needed protocol is missing. It's being worked on, though.

            Why do you need a mouse? The interface of the future is made of big cubes with flashy effects that you rotate with your hands xD

              1.) well wayland and evdev handle pointer raw and with a dedicated buffer on hardware, what weston miss is the option to set pointer speed[not sure if gnome/kf5 do it already though]
              2.) dbus has nothing to do with wayland, you mean compositor and you can try mutter/kwin5[very very git though] already that handle dbus where appropiate just fine
              3.) OMFG again, are you for real asking this again? weston is an toy COMPOSITOR and is unrelated to wayland and it don't minimize simply because devs havent agreed in 1 way to do so from the 500 options available, if you wanna try minimize[seem this is like something extracted from star trek to you] you can try mutter/kwin5 wayland compositors that minimize just peachy

                Can someone in plain english explain what this update does? If this update related to Nvidia optimus?

                This is why "some" people in industry have the opinion that it's impossible to work with open source communities and that they move slowly. Just saying. Fsk'ing pick one, write in the documentation that you don't have to use the example one, and move on for god's sake.

                  Weston is a living code example, they don't have to worry much about it, kwin/mutter/efl are the ones that do. The problem come from people that can't understand that weston is a live documentation example of how to make a very very basic compositor for wayland and is completely unrelated to wayland and the fact that weston is not used or share code with any other big compositor like mutter or kwin.

                    Actually Weston is a very solid and complete compositor. The toy part is the shell.
