It's Becoming Very Easy To Run Wayland

[bridgman]

Might be tearing on your system rather than on the Wayland system ?

[ioannis]

do I see tearing ? Isn't Wayland suppose to eliminate those?

I'm curious how it works with newest ATI gallium3D drivers (on RV635). I'm gonna have to clonezilla my system (just in case, you never know..) and try this out. Can't wait any longer.

How does Wayland relate to multiseat configurations? Is it yet possible to configure multiple seats and divide the input devices between the seats?

Phoronix: It's Becoming Very Easy To Run Wayland

When Wayland started out in 2008 it was very difficult to build and run this lightweight, next-generation display server. Wayland leverages the very latest Linux graphics technologies and at that time all of Wayland's dependencies had to be patched or built from branched sources and Wayland even had its own EGL implementation at the time (Eagle) rather than Mesa and overall it was just a high barrier to entry. Wayland at that time also worked with only the open-source Intel driver, while now it can work with most any KMS / GEM / Mesa driver. It was not until recently that it became possible to build Wayland from mainline components beginning to ship in new Linux distributions, thereby making it much easier to experiment with the open-source display server. Now it's to a point where you can just run a simple script and be up and running with a Wayland Display Server in just minutes.
