  • XWayland being under active development again

    I've just noticed that XWayland has got some recent development (last change is less than two days ago) in the "xwayland" branch. Apparently it is no longer based on Xorg 1.12 but the current Xorg 1.14.

    I've been playing with it for some time in weston running on intel GPU (with driver from xwayland branch) and it seems to work quite nicely. I applaud the wayland developers for doing a great job. It still does have some rough edges and it doesn't seem to be ready for general use though. For example, the windows using XWayland are missing minimize/maximize/close buttons and the cursor changes to the "black x" cursor when the mouse is over such windows.

    BTW: does anyone know how to change the mouse/touchpad sensitivity in weston?

        So far I had no luck finding it.

        I haven't tried any, but it run glxgears. And it had higher FPS than on Xorg with compositing enabled (with compositing disabled Xorg was faster by a few FPS).

        Yes, it is in the original post. Here it is again: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xse...og/?h=xwayland

        BTW: today I noticed that the x cursor is shown only when the cursor is over the window decorations, it is correct when inside the window.

          Nice compositing on and its around the same speed as Xorg no compositing this looks really good what Linux you running it on Btw? i use Arch most of the time as a testbed

                    Seriously, how do you guys do this? It hasn't compiled for me in weeks.

                    xserver with the xwayland branch compiles normally.
                    xf86-video-intel with the xwayland branch:

                    Code:
                    sna_driver.c:434:2: error: implicit declaration of function ?hosted? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
                      if (hosted() && (sna->flags & SNA_IS_HOSTED) == 0) {
                      ^
                    sna_driver.c:434:2: warning: nested extern declaration of ?hosted? [-Wnested-externs]
                    cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
                    With --disable-sna:
                    Code:
                    intel_dri.c:1641:7: error: ?xorgWayland? undeclared (first use in this function)
                      if (!xorgWayland) {
                           ^
                    (note: In ./src/intel_driver.h: there is #define hosted() (xorgWayland))
