Amazing work, Chris! As far as I know, Enlightenment is the first DE to actually run on Wayland and still support launching "legacy" X applications. Is that true?

What I was wondering is how much Weston is involved in this? I understand that a lot of Wayland-based stuff basically piggy-backs Weston at the minute. Is Weston a dependency, or is some code taken from Weston, or is this completely independent of Weston?

Originally posted by devilhorns View PostOk, before all the speculation and misinformation starts, let me clear up some things and make some corrections to this article...
The stuff that got pushed today is for running Enlightenment without X11. It renders using it's own Wayland compositor. When built without X support, the compositor will render using DRM. What is mentioned in the article about being "full" needs some clarification.
First, this is full Wayland support (meaning it supports everything that current wayland supports, minus xdg-shell which is coming).
What is is NOT is Full Enlightenment support (meaning that some Enlightenment features do not function yet...some Enlightenment modules may not load, or may not function 100%).
The bugs I mentioned in the Readme are Not bugs with the Wayland implementation. They are bugs concerning the running of Enlightenment itself in a wayland only setup.
With regard to the XWayland portion of this article ... I do already have code for that, it's just not pushed to git yet
And by the way, the name is Chris Michael .. Not Chris Michaels

Enlightenment 0.19 Lands Full Wayland Support, Its Own Compositor
Phoronix: Enlightenment 0.19 Lands Full Wayland Support, Its Own Compositor
As expected the Enlightenment 0.19 release features full support for Wayland, down to serving as its own compositor and running directly off the DRM graphics device...
