You can also search Phoronix for several more articles about the proposed "memory device allocator".
The arguments from various developers (desktop, wm etc) about not wanting multiple parallel code paths to work on with different buffer infrastructure are totally with merit from my point of view.
I could easily accuse Nvidia of "embrace and extend" which is a tactic a few of the older readers may remember (which is along the lines of what they did, imho with Cuda vs OpenCL)

Originally posted by dragon321 View PostTo be fair - GBM is Mesa solution and Nvidia doesn't use Mesa. It's free software, so You can't force everybody to use Mesa. EGL in Xwayland isn't for Nvidia. It's for users. Thanks to this option more users can use Xwayland. Is this bad?
