GLAMOR Sees More Improvements For What Will Eventually Be X.Org Server 1.21

That's wayland support, not xwayland.

Remove the linux kernel and see how well vulkan games do run in your wayland desktop where Xwayland is used.

Think what you are.

How did you think that has anything to do with XWayland? It's just plain Wayland.

The entire point of XWayland is to be backwards compatible as far as any client applications are concerned, which means by definition it's entirely within the X.Org project. Mesa just has normal X code, and the implementation of how that works is for X to decide.

should not be in the mesa master.

It was never part of Mesa. It is part of X.Org.

You are so unbelievable.

This is actually sad, because currently Vulkan apps is broken on XWayland.

Do you mean full screen apps that do not render until you set them to window mode with borders? This one is fixed in the latest xorg update and all games work fine now for me on xwayland!

And those vulkan apps don't natively work on Wayland, I presume?

It's been nearly one year already since the X.Org Server 1.20 release but there's been no definitive timeline yet for X.Org Server 1.21 nor the start of any release/test candidates.

Phoronix: GLAMOR Sees More Improvements For What Will Eventually Be X.Org Server 1.21

We haven't been seeing as much GLAMOR activity these days but then again the pace of X.Org Server development has certainly slowed up in recent years. GLAMOR as a reminder allows for X.Org Server 2D acceleration to happen in a generic manner via OpenGL / GLES and has been a common area for improvement...
