XWayland Receive An EGL-Based GLX Provider, Helping Various Games On Linux

I could be wrong but this should actually help getting Xwayland working on nVidia.

Who cares, nobody uses Xwayland even for casual gaming..

Really you did not read carefully.

This also paves the way for xserver to stop being a DRI driver loader, which is nice.

I use XWayland for casual gaming. I use it to play Tibia.
