VirtualBox DDX Released As xf86-video-vboxvideo 1.0

Back to topic, please...

Why can't they standardize the Virtual Machine/Hypervisor drivers and all Virtual Machines/Hypervisors use the same? This is a mess, code duplication nonsense to me...

and how many of those support "supported ny nvidia" egl steams?

GNOME, Enlightenment and umerged patches to Weston.

Does it matter? Wayland isn't GBM only and leave buffer management API to compositor. You can't tell GBM compositor/driver is Wayland compatible, while EGL Streams not. Wayland doesn't depends on them.

so, not wayland, but two compositors support this nvidia-only hack

of course i can. gbm is supported by all compositors and all drivers.

GBM isn't not supported by all drivers. It's supported by Mesa drivers. It's not 'all'. EGL Streams is still Wayland compatible and lack of GBM support doesn't matter in this. Wayland doesn't specify API to buffer management, so GBM isn't more important solution than EGL Streams. It's Mesa solution, not Linux or Wayland solution.

there are no other drivers on linux. nvidia ships windows blob with shim

There are. For example - AMDGPU-Pro (doesn't using Mesa). Nobody said that only Mesa drivers are "true drivers for Linux". Nvidia driver is Linux driver, just like Mesa. So no, GBM isn't multiplatform. GBM is Mesa only.
