This is just an initial step in getting Enlightenment to work Wayland-Only. A drm engine allows us to render Evas canvas' without X11 (you can test this with Expedite, just build EFL & Expedite using --enable-drm), then switch to a different VT and run: expedite -e drm (and any other options you want).
While I do appreciate the Press, once again Phoronix is not accurate
The commits today were just for a Software Rendered Drm engine.
The hardware acceleration support mentioned in the article is just preliminary code. There is no actual hardware rendering in any of the commits today. That will come soon (already have code for it, needs tweaking/fixing/merging). The hardware plane support mentioned is just initial code to allow plane detection and formats of those planes. When the hardware accelerated part of this gets flushed out, Then planes will be usable.
At any rate, this is an initial step in getting Wayland-Only Enlightenment working. With this, I Could now (in theory) run E without X11...but that requires just a bit more code to do (ecore_evas drm support, etc which is coming soon)
Hope this clears up some confusion. Any problems, questions, etc, etc please feel free to get in touch
I'm curious about the fb support in enlightenment, so I can prepare my build scripts, and launch scripts... Is that something that is working now, or unsupported, or in progress? It hangs when aI tested it....

Tizen mobile
Tizen IVI
Tizen desktop (this is the one that uses GNOME, the others don't)
Personally I'm really hoping that we see some laptops with Tizen desktop preinstalled soon. Linux would really break through to mainstream then. And Intel/Samsung/their other partners certainly have the resources to make this happen better than Canonical etc. could ever dream of.

The existing Evas FB engine Does work and you can run pretty much Any EFL app with it (including Terminology) ... but there are some rough edges there...Performance is decent tho
Check EFL autofoo for --enable-fb

I meant enlightenment_start with E_WL_FORCE=fb... but I also tried running a normal efl app under fb to test it out. It displays, but it seems there is no mouse input even when run as root
