Description : new generation compositor
>From the homepage:
Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as
a C library implementation of that protocol. The compositor can be a
standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev
input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients
can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or
other display servers.
The wayland repository includes a compositor which can run as an X
client or under Linux KMS and a few clients, but both the compositor and
clients are essentially test cases.
I'm not yet sure what pieces we're going to ship, and in which binary
packages. But let's keep track in the BTS that the X Strike Force is
going to take care of it.
(I don't like the “new generation” bit in the short description,
suggestions welcome.)
KiBi.
