I have played with Wayland on FreeBSD and its NOT compatible with X11. Its something >>>new<<<, a constantly fancy pancy moving target. Also it is not network friendly (no client-server architecture) you need to use VNC and this sux because of latency. I even tried to port some stuff to Wayland@FBSD (i.e. Enlightenment WM) but I failed there is too much Linux hardcoded stuff. So I still use Xorg myself :-) :-)
I can understand minimal port of Xorg it has strong merit to port existing applications to NuttX. We even have display server - client examples! FB + LVGL is enough for us at that level and quite equivalent :-) Over Wayland I would prefer to see native SDL implementation on NuttX but that is another story :-) We could think of Wayland on NuttX when it gets stable and mature enough on a desktop.. and there would be good reason to invest time into that work :-) My 12 cents :D Have a good weekend folks :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info On Fri, Feb 2, 2024 at 3:53 PM Alan C.
