You can run desktop OpenGL on Wayland just fine. As an example, Piglit/Waffle contains hundreds of small OpenGL applications which at can run on EGL/Wayland, EGL/X11, or GLX, and decide which to use purely at run-time. libGL does contain GLX, so there are X build dependencies. But that doesn't mean your application is "tied to X". X does not need to be running. That said, it would be great if someone who knows dispatch would revisit the new OpenGL ABI issue. nVidia put together a great proposal for new separate libOpenGL.so and libGLX.so libraries, and us Mesa folks have pretty much dropped the ball. :( --Ken
