    Phoronix: Part Of XWayland Has Been Proposed For Mainlining

    Red Hat's Adam Jackson has proposed a set of ten XWayland patches that be merged into the mainline X.Org Server. These changes lay the groundwork for merging the rest of the X.Org Server changes for supporting this X11 compatibility layer to Wayland...

      he also had to send out 7 more patches for this



      This is to make it so DIX ABI doesn't vary between rootless and non-rootless
      builds. Mostly a resend of a previous series, but #7 is new.

        XOrg and windows/mac

        Would these changes allow to run XOrg rootless in windows or macOS (or even AmigaOS, OS/2 and others), allowing to a seamless work with X apps under these systems?

          Cool

          About time!
          This should have been done long ago!
          Hope they finally get merged!
          Really looking forward to it!

            Well you can since you don't program against X11 but use toolkits like GTK,Qt or SDL and they all have the proper backends for other platforms anyway.

              The X server already runs rootless on those platforms - this is making it easier to use that existing code on Linux & Unix platforms.
