You have to transfer the video to the graphics card anyway because of the connection to the display.

The most optimal way would be to load the video into the graphics card memory and decode,...

That's the way to go.

OpenGL compatibility profile is lame. If you want to port to a new OpenGL version you should be prepared to mess with your code because you intend to change your piece of...

The EDID specification is also crap.
One example: the resolution and refresh frequency is known through a code which requires a table to know what the code stands for.
There...

This should be a priority over the other solutions because it is about a bug, limitation.

Very good feature. Good to see hardware acceleration mentioned.
Remember software is only as good as the hardware it runs on.

Being able to use hardware instead of software is a big win in...

I would like to see them solve their responsiveness and performance problems stemming from threading and GUI architecture together with implementing SVG fonts. SVG fonts does not seem like a priority...

A good point to note is that the EDID specification is pretty much crap.
Normally needing a driver CD with an inf file would be unnecessary if you could just have a configuration file specified and...

Interesting, looking forward.

Would like a stable package installation format and API.

They could do OpenCL decoders that would work on a wide range of devices without rewriting.
Could do a lot for HW acceleration.

ARM should have provided unified stuff for this from day 1 so vendors wouldn't have this problem. Who thinks having a standardized instruction set is enough if how to load software on it isn't...

Or you could do the api so the first thing it asks is a version of the protocol.
And then how to agree on what version to use.

Then you can break it without causing insurmountable problems.

Too bad they GTK+ does not provide for being able to use a random rendering and javascript engine.
Then they could have used Gecko and other things instead.

The issue is around that problems arise, mistakes can be made.
Taking great care in designing things is a good protection to avoid problems but is not a guarantee things are perfect and will never...

You have to be able to improve the API and ABI.
Sometimes this means changing things.
A good version system is much easier to get right then a whole ABI, API of Wayland and Weston.

Some interesting comments about it:...

Promising too much binary compatibility would be a dumb rookie mistake.
People are fallible there for making a system where everything has to be correct the first time or we are stuck forever with...
