Phoronix: XWayland Is Still Being Worked On

While released yesterday was X.Org Server 1.14 RC1, there won't be XWayland support for this next X.Org Server release due out in Q2'2013. However, XWayland support continues to be worked on by Wayland developers so X.Org applications/games can be supported...

Too bad it didn't get merged.
I was really looking forward to it...

I still dont get why wayland and weston are such a mess in the bigger distros.... yes maybe in gentoo or arch or xy its better but in ubuntu and in fedora (latest) its just not usable... in most cases I dont even get a mouse curser... in fedora at least as root user I get a mouse... and can start a console, but no firefox starts or anything... I thought it should work with this Xcompatability.

or does wayland only work if you start weston in a x-window?

its now like 2 monts in 1.0 state or longer? I dont get why there is nothing close to usable out there (at least it seems so)...

xwayland, wayland and weston are 3 different things. The protocol is at version 1.0. Weston, the reference implementation of the wayland protocol, also a compositor, is also at this version. Xwayland isn't wayland by any means, it's a bride between wayland and X to work nicely together, it was never released as stable and won't be any time soon, hence there's no reason for Firefox etc to work at all.

Maybe you still encounter https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51647

Well. First you need xwayland AND a fitting xwayland ddx like xf86-video-intel working.

The xwayland "documentation" has been updated: http://wayland.freedesktop.org/xserver.html
When using

weston-launch -- --modules=xwayland.so

you should theoretically be able to start an X application. weston/wayland weston would then start X by itself and display the x application in a window in weston. It worked for me fine on radeon a while ago (when you still had to use --xserver) but when I recently tried on intel xwayland wouldn't start. As it's a complete X.org server you can watch for log files in /var/log/Xorg.*

k thanx for the info... if you not need wayland but just test it in 2-5 mins just for fun... its a bit hard to get something useful running ^^ I have a radeon (zacate) so when I have time I try it that way...

[ChrisXY]

Well, I had a little time today and seeing the guide now recommends another repository for xwayland than when I tried last I tried again.

Nope. Maybe I need to shut down my X that is running on another tty, I may try that later.

*snip, everything seems fine, at least to me*
