    In the release notes it mentions that many stuff cannot run on virtualbox even on pure software stack. Could anyone explain why.


    I fucken tried stuff and i can't even get weston to start in Vbox. And what bugs me more is that i've seen videos of it running. (yes i suck i computers i know)

      Benchmark of SuperTux2 on Wayland vs X (vs DirectFB/the likes if available?) and on multiple compositors / pure X please!

        Oh yes, that would be interesting.

        Add mir into the mix to make it a flamebait post too if that's possible.

          In order to get Weston to work on VirtualBox, it has to fall back to the framebuffer backend (And that is one of the features of the WaylandLoginManager to support falling back from mode setting to Framebuffer, and not list sessions that don't support framebuffers). Enlightenment and Gnome Shell do not have framebuffer backends. Even with the VBox additions, the drivers are missing one feature, that I forget what exactly it is, but it is not a Mesa issue, as it fails even with the pixman backend on VirtualBox

            Not sure if SuperTux2 has a working benchmark mode off hand.

              Michael doesn't need help making flamebait posts. He does just fine on his own, thank you very much.

                Thanks. It was failing with various stuff i tried and i was also reading various sucsess posts. On top there was a video of a guy running weston IVI (if i remember correctly) on Vbox. I tried the same procedure and i was failing. At least someone like you confirmed that it doesn't work.

                  Not entirely true

                  This is not entirely true ... Enlightenment does have a framebuffer backend. EFL supports it via ecore_fb library, and enlightenment supports it via the wl_fb module.

                    Sorry. It's been a while since I last tried E_WL_FORCE=fb
                    It didn't work the last time I tried a few months ago, I forget the exact error/sypthoms I got....
