EGL Drivers and Mir/Wayland
Hello, I am still not 100% positive what exactly EGL is, but I saw people talking about it on a forum thread, and some were saying that if AMD/Nvidia were to release EGL-compatible drivers, these drivers would work with both the Mir and Wayland display servers, as they both use EGL. Is this true? Does that mean these companies would only have to release one proprietary driver that supports EGL and it would work on both Mir and Wayland? I'm not asking Ubuntu developers to say what Nvidia or AMD will do, just making a "what if" scenario here. Thanks!

Mir with Proprietary Drivers
Hello, I have a quick question about the upcoming release of Mir. I know that when Ubuntu 13.10 is released, Mir will ship as the default display server, unless the user uses a proprietary driver, in which case it will fall back to X. But what happens when that fallback is removed in 14.04 LTS if AMD / Nvidia have not released proprietary drivers? Will we still be able to use the drivers they supply now? I don't think it would be possible, but am I wrong? I'm a gamer, so proprietary drivers are essential, unless the open-source drivers have an extreme overhaul.
