Status updata: weston now can create accelerated GL window using my GLX powerd EGL
but weston-desktop-shell segfautl, so currently bland screen. :) Will dig into it . 2012/7/20 Scott Moreau <[email protected]>: >> >> Personally I feel this is necessary if wayland is going to succeed. > > > Wayland is already successful in a large way.
