Wayland Display Server

The Wayland Display Server by Kristian Hoegsberg running on Ubuntu 10.10 (Intel G945M) in libdrm mode.

This server is a potential replacement for X11 and integrated the compositor and the window manager processes such that everything is composited by default.

Thanks for the demo but could you please do another video where you place the camera down and don't keep moving between screens. Thanks! :D

[smSpillaz]

@AndrewTFenn I really don't see what the problem is. pause on the bits you want to see.

[hasenj]

awesome! nice work.

Can you do a small (even if incomplete) tutorial on how you set it up?

[smSpillaz]

@hasenj yes, I will do one when I get time.

Dude... Get a tripod... Besides that, nice work :) hope I can get rid of stupid X.... They are way behind the curve

[smSpillaz]

@st1gma888 I have a tripod actually. Just no time to set it up for this video :p

[rbarraud]

Dude - nice but I can't see any of the text you are entering @ the commandline. Please use a desktop recorder app for future postings FTW :)

Thanks!

[GenoSkill]

why are you using two computers to use only one i don't get it this is so stupid.

[jknvv13]

@suoko1 Better than meego!! Meego actually uses X11 but uses btrfs and clutter

[mzeo77]

I wonder how this will affect running apps remote (and yes, vnc sucks).

[miasmablk]

does it give synchronous refresh rates?

[ensignjoe]

X needs to die :)

@gavinjengel

Beautifully simple architecture and a lot less code to maintain that even Carmack wished to have the time to contribute to.

Know where i can download pre-compiled packages for ubuntu or other linux?

[ridiculeisback]

If I'm not mistaken Wayland uses OpenGL ES, won't that be potentially probelmatic for games that use standard OpenGL; or can the application call on OpenGL directly though Gallium/Mesa?

[iSeeTriangles]

Using X to watch wayland clips - how would I know if there's really no tearing, lag, redrawing or flicker? ;-P
