I do not know how good wayland really is and if it has all the needed answers for the 3D desktop in future, i hope it will be more than just A layer running gfx, it will be THE layer to run gfx. X11 on top of it, hopefully running as a seperate client, should only be used to run old apps and stuff that has not been ported to the new system. Like Rosetta on OSX. One thing is bad, that NVIDIA from the start said, that they will not support wayland. Linux as a server was the past, Linux for the cool rocking fast 3D desktop is the future :-) CU _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
