Hello, April fools' day. You can try wayland with MeeGo in console mode now.
After login in via console, just type "wayland-test", then you can try other wayland apps from wayland-terminal. (/usr/bin/wayland-*) Q: Any preparation? A: Yes. Change to console mode. sed -i "s#id:5:initdefault#id:3:initdefault#" /etc/inittab Q: How to install/run it? A: a. Install MeeGo[1] with a Intel gfx card. (GenX) b. Add the package repo[2] to /etc/zypp/repos.d/wayland.repo c. Install related packages: zypper in libxkbcommon mesa-libwayland-egl wayland wayland-demos cairo libdrm libX11 mesa-dri-i915-driver mesa-libEGL mesa-libGLESv2 pixman d. Run wayland-test Q: Can it use X as the backend? A: No. It can do so but there is some bug in my rpm packages. Q: Any more reference? A: http://wayland.freedesktop.org/ Q: Anything else? A: Yes. More packages need to be added, bugs to be fixed, X related packages to be cleaned up. The most important is to add devel packages to it. But no plan.
