Title: mesa-kms is not Mesa-specific, so needs renaming Status in Mir: New Status in mir package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: mesa-kms is not Mesa-specific, so needs renaming. I suggest renaming mesa-kms to gbm-kms. For a long time it wasn't clear which name was more appropriate but now it is. I have seen one OEM implement Wayland support for their proprietary hardware as custom binaries completely replacing the Mesa binaries: libgbm.so.1 libEGL.so.1 libGLESv2.so.2 It works, and it should work for Mir too. So in this way our driver 'mesa-kms' should more accurately be called 'gbm-kms'. Because we are not bound to a specific "Mesa" library, just to GBM ABI level 1. And the driver gbm-kms (formerly known as mesa-kms) should transparently support non-Mesa implementations of GBM.
