I feel like the fbdev backend is a good fallback still. Maybe not for Virtual Box anymore, since there is now a driver for it in Mainline (I haven't tested it personally though) ...Currently the Framebuffer backend is the only way to get Weston working on some obscure hardware such as UDL/DisplayLink2 devices. _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
