- Wayland
Wayland is a replacement for the X11 window system protocol and architecture with the aim to be easier to develop, extend, and maintain Wayland is the language (protocol) that applications can use to talk to a display server in order to make themselves visible and get input from the user (a person)
- Wayland FAQ - freedesktop. org
The Wayland architecture integrates the display server, window manager and compositor into one process You can think of Wayland as a toolkit for creating clients and compositors
- Wayland Architecture - freedesktop. org
A good way to understand the wayland architecture and how it is different from X is to follow an event from the input device to the point where the change it affects appears on screen
- Wayland
Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a C library implementation of that protocol The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a Wayland client itself
- Wayland
The 1 0 4 versions of Wayland and Weston were released The 1 0 4 releases are maintenance releases and most importantly fix a CPU eating bug in the weston plane code
- Chapter 4. Wayland Protocol and Model of Operation
The Wayland protocol provides clients a mechanism for sharing data that allows the implementation of copy-paste and drag-and-drop The client providing the data creates a wl_data_source object and the clients obtaining the data will see it as wl_data_offer object
- Chapter 1. Introduction - freedesktop. org
Overall, the philosophy of Wayland is to provide clients with a way to manage windows and how their contents is displayed Rendering is left to clients, and system wide memory management interfaces are used to pass buffer handles between clients and the compositing manager
- Chapter 5. X11 Application Support - freedesktop. org
There are two separate asynchronous communication channels between Xwayland and a Wayland compositor: one uses the Wayland protocol, and the other one, solely for XWM, uses X11 protocol This setting demands great care from the XWM implementation to avoid (random) deadlocks with Xwayland
