- 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 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 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 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 This is where we are now with X: The kernel gets an event from an input device and sends it to X through the evdev input driver

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
Basic Principles The Wayland protocol is an asynchronous object oriented protocol All requests are method invocations on some object The requests include an object ID that uniquely identifies an object on the server Each object implements an interface and the requests include an opcode that identifies which method in the interface to invoke

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
Xwayland processes all the X11 requests On the other end, Xwayland is a Wayland client that connects to the Wayland compositor The X11 window manager (XWM) is an integral part of the Wayland compositor XWM uses the usual X11 window management protocol to manage all X11 windows in Xwayland
