I got it to work.  Some.  With both the Radeon and wlshm DDXes.

Biggest thing was adding the --xserver argument to weston.

Build instructions in my last email were correct.

To use wlshm you need to create $WLD/etc/X11/xorg.conf containing:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Device"
        Driver "wlshm" # or wlshm or intel
EndSection


And the Radeon DDX only worked outside of X, which may be related to an
"Unable to retrieve master" error.

Weston really does listen on the X socket and spawn X.org when it gets a
connection.  The X display numbers are automatically incremented, and
$DISPLAY is set appropriately, at least in weston-terminal.


This is some of my first playing with master, so I tried out
weston-launch, without success.  I added myself to the weston-launch group
as suggested, but then I kept getting write access errors - tty0, then
"tty", which strace turned up was /dev/tty8 (that error message could be
improved), then after fixing those by just making them writable by
everybody /dev/dri/card0, and I gave up and just made weston suid root
again.
