</div></div>Hi,<br>
<br>
there is very little point in running Wayland on top of X, unless you<br>
are developing or simply curious. What is your aim?<br></blockquote><div><br>"Proprietary driver restriction" for running Wayland on the HW, so running it on top of X.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

If you can get a GL ES 2 context by EGL on X on your platform, then I<br>
guess it could work. </blockquote><div><br>Yes, this might be possible. But<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">If your system does not use Mesa for 3D drivers,<br>
