          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 56495
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Xwayland needs an accelerated hardware independant ddx
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: bluescreen_avenger at verizon.net
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: weston
           Product: Wayland

This has been mentioned a few times on the Wayland IRC, so I feel it's
apropriate to open a bug report for this.

Currently, In order to use Xwayland, you either need a slightly modified ddx
for your video card, or to use the wlshm "driver"

However what probably would be better for xwayland is a fake ddx similar to
wlshm, ( most likely using egl?), so that xwayland can be hardware accelerated,
without maintaining X drivers, or requiring the xwayland server to run as root.
