Hello Daniel,

I would like to thank you for very fast answer.

The primary reason I posted this Bugzilla was to help Sam. But I had aside
agenda as well. To better understand the whole Xorg server and Wayland server 
architectures, which you greatly contributed to it/understanding! :-)

And here is what I got from your explanation.

[1] Regarding X11 clients and Xorg server I am correct, as I see;
[2] For Wayland clients, the following picture shows correct relations between
Wayland clients and Mesa, which beneath has something lookalike DRI3
implementation for the 3D applications:

[3] I missed point where X11 client has to connect to Wayland server, if
Wayland is chosen as server. in such a case, Wayland will continue to support
legacy Xorg server architecture, but ONLY for DRI3. In other words, backward
compatibility for X11 clients on Wayland server is supported, but ONLY for
DRI3.

One more question for you, Daniel, if you allow: do you guys, allow Wayland
clients to run with Xorg server? I assume the answer is NO (forward
compatibility for Wayland clients on Xorg server is not supported)?

Thank you,
_nobody_
