Applications
XRandR replacement
I recommend supporting only what is a Virtual desktop under X
Have all video cards and their outputs mapped onto that space, dispense with Screens, Xinerama, Zaphod, other means of doing this that have been used
This is different than Khronos idea of what EGLDisplay is, but I think it works better for multi-monitor desktops
XInput replacement
xsetroot replacement
Xkb replacement
setxkbmap, xmodmap, xkbcomp, xkbprint
Indicators
xdriinfo, xdpyinfo, xprop, xwininfo Whatever makes sense in an EGL/GLES2 environment
xmag Need accessibility tools
X applications not relevant
xauth, xhost Assume all local hosts may connect, no authorization cookies
Nothing below this line is carried forward, I think:
iceauth, luit, sessreg, smproxy, x11perf, xauth, xbacklight,
xcmsdb, xcursorgen, xdpyinfo, xdriinfo, xhost, xkbevd, xkbutils, xkill,
xlsatoms, xlsclients, xpr, xprop, xrdb, xrefresh, xvinfo, xwd, xwud
