So, I will be able to display wayland session, or did you mean individual
wayland apps, onto an X server, over an X protocol connection, to a
standard X server? If it is an entire wayland session tht can be displayed
over X protocol to a standard X server, that would be sufficient, as long
as the wayland session can be displayed only to the X server and does not
have to be displayed to real hardware at the same time.
