Running Wayland on VMware

[Pier Luigi Fiorini]

Hello, 

I'm trying to run one of the QtCompositor examples (qwindow-compositor) on VMware from my Linux distribution which doesn't support X11 on purpose.

Mesa was built from git (checked out July 2nd at midnight) with the following options:

    --with-gallium-drivers=r300,r600,nouveau,svga,swrast \
    --with-dri-drivers=i915,i965,r200,radeon,swrast \
    --with-egl-platforms=drm,wayland \
    --enable-egl \
    --enable-gallium-llvm \
    --disable-gallium-egl \
    --enable-gbm \
    --enable-shared-glapi \
    --enable-shared-dricore \
    --enable-gles1 \
    --enable-gles2 \
    --enable-dri \
    --disable-glx


libdrm was built from the latest git version.

So I load the vmwgfx kernel module (kernel 3.4.2) but running qwindow-compositor -platform kms as root from the VMware console gives me this error:

--------------------BEGIN-------------------------
libEGL debug: Native platform type: drm (environment overwrite)
libEGL debug: EGL search path is /system/lib/egl
libEGL debug: added egl_dri2 to module array
libEGL debug: the best driver is DRI2
kms initialized with geometry QRect(0,0 2560x1600) 
created gbm surface 0x14f8600 2560 1600 
created window surface 
Mesa warning: couldn't open libtxc_dxtn.so, software DXTn compression/decompression unavailable
Failed to retrieve the get_egl_context function
Failed to initialize egl display



----------------END of LOG------------

Although I'm QtCompositor instead of Weston, this problem seems not related to the compositor itself - hope I don't bother you in vain.

Anybody manage to get Wayland working on VMware?
