Hi Bill,

could you try commenting out the line
	EGL_DEPTH_SIZE, 1,
from compositor-x11.c?

I would very much like to know if that helps. If it gets Weston running
(all clients might still fail), you could try removing it from
everywhere in the weston repo.

Whether this helps or not, it's all about bugs in the nvfx driver
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MesaDrivers
or the Nouveau gallium bits.

Weston does not use z-buffer for anything, but some clients might.


Thanks,
pq
