Thanks, good to know.

You only need setuid for weston, when you are running with
the DRM backend, i.e. without X. It is for getting access to
some device nodes, like input devices, and can be solved
without setuid, too.

The patch looks just what I intended, sans compositor-drm.c (if
you ever want to run it without X).

Hmm, it's probably Cairo that is still creating a Z-buffer. If
you edit config.h in the weston checkout, and comment out
HAVE_CAIRO_EGL, and rebuild, you should be able to get most
of the demo clients working. This disables GL acceleration
for them, but should have no effect on any work for window
stacking protocol, for instance.

Does simple-egl run?

Correct.

That is the Wayland protocol dump. It's most useful to enable it
for one client (in one X terminal) at a time. If you plan on
protocol work, understanding that dump will be essential. You
can match the names to the protocol XML file contents.


Thanks,
