Hi,

yes, the usual DISPLAY as always with any X11 stuff anywhere. Weston
will set it, so all processes that inherit their environment from
Weston will have it readily set, e.g. the launchers you can set up in
weston.ini.

Do note that xeyes specifically will only react to mouse when the
pointer is on any X11 window. The X server cannot see any Wayland
windows and cannot eavesdrop on input either.


Thanks,
