Howdy It's time for another update from your friendly neighborhood graphics programmer. I will be keeping a live document with instructions etc here https://github.com/johalun/documentation/blob/master/wayland.md Please visit any time for information about Wayland on FreeBSD. Suggestions for improvements are welcome. Your can read all about it on Github, I just want to mention one exciting addition - the SCFB backend for Weston. Picture: https://twitter.com/johalun/status/819039940914778112 Before you had to either run Weston in a X11 window or using DRM backend which requires DRM/KMS enabled hardware driver. With the new SCFB backend, you can run Weston on any hardware or in VMs like VMWare or VirtualBox. Rendering is done with the llvmpipe render engine which has very high performance for software rendering and compositing with pixman. Have fun!
