“Since first talking about Wayland back in November,
this display server has advanced a fair amount. Intel kernel
mode-setting has also entered the mainline Linux kernel and the ATI
kernel mode-setting support is preparing to go mainline in Linux
2.6.31 or 2.6.32. Wayland has EGL and GLX based compositors, in
December it picked up a working terminal, and in time for Christmas
there was even the ability to run dual X Servers side-by-side in
Wayland. In February its Eagle EGL stack had working DRI2 support
and a month later a Clutter back-end was in development. However,
when it comes to the Wayland code-base itself, not much activity
has taken place within the past two months. In fact, the last Git
commit was on the 17th of March.”
