Kristian Talks About The Wayland Display Server
,----[ Quote ]
| A few weeks back there was the Linux Plumbers
| Conference and one of talks was hosted by
| Kristian Høgsberg where he talked about his
| Wayland project. We were the first to publicly
| talk about the Wayland Display Server when it
| was in its very infancy at being an alternative
| to the X Server.

,----[ Quote ]
| It has been a while since last talking about Wayland, which is a new display
| server for Linux designed around newer X technologies like kernel
| mode-setting and the Graphics Execution Manager. Wayland is being developed
| as a side-project by Red Hat's Kristian Høgsberg. There hasn't been anything
| too exciting to report on lately within the Wayland project, but now its
| Eagle component has a working DRI2 back-end.

The Future Of EGL On Linux With Mesa, Eagle
,----[ Quote ]
| Kristian Høgsberg, the Red Hat developer largely responsible for DRI2 and
| various other X.Org innovations, had started the Wayland display server
| project last year to leverage new technologies like kernel mode-setting and
| the Graphics Execution Manager. While there is not much to report on with
| Wayland since our last update, one of the components used by Wayland is
| Eagle, another Kristian Høgsberg project.
