Hi 
I would like to know about the wayland support in chromium 
1)  Igalia pushed code related to wayland support for chromium, did it reach the mainline?
2) if yes why is the chrome now starting in kwin_wayland
3) is it possible to bypass wayland and use the  ozone gbm like that chrome os in Ubuntu?


Thanks
Parithy

Hi,

The Wayland support is still under development and not officially
shipped. However, you can build ozone/Wayland support with the following
args:

use_ozone=true
ozone_platfrom_wayland=true
use_xkbcommon=true
use_system_minigbm=true
use_system_libdrm=true.

Although, ozone/Wayland is pretty mature, we cannot ship it until X11 is
migrated to ozone as well.

At the moment, we are heavily working on migration from X11 to ozone/X11
that will make the same binary run both on X11 and Wayland.

But now, only X11 is officially shipped and there are no plans to
publish two binaries for different backends.
