Wayland, Weston 0.85.0 released
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 10th Feb 2012 23:46 UTC
X11, Window Managers "This is the first real release of Wayland and Weston. Wayland is the protocol and IPC mechanism while Weston is the reference compositor implementation. The 0.85 branch in both repositories is going to be protocol and interface stable. We have a series of protocol changes on the table before 1.0 but this branch marks a stable point before we jump into that." Change is coming to the Linux world. And yes, I get the irony of using this particular icon, but it's the closest I could find.

No, there's only experimental GEM support for intel GPUs. Nothing for Radeons.


The question was about KMS (Kernel Modesetting) support.

Open source Radeon drivers absolutely do support KMS.

Wow... Try to keep up... The discussion was about KMS on FreeBSD, specifically, which does not exist at all for radeon hardware.
