Let's Attempt to use Wayland, the Substitute X

Experiment this time is about Wayland. According to a page on the website Wayland, Wayland is a protocol for the compositor to connect with his clients as a C library implementation of the protocol. Compositor itself can be a display standalone server that runs on the Linux kernel mode setting and evdev input devices, can also be the X applications, or client Wayland itself. Wayland Clients can be either traditional applications, the X server (without a screen or full screen), or displays any other server. Will start a little dizzy information? I also was at first. But after I tried it myself, I can say that this is supposed to be a compositor display in Linux. I still do not know if Wayland can be used on other operating systems such as BSD Unix or MS Windows. But if we look at the architecture design Wayland Wayland should be used anywhere, including on machines with embedded systems. So not impossible later machines a Linux-based router / BSD will have a graphical display that will appear on the screen while on-remote admin.

One thing that makes me interested in Wayland is in its ability to speak directly with the hardware through the kernel. Unlike the X server that requires client only talks to the X server is running, the client can initiate Wayland hardware directly through the hardware abstraction layer of the kernel. Much like X, but the difference Wayland client’s instructions not through a server like X but directly translated by Wayland to the console. If we run Weston (Wayland client in the console) then any instructions that we run in Wayland is actually the instructions on the console where you login. For example we logged on the console VT1. So the instructions that we run in Weston only run on VT1. When I tried to use a terminal program that supports Weston’s VTE libraries, instructions that I run in the terminal appears also in VT1.
