I watched this video on you tube of the Wayland display sevrer that the linux guys are all pumped up about. do they realize that windows and beos had this capability over a decade ago “well maybe not windows”
replicant, drag and drop, application interoperability ??
seriously ?
Wow, they missed the boat.
Should have bought a be box.

if your a Haiku user and you don’t have media downloader for watching youtube videos. drop me a email and I’ll email you a copy.
It’s a display server, specifically a compositing window display server. The video demonstrates that it supports creating and managing windows, that they’re composited properly, that’s about all the video was intended for.
Proponents of Wayland believe the design is a good match to the direction taken by modern hardware. Obviously Haiku has nothing whatsoever to say about that, since it’s scarcely using the video hardware at all, doing most operations in software and leaving only the scanout to the video chip.

Actually if you look at it, it sort of goes after a few interoperability issues that have been very persistant with Linux for a long long time.
Its a bit more then a display model. If you look under the hood.
