Let's explore the basic idea for my Google Summer of Code project for X.Org. This means talking about how Xwayland currently handles the graphic buffers of its applications, why this leads to tearing and how we plan to change that.
After last week's overview of XWayland we will dig deeper this time into the inner workings of XWayland.
In this week's article for my ongoing Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project I give an overview of XWayland's inner working.
One of my project ideas got accepted to Google Summer of Code and I now have the opportunity to work on a very interesting project concerning Xwayland for the X.Org Foundation.
Not only, but to a large extent I worked in the last few months on foundational improvements to KWin's DRM backend, which is a central building block of KWin's Wayland session.
We count the last days of 2016 so it's time for a little recap.
