Do you mean even purely Vulkan based compositor will need GBM/EGLstreams? Or only when it needs to create an OpenGL context (which is obviously necessary to support as well).
Then I suppose Nvidia should finish their proposed common memory manager, which looks stalled now.
- vetinari 8y agoEven Vulkan compositor wants to compose OpenGL (or other non-Vulkan) clients, so it needs a generic way to work with a cross-API handles to buffers allocated in Video RAM. That's what GBM/EGLstreams/that stalled Nvidia memory manager solve.
