I always get downvoted for saying this but anyway. Wayland needs the Nvidia problem to be solved. I don't see how it's sustainable to have to build everything for GBM and EGLStreams.

Yep. People can complain about Nvidia’s refusal to comply to standards as much as they want, but at the end of the day, there is never going to be widespread adoption of Wayland until Nvidia hardware is fully supported.

Probably because it is solved? > EGLStreams (NVIDIA): GNOME, KDE, Weston https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wayland#Requirements https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wayland#Requirements

    That's life. I've checked OpenBSD once, no audio support. I've bought Intel Poulsbo based netbook [1], no video acceleration beyond XOrg 1.9 and kernel 2.6. I've patched source for 3.* compatibility [2] and finally bought new hardware. I would dance if GNOME or KDE had Poulsbo support. Soon (if not already [3]) NVIDIA would be second class citizen on Linux.
