That was part of my point I have stacks of xlib and glx books/docs xcb's documentation is severely lacking. I want to write my desktop not fool around with xlib here and xcb there I am getting old and would like to see Desktop Linux as a major player in my life time. I just want something concrete xlib and glx for now gives me that. When wayland is stable enough and has hardware acceleration for nvidia's binary blobs then Ill move on to that. I dont want to put all my eggs in one basket on something that might happen.
Nvidia needs to just come out and say yes if wayland proves fruitfull we will support it.
- evmar 14y agoI know this opinion may be unpopular, but: people have been successfully writing xlib apps for literally decades. There's no reason to use xcb for that type of app, especially if you're just trying to get a GL window on the screen and you don't expect to be doing lots of tricky X calls.
