+ The Wayland architecture integrates the display server, window + manager and compositor into one process. You can think of Wayland + as a toolkit for creating clients and compositors. It is not a + specific single compositor or window manager. If you want a + different window manager, you can write a new one. +
+ ++ This may sound like a lot of work, but one of the key points about + Wayland is that the boilerplate code to a Wayland compositor is + comparable or less than the X boilerplate involved in becoming an X + window manager and compositor. Bringing up EGL and GLES2 on the + Linux KMS framebuffer and reading input from evdev can be done in + less that a thousand lines of code. The Wayland server side library + provides the protocol implementation and makes it easy to put the + pieces together. +
