<h2>Wayland</h2>

<p>Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as
well as a C library implementation of that protocol.  The compositor
can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting
and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself.
The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or
fullscreen) or other display servers.</p>

<p>The wayland repository includes a compositor which can run as an X
client or under Linux KMS and a few clients, but both the compositor
and clients are essentially test cases.</p>
