I haven't tested them lately, but I believe the answers should be yes. > Will the Qt compositor host the xwayland server? I haven't heard. I'm still not entirely sure what the relationship between xwayland and different compositors is expected to be. It may be better to ask the Qt folks. #qt-labs on irc.freenode.net in particular. I'm not sure which mailing list is most appropriate. > Am I asking the right questions?

And last time I tested, the Qt5 apps worked with the weston compositor, but the Qt5 demo wayland compositors crashed, but were expected to work with wayland apps. I suspect xwayland stuff hasn't been handled with the Qt compositors. There's some info here: http://wayland.freedesktop.org/qt5.html The build instructions are old, you'll at least need a couple more modules to build it. The porting section may be useful to you. If you find better info, please report back. -- "I'd rather be happy than right any day." - Slartiblartfast, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy http://www.ChaosReigns.com _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
