Hi Stefan, I worked on the Xwayland multi-buffer project in last year's GSoC. Well, there is still some stuff to do and I hope to finish it till the release of the next Xserver. You can check out my last patch-set at: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2017-August/054422.html
* I can't say much to portable hardware. * You find the X.Org codebase here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg and the XServer in particular here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/ If you're interested in Xwayland, this code is here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/hw/xwayland. The best would be to clone atleast the xserver repo and take a look at it on your local file system. If you want to read some introduction to the XServer code base, you can read the articles I wrote while I was working on my GSoC project here: http://www.subdiff.de/archive/tags#xwayland This is primarily about Xwayland, but also at least outlines crucial parts of the overall design of the Xserver. * I'm also can't say much regarding your last item. In general though best is to ask on IRC #wayland or #xorg-devel. There are often devs around who will help you. In particular regarding the pressure-only bluetooth project you can also send Peter Hutterer an email or query him on IRC, who is the maintainer of libinput.
