MeeGo Being Ported To Wayland

Posted by Unknown on from the netcraft-confirms-x11-is-dying dept.

An anonymous reader writes "From the MeeGo SF2011 conference this week it was disclosed that MeeGo may ship the Wayland Server with the tablet version of the MeeGo 1.3 operating system for release in October." A reasonably annotated version of the presentation slides. Unfortunately video of the talk is not yet available.

    No it isn't. Wayland is a rallying point for X-haters and is an attempt to specifically dump X.

    Fixed that for you. Everyone working on Wayland is an X.org dev. They know what they're trying to kill off.

    Oh, and Wayland will also have an X server.
