X.Org Server 1.15 Brings DRI3, Lacks XWayland Support

Posted by timothy on from the not-belated-for-eastern-orthodox dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A belated holiday gift for Linux users is the X.Org Server 1.15 'Egg Nog' release. X.Org Server 1.15 presents new features including DRI3 — a big update to their rendering model — a rewrite of the GLX windowing system code, support for Mesa Mega Drivers, and many bug fixes plus polishing. The release, though, goes without any mainline support for XWayland to ease the adoption of the Wayland Display Server while maintaining legacy X11 application support."

    we're repairing the damage your favourite idiots created by building the world you love with such a ridiculous, outdated mentality, no wonder the desktop never arrived on linux with people like you around...
