About building the greatly improved standalone Xwayland 21.1 RC1 and, believe or not, adding support for NVidia's EGLstreams on Wayland
by LuckyCyborg from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ERWM)
Out of curiosity, I tried to build the standalone XWayland server on version 21.1 RC1, even I know that on no more than several weeks should be published the final release.
I talk about this thing:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archiv...ry/060615.html
Well, looks like they decided to go forward with Xwayland, while the whole Xorg server being in "conservation" ...
Long story short, the difference between the stock Xwayland from X.org 1.20.10 and the RC1 of the standalone XWayland is astonishing.
To imagine the difference, for X11 applications (for example the GTK based ones like Firefox) is like switching from usage of VESA to the proper and 3D accelerated X11 server. And that makes me to suspect that the stock Xwayland has no hardware acceleration at all.
Additionally, I discovered that Xorg 1.20 and the standalone XWayland needs a particular library for EGLstreams support: egl-wayland (which is totally other thing from wayland-egl)
So, believe or not, looks like the Slackware -current's Wayland stack right has no support for EGLstreams at all. Then you should wonder that the proprietary NVidia drivers acts cranky on Wayland?
What I did?
First of all, I tried to build this:
https://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive....99.901.tar.xz
How it uses Meson as build system, inspired from Fedora, I made this xorg-server-xwayland.SlackBuild

So, this generates a xorg-server-xwayland-21.0.99.901-x86_64-1.txz which not only replaces the stock package and works perfectly stable, but also as I have already described, showing spectacular huge improvements.
However, trying to use also "-Dxwayland_eglstream=true" just like Fedora, I discovered that it looks for "wayland-eglstream-protocols.pc" so it fails.
Searching about what software offers this "wayland-eglstream-protocols.pc" I arrived there:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/egl-wayland
Yup, apparently the egl-wayland stands for "Wayland EGL External Platform library" made by NVidia. Looking around, I undestand that's something like GLVND for the Wayland's EGL.
However, looks like to build it, you need another package: eglexternalplatform which contains some headers, also made by NVidia:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/eglexternalplatform
And there we go, starting with glexternalplatform.SlackBuild

egl-wayland:Here I should make a note: while I solved the XWayland's dependencies for NVidia's EGLstreams for Wayland, I cannot test myself this part, as for moment I have no NVidia GPU's on my boxes.
So, would be nice if someone who uses NVidia hardware would test this too, to see if this makes a difference - should do, because that's the others do, while they claim that Wayland works OK on NVidia GPU's.
And a second note would be that probably another Wayland related packages needs a rebuilt to pick up this NVidia EGLstreams support.
I talk about this thing:

So, this generates a xorg-server-xwayland-21.0.99.901-x86_64-1.txz which not only replaces the stock package and works perfectly stable, but also as I have already described, showing spectacular huge improvements.
However, trying to use also "-Dxwayland_eglstream=true" just like Fedora, I discovered that it looks for "wayland-eglstream-protocols.pc" so it fails.
Searching about what software offers this "wayland-eglstream-protocols.pc" I arrived there:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/egl-wayland
Yup, apparently the egl-wayland stands for "Wayland EGL External Platform library" made by NVidia. Looking around, I undestand that's something like GLVND for the Wayland's EGL.
However, looks like to build it, you need another package: eglexternalplatform which contains some headers, also made by NVidia:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/eglexternalplatform
And there we go, starting with glexternalplatform.SlackBuild

egl-wayland:Here I should make a note: while I solved the XWayland's dependencies for NVidia's EGLstreams for Wayland, I cannot test myself this part, as for moment I have no NVidia GPU's on my boxes.
So, would be nice if someone who uses NVidia hardware would test this too, to see if this makes a difference - should do, because that's the others do, while they claim that Wayland works OK on NVidia GPU's.
And a second note would be that probably another Wayland related packages needs a rebuilt to pick up this NVidia EGLstreams support.
