| Kristian Høgsberg | 72e023c | 2012-07-20 12:26:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3 | Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a |
| 4 | useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that |
| 5 | lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as |
| 6 | under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple |
| 7 | clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more |
| 8 | complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite |
| 9 | capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop |
| 10 | shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server |
| 11 | and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window |
| 12 | manager. |
