Jolla Ports Wayland To Android GPU Drivers

[wraggster]

A Jolla Sailfish OS (http://jolla.com/) engineer has ported Wayland to run on Android GPU drivers (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM0OTE). The implementation uses libhybis with the Android driver so that the rest of the operating system can be a conventional glibc-based Linux operating system, such as Mer / Sailfish OS. The code is to be LGPL licensed. The reported reasoning for making Wayland support Android GPU drivers was difficulty in ODM vendors not wishing to offer driver support for platforms aside from Android.
