System compositor progress
 

Hi,

We're now at the point where the system compositor [1] is starting to
work. Any brave souls who want to start playing with this can have a
look at the instructions in the blueprint. Obviously THIS IS HIGHLY
EXPERIMENTAL, so play at your own risk! In saying that, early feedback
is most welcome and anyone who wants to hack on this contact Chris
(RAOF) and I and we can point you at code to play with.

The PPA linked there will not work quite yet; it's missing a build of
mesa (and then of weston & xserver). This should be soon; just as soon
as mesa actually builds :)

I'll send a follow up mail for our intrepid system-compositites when
it's all bedded down.

This is now ready to roll, for intel, nouveau, and radeon. Intel is most
tested, and should essentially work; nouveau and radeon are less tested.

amd64 packages of weston are still publishing: you need at least
0.89.0~system-compositor4-0~raof3.

Other than that, go to town!

I tried installing the system compositor, but lightdm doesn't start if I
have "type=weston" set under [SetDefaults]. Should I now open a bug in
lightdm or in weston?

Open bugs against LightDM with your logs from /var/log/lightdm and we
will reassign if required.

Full disk encryption should not affect it, but it has not been
explicitly tested.
