Hi, IMHO you can ignore Wayland for now I suppose, I just wanted to point out that we have similar problems there and whatever you do with the DRM format codes will affect things on Wayland too. Once you get things hashed out on an X.org based stack, we can look what it means for Wayland software. After all, BE users are scarce and allegedly favouring old software to avoid breakage; Wayland is new, and Wayland compositors still "rare", so the intersection of people using both BE and Wayland and relying on it to work is... minuscule? insignificant? I don't mean to belittle people that use Wayland on BE, but by that one bug report EGL is and probably has been broken, and it's unclear if anything has ever worked.
