+ - sync-to-vblank
+
+ - switch scanout when top surface is full screen
+
+ - what about cursors then? maybe use hw cursors if the cursor
+ satisfies hw limitations (64x64, only one cursor), switch to
+ composited cursors if not.
+
+ - multihead, screen geometry and crtc layout protocol, hotplug
+
+ - input device discovery, hotplug
+
+ - Advertise axes as part of the discovery, use something like
+ "org.wayland.input.x" to identify the axes.
+
+ - wayland-system-compositor
+
+ - device kit/libudev/console kit integration to discover seats,
+ that is, groups of input devices and outputs that provide a
+ means for one user to interact with the system. That is,
+ typically a mouse, keyboard and a screen. The input devices
+ will just be evdev devices, the outputs will be a drm device
+ filename and the specific outputs accessible throught that drm
+ device.
+
+ - send drm device in connection info, probably just udev path.
+
+ - cairo-drm; wayland needs cairo-drm one way or another:
+
+ - chris wilson (ickle) is doing cairo-drm for i915 now, basically
+ the pixman-drm idean, but inside cairo instead.
+
+ - pixman-drm; move the ddx driver batchbuffer logic into libdrm
+ and write native, direct rendering acceleration code in
+ pixman-drm. is a clean approach in that we avoid the mess of
+ the global GL context leaking through to applications, and we
+ can bootstrap this project by pulling in the EXA hooks from the
+ DDX drivers.
+
+ - use open gl behind the scenes a la glitz.
+
+ - should be possible to provide a realistic api and then stub out
+ the implementation with pwrite and pread so gtk+ port can proceed.
+
+ - XKB like client side library for translating keyboard events to
+ more useful keycodes and modifiers etc. Will probably be shared
+ between toolkits as a low-level library.
+
+ - port gtk+
+
+ - eek, so much X legacy stuff there...
+
+ - draw window decorations in gtkwindow.c
+
+ - start from alexl's client-side-windows branch
+
+ - Details about pointer grabs. wayland doesn't have active grabs,
+ menus will behave subtly different. Under X, clicking a menu
+ open grabs the pointer and clicking outside the window pops down
+ the menu and swallows the click. without active grabs we can't
+ swallow the click. I'm sure there much more...
+
+ - Port Qt? There's already talk about this on the list.
+
+ - X on Wayland
+
+ - move most of the code from xf86-video-intel into a Xorg wayland
+ module.
+
+ - don't ask KMS for available output and modes, use the info from
+ the wayland server. then stop mooching off of drmmode.c.
+
+ - map multiple wayland input devices to MPX in Xorg.
+
+ - rootless; avoid allocating and setting the front buffer, draw
+ window decorations in the X server (!), how to map input?
+
+ - gnome-shell as a wayland session compositor
+
+ - runs as a client of the wayland session compositor, uses
+ clutter+egl on wayland
+
+ - talks to an Xorg server as the compositing and window manager
+ for that server and renders the output to a wayland surface.
+ the Xorg server should be modified to take input from the system
+ compositor through gnome-shell, but not allocate a front buffer.
+
+ - make gnome-shell itself a nested wayland server and allow native
+ wayland clients to connect and can native wayland windows with
+ the windows from the X server.
+
+ - qemu as a wayland client; session surface as X case
+
+ - qemu has too simple acceleration, so a Wayland backend like the
+ SDL/VNC ones it has now is trivial.
+
+ - paravirt: forward wayland screen info as mmio, expose gem ioctls as mmio
+
+ - mapping vmem is tricky, should try to only use ioctl (pwrite+pread)
+
+ - not useful for Windows without a windows paravirt driver.
+
+ - two approaches: 1) do a toplevel qemu window, or 2) expose a
+ wayland server in the guest that forwards to the host wayland
+ server, ie a "remote" compositor, but with the gem buffers
+ shared. could do a wl_connection directly on mmio memory, with
+ head and tail pointers. use an alloc_head register to indicate
+ desired data to write, if it overwrites tail, block guest. just
+ a socket would be easier.
+
+ - make libwayland-client less ghetto
+
+ - sparse based idl compiler
+
+ - actually make batch/commit batch up commands
+
+ - protocol for setting the cursor image
+
+ - should we have a mechanism to attach surface to cursor for
+ guaranteed non-laggy drag?
+
+ - auth; We need to generate a random socket name and advertise that
+ on dbus along with a connection cookie. Something like a method
+ that returns the socket name and a connection cookie. The
+ connection cookie is just another random string that the client
+ must pass to the wayland server to become authenticated. The
+ Wayland server generates the cookie on demand when the dbus method
+ is called and expires it after 5s or so.
+
+ - enter/leave events from the input devices
+
+ - gain, lose keyboard focus events; this event carries information
+ about which keys are currently held down as a surface gains focus
+ so the client can deduce modifier state.
+
+ - Range protocol may not be sufficient... if a server cycles through
+ 2^32 object IDs we don't have a way to handle wrapping. And since
+ we hand out a range of 256 IDs to each new clients, we're just
+ talking about 2^24 clients. That's 31 years with a new client
+ every minute... Maybe just use bigger ranges, then it's feasible
+ to track and garbage collect them when a client dies.
