-Weston: reference implementation of a Wayland compositor.
-==========================================================
-
-This README is current as of Weston 9.0.0.
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, as well
-as a useful environment in and of itself.
-
-Out of the box, Weston provides a very basic desktop, or a full-featured
-environment for non-desktop uses such as automotive, embedded,
-in-flight, industrial, kiosks, set-top boxes and TVs. It also provides a
-library allowing other projects to build their own full-featured
-environments on top of Weston's core.
-
-A small suite of example or demo clients are also provided: though they
-can be useful in themselves, their main purpose is to be an example or
-test case for others building compositors or clients.
-
-
-Slackware-specific Information
-------------------------------
-
-*****************************************
-IMPORTANT: MANUAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED.
-*****************************************
-
-This SlackBuild of Weston takes a fairly "hands off" approach, and there
-are a few things users need to be aware of.
-
-To launch Weston, here are some required steps.
-
-Please note that setting weston-launch suid root is NOT required any longer
-under PAM-ified Slackware Current.
-
-1. If you do not have another script exporting XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, you
-should enable the one that comes with this SlackBuild:
-
- # chmod +x /etc/profile.d/weston.sh
- (or .csh, depending on your shell)
-
-2. Logout (if necessary) and re-login as root.
-
-Once you've logged out and back in as root, run:
-
- `exec weston-launch -u $USER`
-
-where $USER is the username of the normal user you would like to launch Weston
-as.
-
-To launch with Xwayland support, run:
-
- `exec weston-launch -u $USER -- --xwayland`
-
-You can use the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace keyboard combination to kill Weston.
-
-
-Optional Dependencies
----------------------
-
-At the present time, the only optional dependency for this SlackBuild is
-colord, which is disabled by default. That is because colord pulls in many
-dependencies, while building Weston without colord requires no dependencies at
-all on Slackware current, which may be more desirable for users that just want
-to quickly test out Wayland by getting Weston up and running.
-
-If you would like to enable colord functionality in this SlackBuild,
-set the USE_COLORD variable to "true" before running the SlackBuild.
-
-
-Known Issues
-------------
-
-* I have not had success getting Weston to launch with the proprietary nvidia
-drivers in use. YMMV. I have had the best luck with the Intel KMS drivers.
-
-* In testing 8.0.0 on the newly PAM-ified Slackware current, I have found that
-after running Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to quit, I am brought back to a blank,
-black screen. If this happens, try waiting a few seconds and then hit
-Ctrl+Alt+F2 (for instance) followed by Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back to the console.
-
-* I want to stress and emphasize that this is still relatively experimental
-software, that talks to your hardware at a fairly low level. For the most
-part, I have not had any major issues, but I have seen some odd bugs and
-behaviour, including Weston hard-locking my system upon exit and having to
-reboot. I have also returned to my shell to find that some keystrokes I had
-inputted while using Weston had been inputted into my console with a series of
-"Command not found" errors. I do not believe Weston has been widely tested on
-non-systemd/logind systems such as Slackware. Use at your own risk.
