Compositing in Wingo #133

Open SolarAquarion opened 7 years ago

SolarAquarion commented 7 years ago

Shouldn't it be possible to use the Go GL bindings?

BurntSushi commented 7 years ago

I don't understand the question. What problem are you trying to solve?

The scope of your question is roughly analogous to, "Shouldn't it be possible to us IPv6 to avoid running out of IP addresses?"

SolarAquarion commented 7 years ago

You need opengl to do compositing, and compositing is required to do Wayland, no?

Wingo doesn't support Wayland.

SolarAquarion commented 7 years ago

There is a need for compositing to support Wayland no? If Wayland needs compositing, and compositing needs opengl rendering. So shouldn't Wingo do initial gl usage for compositing? https://github.com/go-gl/gl

Wingo is an X11 window manager, not a Wayland compositor.

Maybe you should backup and ask, "Are there any plans for Wingo to support Wayland?" I could then have answered simply, "No."
