AMD Catalyst 9.5 Driver For Linux Released
,----[ Quote ]
| If you closely follow the Phoronix Forums you already know that the Catalyst
| 9.5 Linux driver is available for download. In fact, it has been available
| since this past Friday on their web server, but it was not officially
| announced and linked to from their driver web-site until now. The Catalyst
| 9.5 driver release notes do not mention much, in fact they are basically a
| facsimile of the Catalyst 9.4 driver release notes.

The State Of The Wayland Display Server
,----[ Quote ]
| As Wayland clients are responsible for direct rendering to the screen, some
| work is required to get this graphics library working under Wayland, but it
| will be a big step forward considering that GNOME/GTK+ rely upon Cairo.
| Intel's Eric Anholt has also been working on an OpenGL-based back-end for
| Cairo, which would allow Cairo to run under Wayland no matter the graphics
| hardware in use. This is in contrast to the approach Kristian Høgsberg and
| Chris Wilson have been doing of hardware-specific support in a Cairo DRM
| branch. Coming soon, work will be underway in getting GTK+ to work with the
| cairo-drm back-end.

Wayland's Eagle EGL Stack Gets Working DRI2
,----[ Quote ]
| It has been a while since last talking about Wayland, which is a new display
| server for Linux designed around newer X technologies like kernel
| mode-setting and the Graphics Execution Manager. Wayland is being developed
| as a side-project by Red Hat's Kristian Høgsberg. There hasn't been anything
| too exciting to report on lately within the Wayland project, but now its
| Eagle component has a working DRI2 back-end.
