=== We support Wayland ===
~~Title: Wayland~~

{{page>index}}
==== Wayland ====
Current support work is being done to enable client-side applications and a wayland compositor. Currently EFL applications that use the lower-level Ecore-Evas and higher level Elementary API's will work and display correctly in a Wayland compositor, handle input, resizing and moving. Client-side frames are already provided. Both Shared-memory buffers AND EGL/OpenGL-ES2 buffers are supported. The Shared-memory buffers are purely CPU-rendered, meaning that they will work with or without OpenGL hardware acceleration support. They are fast and usable. The OpenGL-ES2 display is fully accelerated with all primitives being rendered by OpenGL (Hardware acceleration) and already work fully due to a long history of supporting this under X11 and other embedded EGL/OpenGL-ES2 environments.

For applications that use Ecore_Evas directly set the environment variable **ECORE_EVAS_ENGINE** to either //wayland_egl// or //wayland_shm// depending on whether you wish to use the SHM based interface with software rendering or use EGL.
