Adam Jackson has worked on letting XWaylands load the binary NVidia x.org driver and we are now waiting on NVidia to review that work and hopefully be able to update their driver to support it.

Unfortunately there has been no support for the binary driver in XWayland and thus and X applications (which there are a lot of) would not be getting any HW accelerated 3D graphics support. So you can run a native Wayland session on top of the binary driver and you had that ability for a very long time. From Christian Schaller’s blog post (linked from the Fedora News article:įinally there is the NVidia binary driver support question.

It’s in regards to Wayland’s support of fallback X11 support, which is intimately related to the binary drivers and how they’re installed. Not quite that’s more with regard to Wayland.
