Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for building weston and its dependencies. The test suite can be invoked via `make check`; see http://wayland.freedesktop.org/testing.html for additional details.

The compositor's output_created signal used to be sent in weston_output_init() which the backend call before putting the output in the output_list. This caused problems when creating a new view in a listener to that signal, because weston_view_assign_output() doesn't yet know the new output exists. To fix this add a new weston_composito_add_output() func which adds the output in the list and later sends the signal, and make the backends call that.
