| Kernel: DRM & drivers | Update drm + drivers to linux 4.x. | WIP | DRM-next porting wiki. This includes: updates to linuxkpi, Skylake support (i915kms), radeonkms updates, amdgpu (hd 8000+ support). PRIME & DRI3. | |
| X.Org: update xf86-video-intel to pre 3.0 releases | DONE | |||
| X.Org: support Glamor | DONE | Required for 2D hw acceleration on recent Radeon GPUs or when using modesetting DDX | ||
| X.Org: support usb_id attribute in config:devd | Not started | Requires libusb and pretty complex string parser | ||
| | udev is used by critical components | In Progress | libudev-devd is a partial implementation of libudev which uses devd | |
| Mesa: handle udev dependency | Mesa no longer needs udev as of v13 | Canceled | libdrm is responsible for the hardware, work must happen there | |
| Ports: libevdev and libinput | evdev is used for all input in Linux, libinput uses evdev | WIP | evdev support in kernel | evdev support is available in kernel, not all input device are connected to evdev yet |
| Ports: Make port for Wayland | Xorg replacement | WIP | Experimental port committed, not thoroughly tested | Overview about Wayland status. |
| Ports: Make port for Weston | reference compositor for Wayland | WIP | Dependency to udev and libinput | Weston is a composer reference implementation of wayland. |
| Ports: DRI3 support | WIP | Needs PRIME support in kernel | DRI3 is currently enabled in ports, but requires kernel from DRM-next | |
