Wayland - New Graphics System in Linux & UNIX

Wayland - New Graphics System in Linux & UNIX  Replaced X Window System
May be you all felt board while using the same X Window System. But now you need not to worry about because now you have Wayland graphics system for Linux. Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a C library implementation of that protocol. The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers. Part of the Wayland project is also the Weston reference implementation of a Wayland compositor. Weston can run as an X client or under Linux KMS and ships with a few demo clients. The Weston compositor is a minmal and fast compositor and is suitable for many embedded and mobile use cases. It could therefore eventually replace the X Window System which currently provides the graphics on Linux and Unix systems.
