I am able to start weston with -Bfbdev-backend.so but the weston-simple-egl sample application fails with:

"weston-simple-egl: simple-egl.c:151: init_egl: Assertion `ret == 1' failed. Aborted"

Hi,

Was there any progress on investigating this ticket?
Our team is integrating an OSS GENIVI demonstrator which we plan to release and advertise at the GENIVI All Members Meeting, 1st week of October.
We wished to support qemu at this occasion.

Thanks for your update.

Not yet, and it's been known for some time that Weston doesn't work in qemu currently (there's an open bug from back when it was first integrated).

I suggest you approach the wayland developers or at least investigate what ret==1 means.

Comment 3 Ross Burton 2014-11-13 16:28:43 UTC

There's an existing bug for "weston doesn't work on qemu", marking as duplicate.

Comment 4 Holger Behrens 2014-11-14 08:23:35 UTC

Ross,

then there is a bug in the documentation

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#wayland-support

according to which Weston does work under QEMU "under X emulation without issues".
