The Xorg codebase still includes some of those old drivers and is structured to allow them to exist.
replyJust to be clear the hardware abstraction layer used by wayland and any current Xserver is exactly the same.
replyYes exactly. DRM exists, but there's still what I called the X "kernel", all of it's heavyweight abstractions.
replyTo the previous a-hole, frak you: not an AI. That's rude as frak. Also, you manage to be incredibly wrong. Even an AI wouldn't overlook such an obvious error; maybe it'd be better to have it replace you. So rude dude! Behave!
I am sorry if I mistaken you for a bot but the model you are describing have not been implenented by any graphic driver in decades.
replyX's drivers still wrap the kernels drivers in its own abstraction layer.
replyIt's vastly deeper than what Wayland does.
That's what the anti-Wayland people want: for things to work exactly as they did in the 90s. It's not an accident.
