Great news!
Thanks a lot to make it happen.

I hope I am wrong.
>From my understanding most x86 GPUs still
cannot work with drm_hwcomposer since
they lack of atomic mode-setting API support
required by drm_hwcomposer.
Hope this could be addressed soon since
drm_hwcomposer becomes a standard project of fd.o.

How about the gralloc?
There are also several implementations
scattered somewhere.
I think it's also important to standardize it to fd.o
and make it work with fd.o's drm_hwcomposer.
