mtdev as currently used in weston is a noop. mtdev's purpose is to convert Protocol A devices (without ABS_MT_SLOT) to Protocol B devices (slots). For Protocol B devices mtdev merely routes the events, so checking for slots and then using mtdev based on that adds no functionality. Check for ABS_MT_POSITION_X/Y instead and use that to categorise a device as MT device. mtdev will provide us with a slotted protocol for all devices. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54428
Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding weston and its dependencies.
