If you specify e.g. scale=2 in weston.ini an output section for the X11 backend we automatically upscale all normal surfaces by this amount. Additionally we respect a buffer_scale set on the buffer to mean that the buffer is already in a scaled form. This works with both the gl and the pixman renderer. The non-X backends compile and work, but don't support changing the output scale (they do downscale as needed due to buffer_scale though). This also sends the new "scale" and "done" events on wl_output, making clients aware of the scale.
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.
