About this tag
The wayland weston tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of Wayland display-server development and the Weston reference compositor, including work that reaches beyond Windows itself. Recent tagged coverage follows a Linux graphics RFC that would let applications and compositors request a narrower variable refresh rate range or a fixed refresh target, aimed at reducing visible brightness flicker. The proposal also covers Quick Media Switching signaling for media playback, with early implementation touching HDMI helpers, Rockchip RK3588 hardware, and the Weston compositor. Because this is review-stage development work rather than a finished feature, the tag is best read as a record of ongoing Wayland and Weston engineering discussion.
