The backend uses the +Linux KMS API to detect connected monitors. Monitor hot-plugging is +supported. Input devices are found automatically by +.BR udev (7). +Compositing happens mainly in GL\ ES\ 2, initialized through EGL. It +is also possible to take advantage of hardware cursors and overlays, +when they exist and are functional. Full-screen surfaces will be +scanned out directly without compositing, when possible. +Hardware accelerated clients are supported via EGL. + +The backend chooses the DRM graphics device first based on seat id. +If seat identifiers are not set, it looks for the graphics device +that was used in boot. If that is not found, it finally chooses +the first DRM device returned by +.BR udev (7). +Combining multiple graphics devices are not supported yet. + +The DRM backend relies on +.B weston-launch +for managing input device access and DRM master status, so that +.B weston +can be run without root privileges. On switching away from the +virtual terminal (VT) hosting Weston, all input devices are closed and +the DRM master capability is dropped, so that other servers, +including +.BR Xorg (1), +can run on other VTs.
