yeah, experimental works for me as well ;-)

Can you confirm that building it manually from there, doesn't break the
glx-diversion ? I heavily need the glx-diversion as i need a working
fallback for wayland compositing tests ;-)

For me wayland support already started with 367 and that is currently
the most stable one in regards to wayland.
375 has the problem that client surfaces cannot be resized from the
client-side (both with qtwayland and the patched nvidia weston)

Do you know any bugtracker i can add those kind of bugs ? I already
tried to ask on the developer forum, but it's full of X11 problems, it seems
nobody there is interested in wayland support
