What's not working? XWayland should just use the built-in GLAMOR driver.

Xwayland support, especially that in weston, is quite buggy now (at least in 1.5.0). You can play with like a toy it but don't take it too seriously. 1.6.0 should be much better.

That is all i have been doing is toying with it but i think it's not working do to Mesa and the ATI drivers they're not stable even on other Linux's and yes i seen some bug fixes in 1.6 that may help
