Edit: Seems to support Wayland too (or at least will):

I also wonder what kind of driver support the other Snapdragon chips subsystems (video acceleration, wlan/bluetooth etc.) have? Do they need to be run through libhybris aswell or is there real Linux drivers for them either?

I think there was some kind of specific additions for libhybris to support android GPS system/drivers.

[edit] Just asked this on IRC, and according to Stskeeps (Carsten Munk) all the Snapdragon drivers will be through libhybris.
Not really suprising considering the driver support from Qualcomm.

Yep thats most logical, that they use Android drivers and libhybris for the most part. Going some "not yet ready opensource driver that may "soon" support wayland" is not a good idea for Jolla.

Especially not when they already work 16hours/day to get the device out ASAP.
