When you use HW composer to compose together GPU buffers/layers (which is a production API one in Android drivers), you also need to use gralloc, which then means you also need to use Android libGLES.
So, does it mean that Intel's driver on the desktop isn't good either? So how does it work now? Or X.org dependencies have different performance situation than Intel's driver that can be used for Wayland?

At least if that's going to improve in the future, things can get better with newer kernels / Mesa.

Are those drivers from Intel closed?
