Wayland is independent from xorg. However, it relies on the GPU driver normally found in the Linux kernel as well as the user-level bindings found in libdrm. Fortunately, we have already ported (most of) these parts for Intel GPUs to Genode. See:
I have exactly one concern about Wayland.
There is a specific developer who has been busily breaking the keyboard and mouse drivers on Xorg. The keyboard and mouse drivers used to be the most reliable drivers on my computer, after this specific intel employee started getting involved and making the keyboard and mouse "hot pluggable", Xorg normally loads with NO KEYBOARD OR MOUSE SUPPORT AT ALL!!! I either have to cold-boot the computer or I have to ssh into it from somewhere else to kick it back to console mode. I forgot his name, it is rather complex with accent characters. The solution is to add more lines to xorg.conf to force the driver to behave as it used to. My xorg.conf now reads like a mantric chant of commands to disable hot-plugging.
This person is a man that I want lifetime banned from the open source movement for reason of the quantity of my time he has wasted and the amount of stress and aggrivation he has dealt me. =( This grade-A asshole is also a prominent developer in the Wayland project therefore I have very little hope that Wayland will ever be either reliable or usable. =(
