Issue XWAYLAND 21.1.1.901 with hardware acceleration support on systems with GPU NVIDIA

available Issue XWAYLAND 21.1.1.901 , DDX component (Device-Dependent X), which ensures that X.org Server is launched to organize the execution of X11 applications in Wayland’s database. The issue of issued changes to use OpenGL and VULKAN hardware acceleration for X11 applications on systems with NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers. Usually, this kind of change is placed in new significant issues, but in this case it was decided to make an exception and add an innovation to an existing stable branch 21.1, since the changes do not affect the GBM backend, and mostly relate to the eGLStream backend and are associated with a significant improvement in EGLStream users.

NVIDIA Changes for hardware acceleration in XWayLand are taken into the NVIDIA 470.x driver. Judging by spent tests, when using the NVIDIA 470 driver branch, OpenGL and Vulkan performance in X-applications, Launched using XWayland, almost no different from starting running a regular X server.
