Taking a guess, I think this is the same problem I hit. wayland isn't
checking and exiting after it fails to successfully initialize EGL /
some other resource, and continuing on blindly - hence the segfault.

In my case, it was because mesa was compiled without --disable-gallium

That was REQUIRED for me to get it working.. just deleting the gallium
EGL modules to leave the DRI2 ones was not enough. (There might have
been GLES drives which picked up gallium of course, as I didn't delete
anything there).


I can get the compositor running, but all my clients quit as I've got a
problem with xkb maps not being found / compiled properly with
my /usr/local installed libxkbcommon.
