You are running Weston as an X11 client, i.e. the Wayland session will be inside your X11 session. Is that what you want?

The error is coming from Mesa, where it fails to initialise OpenGL support. That means that your GL driver and X11 session do not support hardware-accelerated rendering. To get around that, you can run 'weston --use-pixman'.

Closing now, please reopen if you need further help.
