I don't know if this is helpful, but I hope so. I would like to contribute in some way. Thanks

1.12 does not include the EGLDevice patches. Either you are actually using a patched 1.12 from somewhere (in which case, please file a bug with NVIDIA), or your Weston does not have the patches required. Thanks!
