@cstross @lonjil @hko The problem is X was architected around a single standard: VGA graphics provided by the system BIOS. But in this day and age monitors are driven by many different combinations of microprocessor extensions, graphics cards, and operating system facilities, and they are not to a single standard. It is unfortunately necessary to break everything to fix it again, and Wayland is an architecture which can work across the spectrum of modern display devices...
