Xorg on Mir
Xorg on Mir
This blueprint is intended to capture the effort to run Mir as a system compositor under Xorg.
This will provide the benefit of "flicker free" boot vs the current standalone x startup.
This is also a key step towards convergence.
Acceptance
13.06 - Olli has to be able to to type "apt-get install mir" and in everything just takes care of self (or as much as possible), and no broken Olli...have to have a way for him to verify he's running mir
