x11-toolkits/wlroots: slightly expand NVIDIA note
Nothing to do in this port until NVIDIA fixes FreeBSD driver:
- both GBM (495+) and EGLStreams require nvidia-drm.ko
- wlroots-eglstreams is supported as NVIDIA option (since f406592a8e37)
https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/udyrh7/nvidia_and_wayland_on_freebsd/
Wayland "de facto" requires DRM for mode setting (KMS) and buffer
sharing (GBM, EGLStreams). Without those one can sacrifice convenience
and performance by starting under Xorg with software rendering e.g.,
$ startx
$ glxinfo | fgrep 'OpenGL renderer'
OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640/PCIe/SSE2
$ cage glxinfo | fgrep 'OpenGL renderer'
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 13.0.1, 256 bits)
$ sway -d
[...]
