GLX is X only while EGL is need for Wayland and also works with X.org.

I know there are limitations on Xorg and I still need to investigate it.

GLX replacement for Xorg is not mandatory - this can be further discussed. 

This is a work in progress and it's on the first step (making it work).

See:
