** Changed in: mir
       Status: Triaged => In Progress

** Changed in: mir
     Assignee: Mir development team (mir-team) => Alan Griffiths (alan-griffiths)

** Summary changed:

- [regression] Nested servers on mesa-kms select wrong (dummy) guest platform
+ [regression] Nested servers can select wrong platform

** Description changed:

+ Nested servers do not have the information required to deduce which
+ platform has been selected by the host server. (The host may be a
+ different user with different permissions, with different environment
+ variables and different command-line options.)
+ 
+ Original scenario:
+ 
  $ sudo bin/mir_demo_server --window-manager system-compositor --display-config sidebyside --vt 1 --arw-file
- $ bin/mir_demo_server --host /tmp/mir_socket --display-config clone 
+ $ bin/mir_demo_server --host /tmp/mir_socket --display-config clone
  ...
  [1447325929.742637] mirserver: Selected driver: dummy (version 0.18.0)
  
  Seems to be -c 3098 as specifying a dummy --vt parameter is a workaround
