**Fallback.** Before bringing anything up the client probes the configured endpoint (one non-blocking connect, `MOBILEGL_IPC_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS`, default 250, 0 = off; a refused abstract socket answers in ~0.2 ms). With no server: the EGL vendor returns `EGL_NO_DISPLAY` and no devices (glvnd moves on to the other vendor), the GLX vendor fails `__glx_Main` (libGLX falls back to the vendor Xwayland names), and `mobilegl_gbm` fails `create_device` (libgbm falls back to the device's own backend). Client queries (`eglQueryString(EGL_NO_DISPLAY)`, `eglGetProcAddress`) never bring a session up. MobileGL also steps aside for a GBM device another backend created and for `LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1` - that is how a software Xwayland (`ANLAND_XWAYLAND_GLAMOR=0`, KWin's patch sets it then) keeps the software stack. MobileGL never opens an X connection to a display its own process serves (`MG_Util/X11/DisplayGuard.h`; `MOBILEGL_X11_DIAL=0` forbids all), which is what made a glamor Xwayland deadlock on itself before. Show it without stopping the real server:

It no longer steps aside for `LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1` (918d40dd): that is Mesa's software-renderer selection, not a reason to disable MobileGL's entry points, so a process that sets it (a software Xwayland included) is still served by MobileGL while a server answers.
