(Get the code!)
Mesa in Ubuntu has a patch for i915 that disables OpenGL 2.0 but not GLES 2,0. Thats why all mir clients and the unity8 session starts up.. since mirserver always use GL|ES.
Regular qt clients do the EGL init in a different path and they insist on GL 2.0.
When you recompile mesa without that patch you get the unity8 desktop but it is just too slow.. It would be better to implement a less demanding QtQuick backend .. and/or use a different mir compositor..
