I think that changing the resolution using xrandr may be a bad idea. You
should be able to configure the resolution to use in “weston.ini” when using
the DRM backend (“--backend=drm-backend.so”) with the vc4 driver.

You are right, the size of the viewport reported to web applications should
be 1280x720... *If* the understanding that the compositor has of the output
resolution is correct. Using xrandr might be a bad idea here because that
changes the output resolution that *XWayland* considers as active, but I do
not know if that would actually apply back to the Wayland (without X)
compositor.

Indeed, if you get more than 1 or 2fps with this demo, it is definitely
being accelerated by the GPU :-)

When using the FDO backend, WPE WebKit gets the input events from the Wayland
compositor. Does the LCD touch screen work for you with other applications
under Wayland? Weston (and most compositors) use libinput, which includes a
small tool to list supported devices:

  % libinput list-devices

Check that the touch screen appears there, then I would suppose that libinput
is missing some support for that touch screen. If it appears, you can use the
built-in test GUI to see whether libinput handles the touch screen correctly:

  % libinput debug-gui

If libinput's debug-gui works, then it is likely that there is a bug in
WPEBackend-fdo. Let me know what you find and then we can see if a bug needs
to be reported, and to which component.

Best regards,
—Adrián
