otherwise it will not work.

Tablet shell
Tablet shell is a graphical user interface aimed for tablet-like
devices, where usually the only input method is a touch screen.
It does not support freely floating windows or many other desktop
features, but intends to provide a natural interface on tablets.
Tablet shell consists of the shell plugin
.I tablet-shell.so
and the special client
.B weston-tablet-shell
which provides the basic user interface.
Fullscreen shell
Fullscreen shell is intended for a client that needs to take over
whole outputs, often all outputs. This is primarily intended for
running another compositor on Weston. The other compositor does not
need to handle any platform-specifics like DRM/KMS or evdev/libinput.
The shell consists only of the shell plugin
.IR fullscreen-shell.so .
.TP
IVI-shell
In-vehicle infotainment shell is a special purpose shell that exposes
a GENIVI Layer Manager compatible API to controller modules, and a very
simple shell protocol towards clients. IVI-shell starts with loading
.IR ivi-shell.so ,
and then a controller module which may launch helper clients.
