I finally decided to give Wayland a try, but it hasn't gone very well. |
2 |
I started by enabling the wayland use flag in make.conf, and let emerge |
3 |
make all required updates. I also added the gbm use flag, which only |
4 |
changed one or two packages, Based on various wiki and forum posts, |
5 |
I'm using "dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland" as the last line in |
6 |
.xinitrc, and launching with startx. |

I have two monitors which run just fine at 1920x1080 in xorg. Using |
9 |
wayland, the system seems to use only a single 1024x768 area in the |
10 |
upper left of the left monitor. The mouse can move all over both |
11 |
monitors (small white x) but all apps are restricted to that |
12 |
constrained area. There is no toolbar. I have tried googling for |
13 |
wayland and various combinations of dual monitor and limited |
14 |
resolution, but haven't found anything at all relevant that isn't at |
15 |
least four or five years old. I've looked through multiple wikis and |
16 |
forums, and not found anything helpful. |

Any pointers to some docs I might have missed? Any thoughts on whether |
19 |
this should be possible? I've got an AMD GPU. I realize there may be |
20 |
some applications that still won't play nice with Wayland, but I expect |
21 |
that the basic stuff (especially most KDE stuff, including kwin) should |
22 |
work. |

Thanks for any suggestions. |
